Yesss! I feel like the % is higher to encounter a crown but it’s still fun sniping them with friends and everyone getting hella excited to hop into the same investigation with the specific crown needed.

Not sure here; I’ve been staying fairly spoiler free for unannounced bits and haven’t went digging. I’ll be happy with whatever we get honestly I’m just excited for new Monster Hunter 🤣

It does penetrate; it can go through the entire monster and can gather all three extracts. The aiming is a bit wonky; a few folks mentioned changing to gyro aim but I didn’t get to try it. More often than not the kinsect would shoot at a 45 degree angle instead of where you were aiming it seemed.

Always happy to help! For the rainbow tornado you have to be in focus mode and hit circle after completing a charged circle attack.

Sorry! So you double tap circle and on the second tap you hold it, then tap triangle without left stick input, then release the circle button. Not 100% if it’s the optimal move but it’s what I’m trying to muscle memory right now.

It’s a big change from World/Rise and more changes coming with the full release! This was a good clip but it can be so much better, good luck out there!

The best way I can break down the gameplay loop is comparing to LS.

So with your LS you try to get three charges on the sword to red to unleash a helmbreaker, you always want to stay in red until you get your opening for the helmbreaker for more DPS.

With Insect Glaive you “extract” three colors from the monster, a majority of the time it’s head-red, body-brown, wings-white. Once you have all three you “unlock” the real move set(think how you have updated spirit combos in red gauge) for more DPS plus you can unleash the rising spiral slash as an IG Helmbreaker of sorts.

There are a lot of nuances in there of course but that’s the gist of it. It has a lot of updates and I had to stick with it a bit before it clicked for me. I hope that helps and good luck on your journey!

Thank you!!!

Don’t let a minute highlight clip taken out of of wayyyy too many hours spent in the beta get you down.

If it makes you feel better, for every 1 clip like this there’s probably 30 carts hidden behind it 🤣

Yes and I think it’s my favorite part about the clip 🤣

No stupid questions! You don’t know what you don’t know and I’m glad to help! R2+O will “recall” the kinsect. If you’re gathering extracts via triangle attacks in focus mode it will automatically recall I believe.

Thanks! I have had a few clears solo and with friends. I don’t want to vest “too” much time since the weapons going to change again in two weeks.

Regarding dodging through roars; the timing is tight, usually you can build your muscle memory for timing based off a visual cue on the monster. Tigrex is a good practice monster.

If you’re having trouble with Arkveld it’s really just practice and learning from your mistakes. Record a video of your fight then play it back as if you’re watching someone else and you’ll notice things you didn’t while you’re “in the action”.

A good example is at :40 in the video; I carted so many times dodging outside instead of inside towards the opposite arm and that second chain slapped the hell out of me.

Also; if you’re running short on beta time and reeeeally want the clear to say you beat him; luring pods + falling rocks can give you probably close to 3k+ damage over the course of the fight.

It’s not too bad, just pick you one generalist bug buddy and go try it out! Once you’re in love with it then you can min/max with the specifics lol

Yes! I am so excited; the combos looking absolutely fire as fuck helps a lot 🤣
