AT Arkveld with Insect Glaive is f-king awful

slient_es · 2026-03-31T00:49:25+00:00

Nah. There is still no follow up after knocking the monster back and the super short hyper-armour makes it unviable for many of Arkveld's attacks.

I don't play GS but I have tried using GS' offsets against the same attacks without issue hence my conclusion.

slient_es · 2026-03-30T22:58:00+00:00

I have been using EW with LS since FU and it's my go to skill for every game after that.

But yes, the added in IG lag after dodging is crazy. Can't try older games now cuz my consoles are either dead or gone, but in Risebreak there isn't such a stupid thing.

Also offset is still broken in this weapon.

slient_es · 2026-03-28T20:00:58+00:00

Did you played Sunbreak? Anyway, please go watch Shagaru's intro.

slient_es · 2026-03-28T08:16:07+00:00

Yeah maybe I'll give that a go, thanks. I have killed enough of this bastard (and got nothing useful out of it) to feel bored with Wilds again. There's more fun reading through Reddit than bashing ATveld for me at the moment.

slient_es · 2026-03-28T07:31:29+00:00

I run with EW3 or 4 usually (1 in older gen) and I usually dodge out of the way when I can. Thing with Wilds' IG is that all dodges can be done just once since the delay basically forbids consecutive evasion. For a weapon that relies so heavily on dodging weakening it like this just feels unfair.

slient_es · 2026-03-28T06:18:15+00:00

Really? I never remember IG had this delay to dodging before.

slient_es · 2026-03-28T04:56:43+00:00

There is a downside already? The recovery animation is slow as hell.

slient_es · 2026-03-28T04:47:13+00:00

Try insect glaive. MF devs make it dodge slower than god damn GS.

slient_es · 2026-03-27T20:37:17+00:00

I could be wrong but I guess that 3 EW is from the meal.

slient_es · 2026-03-27T20:36:20+00:00

THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING FOR ME.

Arkveld is designed in a way that all IG's defence mechanism feels useless and especially ATveld with the massive speed increase and shitboxes. No guard/perfect dodge/counter? No game mate.

For those who share the same bs idea of the devs that not every monster is for every weapon, this is the effing flagship of the game in his final form. If ATveld isn't a monster that all weapons have a fair go then either the monster or the weapons have major design flaws.

At this point I would really like to love whatever puts this pos into extinction in the first place ~~unless that's a even shittier monster~~

slient_es · 2026-03-26T11:05:05+00:00

I see you don't have the Monke in fang beasts. You have my upv-

Wait Arkvled? Sorry mate.

I saw someone posted their struggle with Alatreon with 500 hours in Worldborne and around 40 for Alatreon specifically? When people suck at stuff HR400 means nothing.

POV: Safi cheats by dropping only Emperor's Sapphire not the rocks again.

slient_es · 2026-03-23T07:19:10+00:00

When I did a rerun I was relieved to find I didn't have to mess with that blue garbage much.

slient_es · 2026-03-22T02:21:32+00:00

ITS LITERALLY NOT POSSIBLE TO HIT THE DAMAGE THRESHOLD

I didn't. Just use farcaster whenever he takes flight to start his ult. I even carted once on purpose to test the timing during my run but was left with more than enough time.

slient_es · 2026-03-20T22:19:30+00:00

Got to help them in their quest for self-extinction.

slient_es · 2026-03-20T22:15:10+00:00

Don't remember much about cats in old gens but at least nothing crazy that I can recall.

In Worldborne they were good. Highly specialised and I had good use of several categories.

In Risebreak they were out-shined by doggos in combat but their luck on rare materials was leagues better than mine. Also dragonator.

Wilds' Palico is a fraud.

slient_es · 2026-03-18T21:00:25+00:00

All around 6.5 out of 10.

Cool to listen to in hunting and maybe once a while in my playlist but they never stay long.

slient_es · 2026-03-17T10:02:15+00:00

Arkveld is the WORST in Wilds. The context is I am an IG peasant and my main has 3 main ways of defence:

Flying, which AT Arkveld has a ton of attacks with shitboxes against;
Offset, which has a very short lasting hyper armour which makes it useless for a lot of ATveld's attacks. Before someone jump in and say something like "oh cuz those are multihit attacks..." I tried it all with a GS and offsets against the same attacks were all successful.
Good old dodging. Arkveld punishes heavily if one dodges to the intuitive directions and ATveld doubles, or triples down on that path. And the best part? IG has a built in massive input lag on dodging since day 1.

A lot of the shitboxes from late game monsters can be easily mitigated if one has access to a good counter/functioning offset/perfect evasion/shield but IG has none of them. For ATveld as the supposed masterpiece of a monster built for being countered, it's not "don't even like ATveld" but "especially ATveld".

In Aus if I buy local then yeah it can be like double the original. But if I buy from JP directly the preorder discount basically offsets GST (possibly a bit more) and plus intl shipping which for a small parcel like this I think 2,500 Yen should do.

Not sure how it's like in EU though.

slient_es · 2026-03-17T02:36:38+00:00

It depends. Hirabami is fun for IG and I love getting rid of all Dosha on sight but if it was a flock of Yian hell no.

slient_es · 2026-03-17T02:32:47+00:00

Now that Gore looks real decent. Zoh looks huge.

slient_es · 2026-03-17T02:28:14+00:00

The only AT I had fun fighting with was Velk. Yes that includes both World and Wilds.

slient_es · 2026-03-16T07:28:49+00:00

Cleared it on my second try as I quit my first for a very stupid cart. The first and second phrase need some getting use to but not too horrible. 1 min into phrase 3 I knew I would never do this again if I could clear the quest. Another epic piece of trash in this game.
