Hunters, The insect glaive is coming to Monster Hunter Now! The insect glaive is a weapon type that lets you command a Kinsect to empower yourself while hunting. It excels at leaping attacks and striking from midair. When attacking, the Kinsect harvests extract. Once the Extract Gauge fills, the hunter enters a charged state. In this state, combos change and more powerful attack actions become available. Kinsects vary by weapon, with differences in attack actions and damage type, such as severing or blunt. The Special Skill Descending Thrust (SP) can be activated even while attacking in midair, driving a powerful strike down from above the monster’s head. We’ve also prepared limited-time quests to help you make the most of the insect glaive. Master it and gain the upper hand in your hunts!
