To each their own I suppose, but evade distance 2 on an IG is FAR more important to me than any other skill. Even with hundreds of hours of IG experience between World and Rise, I felt my survivability and comfort level skyrocketed with only 2 points in it.
Yes, totally agree. I found an evade distance 3 charm and started using it and it makes a world of difference not only defensively, but lets you engage better as well.
its wierd how when I want more range I don't have it and when i need less I do. there are moments where I over shoot the Diving Wyvern and moments where its just not enough so 2 feels like a good compromise
I love evade extender on ig on the ground. Hate it in the air. That being said it's just because i'm not used to it. And it all depends on what switch skills you are using. I'm sure most use diving wyvern but my current favorite build is kinsect slashes into enhanced spiker, immediately hit recall kinsect, chain back into the combo while in midair from recall kinsect, start the combo over and get a chunk of health. I constantly use silkbind vault and midair evade to reposition and i just find EE takes me too far from where i want to be. But i've been wanting to use EE for my ground IG. I may try to work it in if i can. Because yes EE is far more useful in this game than evade window. It's not even close. EDIT: just used it and it doesn't effect me like i thought it would. problem now is trying to fit it onto all my builds
I recently found your channel and have been enjoying your videos. I've been using the Level 1 Kinsects with the Recovery Up skill while I learn the monsters patterns. If I take a hit. I send the bug out two to three times to get most or all of the health I lost back. Thanks for the videos.
My personal comfy build is similar to this, but with a different approach: I use Royal Order Glaive with Boosted Powder Kinsect, and Divine Ire Mask + Archfiend Armor + Divine Ire Kote + Rathalos Coil + Holy Ire Hakama + Attack Boost 2 [2] Talisman; key skills include: Furious 3 / Defense Boost 7 / Attack Boost 4 / Crit package (Max Boost + Exploit,) but I can only ramp crit rate to 75% with Eye 3 + Might 1 (85% if swap Razor 3>2 to Might.) It's for Afflicted hunting. The Idea is to have maximum defense for bouncing back after getting hit and leech back the health with the blood (de)buff, and swap to using aerial style when Furious is maxed out. I can still do 1000+ Diving Wyvern damage on heads with this build.
I did played IG before, but it's taking time to learn the new tricks this weapon has, it almost feel like I'm learning a new weapon. Thanks for this build, I'll use while I learn this weapon (again). I would really use a guide for this weapon
Hey man, could you please make a water element set video. I know water is not the best element but it's still useful to know a good set for it. Love your insect glaive videos.
The only thing I don’t agree with is Evade Window. With how much monsters in this game have lingering hit boxes, it just doesn’t pull its weight enough to justify the extra 0.2 second immunity frames.
The basic dodge is downright terrible in this game. I only use it as a combo resetter or when I have evade extender. Adept IG in generations ultimate was incredible. I really miss that.
Have you used grinder s yet? i dont know about IG but for my SnS its very good im getting sub3/4 solo hunts maybe somthing to try? p.s watching this on 0.5 makes you sound drunk XD
@ItsAGF actually yes it is very good on IG, as fast as you blow through sharpness, and especially with I think it's either girain golems or the dios one it benefits from alot cause it goes from purple to blue which technically since you have lvl 2 grinder your technically have sharpened 2 lvls even tho it doesnt have white
Use evade extender level 2 and feel the difference. Also if you keep dying on the spinning dragonator, use Dive jewel so you can superman dive forward toward the center. Wait 1-2 sec when the dragonators start spinning and dive toward the center and punish Narwa for the entire duration.

Agreed. A couple points into Extender is far more valuable than Window.

I always have EE 2+ and Constitution 4+. Easy to get with level 4 decos.
Oh this is a great idea, I wish more weapon types had this kind of videos.

You can look at one of his other elemental builds an switch out the element Deco for whatever element u want
Great video! What switch skills are you using for this build?
I have been advancing slash, tornado slash, and kinsect slash. :) I honestly haven't played enough tetraseal
Great build 👍

I agree it also doesnt hjelp you in the air, evade extender makes your air dodge go further which really helps against a lot of flying monsters

With aurocanth helm you can get Masters touch 3 making sharpness not a big deal with IG. I have MT3 with all my IG sets.
@@melovech6675 the whole point would be dropped sharpness as fast as possible then using grinder s + protective polish
I’m hitting a hard wall at narwa MR30. She’s just so punishing. Think imma put this game down for a while
go immortal my brotha
Use evade extender level 2 and feel the difference.
Also if you keep dying on the spinning dragonator, use Dive jewel so you can superman dive forward toward the center. Wait 1-2 sec when the dragonators start spinning and dive toward the center and punish Narwa for the entire duration.
You could also use a farcaster as soon as his spinning shit starts
Narwa was tough, failed the quest several times.
It’s mainly now down to the last phase of the battle when Narwa just throws out non stop tail lashes and I run out of stamina dodging them all
