    As an insect Glaive main, I’m glad someone is having fun with powder vortext. Not a build I use a lot, just cause it’s not my play style, but gathering up essence and nuking the monsters on occasion is always a fun time. Like we literally have a wizard costume armor set and staff, does capcom really think I’m not gonna practice casting nukes on monsters on occasion

    Absolutely phenomenal video! Can't wait to hear if anyone else tries out this build. It is one of my absolute favorite builds I've ever made. And before supercharged kinsect and amatsu glaive, yeah it kinda just kept up with my other builds in terms of DPS, but HOO BOY! Once those came out, this build just kind of took off like a valstrax!
    Just thought I'd clear a couple things up for people wanting to make the build for themselves. To my knowledge, your kinsect doesn't scale off of raw attack but off of the kinsect level of your glaive. A lv 14 or 15 kinsect level glaive should make Bilbobrix the best he can be. More attack WILL make any powder mantle procs (which if you have powder mantle 3, only takes 17 hits which Bilbobrix DOES count towards) as well as any incidental melee hits from things like aerial sting or aerial glide (the silkbind move) used to acquire your essences both do more damage. Working those moves into your essence gathering roster could be a good way for a melee loving IG user to eke slightly more dmg out of the weapon itself. Tho I find that with practice, the fastest way for me to gather essences is the old fashioned way. RT + X -> RT + A spam. On that note, I like evade extender 3 on this build, because being able to single roll from the monster's face all the way to it's tail to get red then orange essence can make all the difference between getting your triple buff (i.e. getting your next AKA out this opening.) EE3 also allows IG to do something no other weapon can do. Vault straight up, then straight away from or to the side of most attacks and usually be okay, and I love that.
    Also, Bilbobrix is a severing kinsect, which means that his AKAs can cut tails. So have fun with that XD And if casting "Fireball" in a public lobby isn't working out, you can always switch to the other powder vortex kinsect, the blunt paralysis powder vortex one. On high level afflicteds, I still usually get 4 stuns and 3-4 paralysis procs, and while my personal DPS drops from somewhere in the 100-150 range (with Bilbobrix) down to the 50-75 range, you should see the crazy DPS numbers I've seen other people get when I go from casting "Fireball" to "Hold Monster". One guy in a random lobby with a charge blade almost cleared 300 DPS cuz of my shenanigans! XD It was so close, like 296 or something. Never seen a DPS number that high in an actual hunt before or since!

      Sounds like MH4U insect glaive when mounting was OP. I wasn't very good at solo IG but good enough for the team support role of stunning monsters so others could do the big damages. Its hard to switch the brain from the selfish desire to do the most individual damage to the supportive desire to enable the most group damage but it makes for some spectacularly fast hunts when at least one person plays the support role. I miss the old days of SNS or quicksheathe flashbombing being a crucial team position haha

    @aiexmonsterhunter 8 місяців тому +19

    It's true that you get a decent damage output with low skill investment, but I'd say the effectiveness of this playstyle is highly match-up dependant and is quite situational overall.
    For one, the target monster needs to be large enough for the Awakened Kinsect Attack to consistently hit at least 3-4 times, most bird wyverns and fanged beasts are probably a no-go because of this. Then monsters that move around a lot would be a hassle to hit by the vortex, so things like Nargas, Mizus and Valstrax are also out. Since the build deals mostly fixed damage it's going to be most effective against monsters with generally bad hitzones, so things like Barroth, Basarios, Jyuratodus, Lunagaron, Gore, Astalos, Espinas and the metal raths are likely its best pairings. For monsters with easily exploitable weakspots you will probably get faster clears with a more conventional crit/element set and assist kinsects. Lastly, this set-up is almost unusable in multiplayer and follower hunts, since most of the powder clouds would get detonated by teammates before you have a chance to use the vortex attack.
    So yeah, it's a fun and unique playstyle but also situational. It has been a thing since the demo, but it keeps being niche for good reasons.

    • @ZekariusZetorian
      @ZekariusZetorian 8 місяців тому +16

      I will say, this is my multi-player support build. My wide range free meal build and in solos I play with followers constantly. You just get used to positioning the dust clouds in places that people aren't at, and if you're fast, you can pop your own dust before they become available for anyone else to pop. (There's a small window after AKA where your dust can't be popped.) Also while using powder vortex, any dust bilbobrix has grabbed can't be popped by any other source, which makes it a ton easier than you would think to pop your own dust clouds.
      I would definitely agree that this build trivializes fighting enemies with poor hitzones, just like full shelling gunlance does. (I play that too.) But I've used this build on everything from great izuchi to primordial malzeno, and it really does seem like a gimmick that shouldn't work. I made it originally as a joke. I just wanted to make an AKA build and discovered the powder kinsect interaction.
      And before amatsu and the rampage deco, it only kind of kept up with my other builds in dps. After that tho, I ended up discovering it was literally doubling my other builds in dps. 75 - > 150. It may not be speed run levels of dps, I have no idea what that is. But I clear AR240 investigations in sub 10 minutes. And that's good enough for me.

    I would totally use this if I liked the playstyle enough. I play a hybrid with bilbobrix where I play an agressive in-the-face playstyle just like with assist kinsects, but I just use the powder explosions in-between attacks. I can position the kinsect on the tail while I generate clouds on the face and when the monster rises I explode them all for roughly 1.5-2k dmg. I enjoy aerial IG too much and can't be bothered with constantly getting back extracts.
    I made a similar build to the one in the video that I use when I feel like dunking on an annoying monster. It makes Jyurudatus and the rock monster actually fun to fight!!!

    @Doron488 8 місяців тому +4

    I assumed this strategy was terrible out of hand, but this video convinced me to give it a shot. Took this setup to the Anomaly Research: Lunagaron and gave it a spin since Lunagaron has lots of predictable openings to land the Awakened Kinsect attack and generally has poor hitzones so the fixed damage that this setup does should excel.
    Clear time of 10:35. Two anomaly novas.
    Attempted the same quest again with switch axe to get another data point to compare to.
    Clear time of 4:36. Zero anomaly novas.
    Edit: I did another run, this time with Insect Glaive since it made more sense to have another data point that didn't involve comparing across weapon classes.
    Clear time of 5:17. Zero anomaly novas.
    I feel the results speak for themselves. While an argument could be made that the reason the first run was so slow was because of my own inexperience with the setup, powder vortex spam has both a low skill floor and a low skill ceiling. More experience with the playstyle will not equate to more than twofold difference in damage output.

    Just seeing no quest timer in your gameplay clips, no clear times when you actually show your audience a monster kill and no mention of your typical quest time completion tells me everything I need to know about the "efficiency" of the build.

I got the same numbers using awakened kinsect attack with both amatsu and flaming espinas weapons, even the vault attack which I would assume isn't kinsect damage, despite them having a difference of 50 raw.

      When switching between a blunt and cutting kinsects to test element I got a large damage difference on awakened kinsect attack. The highest element glaive I found was narwa with 61 electric. And the primordial malzeno glaive has 3 four slots for decorations. Both are better than amatsu glaive in my opinion.

    • @iixxion
      @iixxion  7 місяців тому +1

      sharpness doesn't matter. the amatsu glaive gives 10% damage boost to kinsect attacks. Aside from that, the only other stat that matters on your glaive is the attack power of the glaive itself.

Same reason I don't use the lance's skyward thrust even against optimal targets. I just don't like to look at it so I don't.

    Wow.... I have so many thoughts now.... but first of all I'll say that this is a very cool strategy and it seems pretty genius to me even though I have never played Monster Hunter Rise before.
    But wow... people expecting you to play PERFECTLY ALL THE TIME for their builds... that truly disgusts me. Like I can understand if they put it like "this is the potential that the build has", but then comparing ONLY the PERFECT scenario of what the VERY MAXIMUM of what their little builds can do as if it's always going to happen exactly how they want it, to a build that is consistently doing solid good damage EVERY TIME without even needing perfection in any way, and only needing speed and focus.... that just DISGUSTS ME! How arrogant and scummy can these stupid experts get?! You're not an expert at a game if you can't be REAL! I'm so angry at these so called "experts" for how they so extremely disregarded such a valid and strong playstyle like that without ANY good reason! What IDIOTS!
    Thank you for standing up for this kind of playstyle and/or build/technique. We need more people like you in the world. We need people to show the facts, not delusional and arrogant "potential damage".

    • @ZekariusZetorian
      @ZekariusZetorian 8 місяців тому +1

      The problem at the moment, is you either have to bullet barrage spam or you have to play a very technical shelling playstyle (wide charged shells or normal or long full burst) in order to be effective late game with gunlance.
      I personally use wide GL with full tank (guard 5, guard up 3, emboldened 3) focus 3, artillery 3, sneak attack 3, stun resist 3, and heaven sent 2, and I run ground splitter and reverse blast dash for my silk binds. Both have hyper armor, so if you use them to body an attack, you don't lose heaven sent.
      Also, charged shelling, erupting cannon, and guard reload. All put together, your shells do a significant amount of damage, you can always pivot into erupting cannon by holding back and hitting your shell button after a charged shelling attack, and you have three ways to protect yourself from losing heaven sent (which lv 2 refills your shells when you swap scrolls, not to mention the defense buff it gives.)
