The Insect Glaive excels at dealing elemental damage through the use of Kinsects while also boosting the user's mobility.

One of the key strengths of the weapon is midair attacks which, along with correctly timed combos, can allow players to basically deal a ton of damage to the monster they are hunting while juggling themselves in midair, keeping them away from
