Today is the day, Insect Glaive users. The Insect Glaive is on its way to Monster Hunter Now! We no longer need to compromise to use a sword and shield or the twin swords.
Seregios, Almudron, and Viper Tobi-Kadachi will also make their first appearance in Monster Hunter Now. Riftborne Zinogre joins the hunt as well, and weapons forged from Zinogre materials can be upgraded through style customization.
The hunt continues in Season 9!
Update Details Weapon Type: Insect Glaive Arrives! The insect glaive is coming to Monster Hunter Now!
The insect glaive allows the hunter to empower themselves by commanding a type of bug called a Kinsect 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 charged state, combos change, and powerful attack actions become available. Kinsects vary by weapon, with differences in attack actions and damage type, such as whether it’s a severing or blunt attack.
The Special Skill Descending Thrust (SP) can be activated even while attacking midair, driving a powerful strike down from above the monster’s head.
