The fact that like, there is an actual legitimate choice between which kinsect to use is, IMO, the single greatest feature of rise. I actually sit and think before each hunt whether I want status, more stagger, or better tail severing and pick Powder, Assist, or Speed as appropriate. Also, on speedier monsters that are harder to get the right extracts from, I really like either Assist or Speed for obvious reasons, but against bigger, slower guys I tend to take Powder type because they stay in the Powder more frequently.
Trying to use a Powder Kinsect against Nargacuga was really annoying, for instance, and I should have used someone else. On the other hand, big monsters like Anjanath I loved having poison powder all over him.
Kamura S and Izuchi lance has been doing work, the lance's final upgrade has a very nice amount of blue sharpness and with the armor I've got a healthy chunk of affinity, and 140 raw. It's quite efficient and super easy to make.
Okay, Kinsects! Everyone loves them, they're giant bugs that are strapped to your arm and that obey your every command. This is what everyone dreams about, right? I know I certainly do!
This is the quality @Arch content that I come to the PA forums for.
Also, weird edge complaint, but... removing the ability to layer any armor really feels like a big step backwards. That was such a great addition to MHW I felt and I liked being able to play style hunter that much more.
Layered armor is in the game, but for now it requires the purchase of the digital deluxe or the Magnamalo amiibo.
There are some other smaller purchases available as well.
Once that cow is milked I’m sure they’ll put more options into Rise.
Not referring to that though. I'm referring to layering any armor over other armor, not just vanity armor.
I love the Aknosom long sword, its great work horse long sword when you're starting out and then its the same thing when you get to HR. Great Birb would kill again.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

All I'm saying is World did the paid cosmetics and IB gave the cow away for free, if we're continuing these bovine metaphors. Expect something similiar.

Yeah I knocked the everloving shit out of a charging Zinogre with a rage slash last night and I think the pact is all but sealed.
My biggest bugaboos with GS was the movement after the attacks, which power sheath all but solves, and the fact you get hit 9 times out of 10 doing true charge slash, which rage slash all but solves.

Probably. I'm certainly not happy about it, but it's a minor issue for me.
I imagine that decision wasn't in the devs hands, since it directly involves extra money. So if anything, I'd be blaming economics and Capcoms front office.

Izuchi S feels like a really solid early HR set for bow. Constitution 3 + Crit Eye 4 is a nice start, will probably stick with this until I find a combo to get attack boost 4.
Rocking the Tobi Kadachi bow against pretty much everything so far, even against thunder immune monsters it has 150 raw + a good bit of affinity. Though I am finally unlocking some good bows in other elements; crafting those should help out a ton in some of the more annoying matchups.

Unlocking the HR cap in late April is gonna be sweet. Also they're saying "Several features" along with the Chameleos/Apex Rathalos/other monsters.
Ok this is something they do in a lot of Monster Hunter games, you're going along and suddenly they're like "oh no! It's a new monster we've never seen before! And we've decided to name it Delectible Tyrant Marsh-Kodachi!"
Dude who just pulls a name out of their ass like that? Nobody's even ever fought it, you don't know any of its properties that might help in naming it! When people encounter something new they tend to call it "that new animal" or "unidentified species discovered 11/9" or whatever. You don't just immediately call it Seymour and suddenly everyone accepts it.
It would be kind of awesome to fight a monster without even knowing what to call it for most of the game. Name just a series of question marks.

Hmmm I IG'd in World and wanted to do something different for variety but now I'm reconsidering if it's so dang different.
I liked IG in World, but got tired of a lot of the kinsect extract juggling (and didn't even want to deal with the kinsect feeding stuff in Iceborne). I think I'm ready to give it another chance

So, Long Sword. I'm basically just spamming the Sakura Slash or w/e it is to get into the Red Sword, and then spamming X -> X -> A -> etc over and over, right? If the monster topples sometimes I'll use the spirit slash combo, but I'm not sure if it actually does any more damage than just infinitely chaining X and A. I assume when I reach HR 3 or w/e I'll switch out roundslash for the one where I wave the sword over my head?

I have never enjoyed the kinsect leveling. Like its hard enough deciding which weapon I want to upgrade. The kinsect stuff always felt like a bad holdover from like mag leveling in PSO.

The problem is that too many weapons are cool and I don't have the monster parts to keep all of them current! Maybe dropping SnS for IG would be the call. They're both very mobile weapons, my others being swaxe and lance.

spirit slashes do more damage then X & A, and you do more damage across the board at higher spirit gauge levels (white is 5% damage, yellow 10%, red 20%). you can always cancel out of spirit slashes into Iai stance or foresight slash or just evading (except spirit slash 3, since that's multiple hits and animation locks you), so only commit as much as you think you can get away with the monster before it reacts or moves

This so much. I think right now I'm in 4* village quests, and I've unlocked the second switch skill for SnS, IG, and LS already. And I'm fighting the urge to start building some HH's, or maybe some Hammers. I should probably also make a ranged weapon for Hub quests, although I'll probably just use Azurios for that.

The final slash of the Spirit Reckoning Combo (which I think is the old Adept combo?) does almost twice as much damage, in exchange for not Sheathing your sword, a vertical hit instead of wide horizontal hit, and no dash movement. I'd say it's worth it, because it's rare to use the Spirit Combo to clear out trash. Since you don't Sheathe, you can also follow up the Spirit Reckoning combo with Zr+B to sheath stance, then either follow up with a wide Zr dash slash or X to get two more strong hits in to extend it.
You can actually just spam X now to do the normal loop. They made it easier (I think this was true in World, too?). The Spirit Slash Combo does more damage than this, though, so you should be using Zr whenever possible. When your Wirebugs are back up, you should immediately use them to do more Silkbug Sakura Slashes, since they do a lot of damage (especially if you get both hits on the monster. Once you get Drawn Double Slash, I find it better to sheathe my weapon whenever I'm dashing toward the monster to get that initial drawn double hit (which does great damage and has armor frames). Fortunately, holding down R already sheathes it automatically.
When doing the X spam combo, you should throw in some Left Stick + X + A fade slashes to reposition yourself to a better location if you aren't getting those delicious orange numbers.

Once I get quick sheath, what are the motion values on Iai Slash or the Iai Counter (does it get bonus damage if it counters) vs just spamming X faster? I guess I can probably just grab a LS and go check in the training room, huh.

I just discovered (for myself; IIRC this was also a World thing) that there are some endemic life that you only "collect" by taking their picture. Found the one in Shrine Ruins, assuming one/map; the Notes tell me there's five, after all.

I also can almost 100% bet that sometime in the next day or two, Arrekz will have a guide to the changes for Insect Glaive in Rise that not only A. goes over my changes and descriptions but also B. points out things I missed.
This happened to Bows when I switched from being an Insect Glaive main to Bow main in MHW, if you guys recall I did a huge effort post going over bow changes and combo damage numbers etc....only for Arrekz to drop a more comprehensive video guide like a week later.
So what I'm saying is stay tuned for the inevitable Arrkez in-depth insect glaive guide!

I hate that video has become the predominant method of distributing video game information. I mean, I get it... a lot of folks like watching videos, and some information is easier to express that way (like "here's this hidden passageway you may have overlooked!"). But when the information is really difficult to find in text, it drives me up the wall. I can digest a lot more information a lot faster by reading it! Scrubbing through a video is a chore, as is the constant shilling and "like/subscribe/ring that bell" self promotion.
