Mathematically Best RAW Insect Glaive Builds (MHW META)
Welcome to our guide on the Mathematically Best Raw Insect Glaive Builds in MHW! IG is one of the most interesting and fun weapons in Monster Hunter World and we’re excited to cover these MHW META Builds :D.
We do have a second video coming out soon covering the best elemental builds and what matchups to use them in.

I second Hunting Horn!
Too sad about dragon soul not having speed lv15, lv14 feels way too slower than lv15 so I had to ditch him :(…
I actually made Vice just because it looked pretty. Ive never used it but i look at it sometimes
Hunting horn
Jin jinx and tuna did pc have kjarr weapons?
I don’t actually like Pseudocath. I prefer to use the Whispervesp. High speed, high Health, terrible damage. It’s high Health though means it recharges waaay faster than Pseudocath, so you can send it out more often and have more Blast dust to exploit. You can effectively ignore the timing of your recalls because it will recharge in a few seconds even when it its stamina is fully depleted. You’ll also never run into the annoying situation of your buffs running out but your kinsect stamina being empty. The health stat also determines how effective green extract is at healing, so the fast, weak, but high-health kinsects are great for general use and utility, though in pure DPS they still lose. How that changes based on having more dust explosions and more kinsect uptime probably isn’t enough to offset the damage loss either, but I personally prefer utility over DPS. If you’re not looking to shave off every possible second, I highly recommend dropping Psuedocath for a Bug with higher Health.
I am now focused on mhgu, but your videos makes me want to go farm in world for decos
Mathematically best Slinger Builds!
Not sure why people make aerial IG builds in the first place. They were not great in 4 and they did not receive any buffs other than new moves in the air. The aerial portion of IG has always been for extra mounting damage, but now that all weapons can easily add mounting damage (and more of it than IG) there is little reason to go in the air with IG other than getting away from a monster easily.
Vice looks nice and is a really good starter Insect Glaive. I love it.
Did the gala hat change any of the old meta sets?
Finally letting people know that aerial glaive is trash
Vice + full Odogaron armor is perhaps my favorite fashion in the game, possibly swapping out the head piece for the layered sealed eyepatch. If only Odogaron’s armor was more powerful to fit into the DEEPS meta. As for what weapon should be next, my choice is the Sword and Shield, both raw and elemental. After all, it IS the best weapon in the game 😉
thank you for letting people know that the jump attack is not that good.
Would have been nice to have an arrial ig just for arch tempered xeno
Here’s my aerial IG build for when I’m fighting AT Xeno; it’s not “meta” but I feel it does a pretty good job of killing Xeno in a reasonable time while still being fairly safe overall. If you’re having trouble killing AT Xeno it might be worth a shot.

Was my comment…deleted?….but why?
So is RAW IG really viable??
I’m trying to get into IG and I got all Kjarr elemental ones but I don’t feel like doing a build for every element, which is why I like raw builds the most.
I think I got the Kjarr para as well.
+sp33dzer0 Thanks, I’m just trying to figure out if exploiting monsters elemental weakness will give you much higher damage than a high Raw build, like Dual Blades for example.
IG is a nice weapon because it has good elemental values and good motion values, so both are viable
My favorite IG is the Gae Bolg in terms of cool factor, Tuna
Vice is a close second, though because I can’t not love a goddamn TRIDENT
I also love Dragon Soul because of the rule of cool
Holy shit it’s finally here.
Bow redo for kjarr
I wonder when elemental IG can compete with raw. The MV for IG are the same as LS as far as I know, and the numbers for crit element IG look real bad compared to raw. Waiting for the next video, have this question in my mind for a long time.
No Element-less IG builds?
H O W E V E R
I totes agree Tuner. Vice/DS combo so sexy. -Arcus Allsorts
Quick question. Is it worth going for status Kinsects?
Pretty much just the Sever type Paralysis one, if you’re running either KT Paralysis glaive. I’ve tried using the Blunt one too, but its terrible speed requires a different style of play, ie, point-blank extract shots, or marking certain parts with the pheromone bullet.If your bug is the sole source of a status, it’s nigh on impossible to trigger it more than once. Focusing on Para is great in co-op, since you provide your team free openings with mounts and paras. Less useful for solo runs, since IG doesn’t need big openings to begin with.
I don’t think any of them are fast tho
+Pedro Vilar As with status always, understand that you’re trading off status for damage. If what you’re looking for is max dps then no, it’s not worth it, but if you’re looking for a specific status effect to apply more frequently then yes. My anti-AT Vaal set used a para dust kinsect because my job on the team was to para/set up mounts, and I typically managed to get sooner and more reliable para procs thanks to the extra buildup.
+Ross K Im saying Kinsects not IG’s
The kjarr para, yea
As soon as I saw this, I immediately shared it with my two friends that main it. Thanks for making this video guys.
It’s a stick and a bug
No big surprise
Thanks for that little detail on kinsects in which I only need to make 6 of one kinsect, and give them different elements (+ raw).
Looking forward to the elemental glaives!
Aw yes, the cockroach toothpick weapon
Gunlance lightbow gun hunting horn
Where’s the love for my gunlance? Lol shell shockers unite
Je suis monte
Hunting horn! I want to bring the beats with a BEATING
Gunlance or DBs next time pls
Lbg next
“Overwhelmingly Insect Glaive” – Shows poll with 16 votes total. lol
+Basil I see. Still kinda funny though 😀
It’s a poll for for patreon supporters
This video is so convenient since just yesterday I kept looking for an IG build xD
But, but dragon is elemental too. mind. blown! I jest of course, I like how Jho is still relevant
yeah~!!! IG~~!! finally!!! can’t wait for your elemental builds too~!!
dive2world
Exactly
I have all the kjar IGs but l don’t know which one is the superior for the none elemental ones
LBG next please
For a more realistic non elemental glaive I sometimes use the rarity 7 KT Claw. Don’t know how it actually stacks up mathematically but it’s certainly easier to maintain white sharpness that Diablos glaive.
I have a bad news for ya. It’s worse than Styx…. which worse than Ruin…. Which worse than Jho and Para.
+Cosmeonic G Oof
+Jared Johnson i just did a set for it, tarroth claw can hit 100% affinty and 480 EFR (effective raw). But with only 10 points of white sharpness, and peak performance, with an affinity and attack augment
I know I can, I just haven’t tried it before. Maybe I’ll have to start.
U can check it on honeyhunters. It does the math for you, just put the set and decos in it and put KT claw as the weapon
Thanks for checking out the video guys! We have the Elemental IG Builds video coming out soon for ya’ll
so for PC I just use the GrungeStorm with meta armor, oki 😀 +JinJinx and Tuna [Monster Hunter Math]
+Plusy The blunt vs sever in terms of damage chagnes how much daamge they deal based on HZVs. But the change isn’t really significant enough to warrant using non pseudocath.
The blunt can in theory KO a monster if it hits the head enough times. But the amount of hits needed is so high you should have killed the monster by then
A quick question about Kinsect bonus on certain weapons like the Kjarr para, you say that the pseudocath III is the best kinsect because of its speed and power, but it is also a sever type. How important is this Kinsect bonus and are some Kinsects like the pseudocath just too good and make this bonus irrelevant?
“we’re the monster hunter math guys”
:bliss:
:]
HELL yeah. Only loses to Gunlance as the biggest brain weapon. :kappa:
I’m an IG mainer and when I tried greatsword and bow I was surprised how are they literally braindead dumbfuck weapons compared to an ig.
NUT
+Niels Okkerse NUT
Copycat
like a lot of mhw gear. the IG jho is good dps but it looks bad (in my personal opinion)
Excuse me good sir but I’ll have to disagree. Jho ig looks badass af
It think gunlance needs it
Yaaaaayyyy now I get to be Kain in style!
VERY NAISU
Still waiting for DB.. haha
Same
This is what we subscribed for! Would be nice to see an updated guide for the older guides since we got kjarr weapons like the switch axe video.
+JinJinx and Tuna [Monster Hunter Math] And dual blades? Arent all the new meta now?
Plusy the switch axe has no new metas thats why
Thanks! The only builds that got updated from Kjarr that we haven’t covered yet are Bow and CB, both of which we plan on visiting soon
AT LAST, THERE IT IS. Thanks a lot for your hard work <3
finally!
