The Insect Glaive possesses amazing evasive and speed capabilities, and to use them lớn its fullest potential, you"re first going to lớn want khổng lồ get the Attack Extract from your Kinsect, after that you"ll be able to lớn maximise your damage output.
A huge advantage to using the Insect Glaive are its aerial maneuvers. You"ll want to Vault with R2 & X on PS4 / RT and A on Xbox. You can follow this up with an attack with Circle (or B on Xbox) or a Midair Evade, followed up with an attack.
