Yeah, Amatsu is such an awesome monster. Really happy that he's back and with style. Still struggling to get another mantle though. I hope you will make a new build with the new kinsect deco. Maybe a basic build that can be freely customize by anyone who want to try the build
I've been waiting for an IG rampage deco since the very first weapon specific ones came to be, and it did not disappoint! I love my super bug throw so nearly doubling its damage is gonna be great. Great decos, the new talisman melding options are super good, Shagaru and Amatsu are incredible, what a great update. Also, as a suggestion for your skeleton build including qurious crafting, I'd personally recommend rolling your pieces for minimal effort skills/slots (so, single slot upgrades or T1 deco skills), it's quite easy to get that and most people can end up getting even better rolls, so it does serve as a baseline without being too demanding, and also offering room for improvement, while allowing you to mix in your own ideas for builds with the couple extra slots.
This actually makes the least used switch skill Recall Kinsect be more viable. It provides less stamina use for your Kinsect for a while. I’ve been using that with Bilbobrix so it can continously attack for a long time even with the increased stamina use from Supercharge.
I'm not sure what possessed some Capcom dev to wake up one day and decide "you know what, I'm gonna make kinsects do nearly double the damage they do now," but I'm so glad they did lol. Been having a ton of fun thanks to this rampage decoration, specially using the rarity 7 charge kinsect and awakened kinsect attack. I always thought these had really cool potential and wanted to use them, but their low damage and lack of utility made it so hard to justify over alternative options. Now though I can yeet the bug with zero remorse, and it feels so good seeing it actually compete with some of the strongest attacks I had previously. Add in the Narwa glaive for the strongest elemental kinsect possible and Amatsu armor for infinite stamina on kinsect slash and its like I'm playing an entirely different game.
This rampage skill might make me use a speed kinsect more often, I usually only use powder or assist, though I do enjoy watching a speed kinsect chasing a fleeing monster while I sharpen the glaive.
Which speed kinsect do you like best? And can you briefly describe your bread and butter combos with the speed kinsect? I’ve been trying for multiple times but I couldn’t find the right mindset/flow, if you know what I mean
A long while back I fought Gaismagorm using only the new speed kinsects piercing attack. It was pretty slow, but it did work. Would like to see how much faster I can do it now. Also AKA powder vortex will be so nice with this.
@@SkySenseiVB I finally fought Amatsu and made the deco and your note on the powder vortex being 1.55x is actually wrong. It is also 1.8x and deals 2470 dmg with max powders. You probably just did AKA and then detonated, but AKA drops 6 powders and the max for vortex is 7. 6 powders gets 2117 while 7 is 2470. 7 powders without deco is 1372 so 1.8x :) An easy way to get the max is to AKA, then instead of send > detonate, mark > detonate. Takes the same time but drops 1 more powder. Just careful not to hit existing powder with mark since it blows them up
@@bdhdr4226 I'll check again. Thanks for pointing this out. I didn't do just the AKA. I did the same number for both with and without the jewel for 5, 6, and 7 powders. I must have messed something up if that's the case though. Thanks!
My hope for this deco is that the devs make bug damage more impactful for ig going forward. The utility they provide is great! Amazing even, but more dps would be nice to have
Its such a great part of the weapon! You can hack and slash with any weapon, but having a friendly ally like the kinsect is one of a kind ^_^ Kinsect has saved my butt more than once for sure haha
This deco is insane. It casually doubles my poweder vortex explosions. In that case it is a bad deco desing wise since using any other deco simply makes every glave build worse. Dont get me wrong I love that it exists, but I would have liked something with more quality of life. Like allies cant interact with my powder or kinsects have multi-hit or something.
Yea I totally understand that, it does shift the balance and its basically a must have for glaives. My guess with this is since this is basically the final update, they are okay with tipping the scales now a bit since it'll probably be the last shift in meta.
@@bdhdr4226 It is in the main game with the supercharger deco. On the training dummy with two other people with their own clouds being generated I got just over a 9800 damage pop and a 200 damage blast proc. And I've definitely gotten a 4000 damage pop on a real monster solo with it too.
Multiplayer fact: if you have more than one glaive with bilbo the explosion takes the sum of all players dust in the area and scales it off who has supercharge (they have to explode it tho)
Honestly a great question - I have not tested that myself so I'll try to make some time to test it this week. My initial stance is gonna be a no because frostcraft acts as a damage multiplier like sharpness does which also doesn't affect vortex.
What do you think about Heaven Sent as a skill and also to mitigate the stamina consumption? I also think about making a Para/general Status Glaive build - do you have any suggestions for that (haven't touched the game since Risen Chameleos got added lol)?
Heaven Sent is AMAZING! Literally just released a new video on it hahaha. Para glaive hasn't got an update at all so I don't think there's a better version but most monsters don't paralyze more than twice. I prefer poison cause some monsters can be poisoned 3-4 times in a hunt + lucent Narga is an updated glaive for end game. I wish we had an endgame para glaive. Would be so great but maybe with all the augments you could bring the paraglaive to decent levels!
It’s super fun! I have the same runtime regardless which kinsect and playstyle I use. So it means (at least for me) that all IG playstyles are viable now.
Real question though: How is the stamina condition affect the kinsect after it's been buffed with Recall Kinsect? Yes, I am one of THOSE hunters. How could you tell?
Have you guys enjoyed TU5 so far? Did you guys like the new Monster?

The lance rampage deco is also amazing, gives stun damage when using the normal block

I'ma need a ig build for this update
Skills beautiful. With my current build, I'm hitting 200 with normal pokes.

Ahh, insect glaive and amatsu, my favorite weapon and my favorite monster.....
My hope for this deco is that the devs make bug damage more impactful for ig going forward. The utility they provide is great! Amazing even, but more dps would be nice to have
I main IG because of kinsects more than glaives ; so i'm always happy when they buffs Kinsects. ^__^'

I got a 10,000 damage hit on the training dummy with Powder Vortex... It had other people helping make clouds but it wasn't even a wakup hit.
In the demo or actual game? In the demo they could stack but on release its capped at 7 powders, 1372 damage without deco or 2470 with

This deco is actually cracked wth, it buffs AKA, assist kinsect combos and powder vortex by 1.8x multiplier, jesus
Now waiting to get a frostcraft 3 talisman so I can do kinsect slash with heaven sent constantly while also using bloodlust on amatsu glaive >:)
It should boost element kinsect damage.
Hmm, how does the reduced stamina work if you use the switch skill that ups the kinsect stamina recharge? Even out?
With this new rampage deco, can we make useful build that use Foliacath kinsect?
Question: does powder vortex get benefits from frostcraft?

finally a kinsect buff not my ideal but shit at least they care about kinsects again the question how much did they buff triple up damage scaling
Real question though: How is the stamina condition affect the kinsect after it's been buffed with Recall Kinsect?
Yes, I am one of THOSE hunters. How could you tell?
Do u think that its better than elemental deco for elemental IG or useful for raw’s IG ?
Elemental deco should def be better!
Is this weapon strong..
Finally!!
I agree, Wish they added more kinsects 🥲
