Insect Glaive Build: Everything about Weapons, Armor & Decorations
What is the best build for the Insect Glaive? With the Insect Glaive, you are agile, and to make that worthwhile, it makes sense to focus primarily on attack and affinity.
The element is secondary here – what’s more important is the focus on stamina management and regenerating health when you are in a combo or in the air. This build is mainly about an aggressive playstyle.
| Weapon | Diprielcha (Artian weapon) or alternatively Gravordius |
| Armor | Gore Helm B Arkveld Armor B W.-Arkveld Armguard B Arkveld Waistband B Gore Leggings B |
| Talisman | Chaser Talisman |
How to build the best Artian weapon for the Insect Glaive
What do I need to build the Diprielcha? For Diprielcha, you should focus on selecting three attack infusions when crafting your materials. The element doesn’t matter and can be decided based on preference. We recommend choosing paralyze or explosion.
If you do not have good components or are unlucky with the enhancement bonuses for the Diprielcha, you can also opt for Gravordius, which you can craft from the individual parts of Gravios.
As a secondary weapon, it is worth using the Heavy Bowgun for buffs and healing or carrying a Greatsword to deal more damage when targeting weak points.
Which enhancement bonus should I focus on? When enhancing your Artian weapon, the following bonuses are especially important:
- Attack
- Affinity
- Sharpness
- Element
Which decorations are important? When it comes to decorations, you can be more flexible and choose the following options:
- Critical Jwl III 3
- Critical Jwl II 2
- Mastery Jwl 3
Insect Glaive Build: Armors and Decorations
Which armors are important? The armor choice focuses on the following equipment and effects:
Armors
- Gore Helm B
- Arkveld Armor B
- W.-Arkveld Armguard B
- Arkveld Waistband B
- Gore Leggings B
Set Bonuses
- Gore Magalas Tyranny
- Black Darkness I: Triggers fury in battle against large monsters
- Arkveld’s Hunger
- Fast Recovery I: Regenerates some health as long as you continuously attack monsters. Recovery depends on the weapon
Which decorations should I use? When it comes to armor, the main focus is on selecting decorations that increase your attack and affinity; in addition, due to fury, you need an effect that increases your infection recovery rate while simultaneously boosting your critical damage.
Since the Insect Glaive consumes a lot of stamina, especially with air combos, care has been taken to minimize your stamina loss. Therefore, you should equip the following decorations:
- Head
- Challenger Jwl 3
- Adjustment Jwl 1
- Chest
- Challenger Jwl 3
- Phoenix Jwl 2
- Arms
- Figure Jwl 1
- Figure Jwl 1
- Figure Jwl 1
- Waist

- Figure Jwl 1
- Legs
- Challenger Jwl 3
- Reason Jwl 1

How does the strength of the build unfold?
The Insect Glaive is one of the more complex weapons, and with its high stamina consumption and long combos, mastering it is no easy task. However, with this build, that hardly matters. Your attack and the affinity of your weapon are increased the more aggressively you play, and stamina consumption is reduced. Additionally, with Arkveld’s Hunger, you regain health the more often you hit your monster – this can be especially useful during longer combos.
Finally, this build also utilizes the fury mechanic to boost affinity. If you get lucky with the enhancement bonuses of your weapon, you can even achieve up to 100% affinity.
To top it all off, you can play either a Heavy Bowgun for buffs and healing as a secondary weapon or take a Greatsword to further maximize your damage.
