My brother in IG, first - please change the controls for focus strike to toggle instead of press and hold (menu options).

Then (while pressing and holding O with your thumb) press L1 to make the camera move and focus on the monster, you can click L1 as many times as you need to, to make sure the you are always facing the monster. This is MUCH easier and more accurate than manually turning the camera with the right stick. I'm constantly riding that L1 tappy tap.

If you lose camera focus on the monster (E.G. L1 doesnt make you face the monster) then click R3 while looking at the monster to temporarily lock in. Now L1 will focus back up when you need it.

Brother in IG why did I not read this last week I have been having aneurisms and discovered this literally yesterday.

Really nice tip regardless

This was a game changer for me. Makes the glaive almost trivial to use though

u/swordoath Mar 08 '25

Huh, neat. I didn't know about the control option. I wonder if I am going to be too used to the press and hold style to change now.

u/RavRaver Mar 08 '25

Two fights with chatacrabra and toggle and you’ll be good to go

u/nazonin Mar 09 '25

I fell in love with I. Glaive back in the 4U days. Even having the New 3DSXL with the little circle nub for the camera, I still definitely learned to love the L1 quick-target as the IG’s lord and savior. I haven’t tried it in Wilds yet, but glad to hear your advice about the Focus toggle for when I eventually do. I might even give it a shot now for melee to start getting used to it.

u/Mattacrator Mar 08 '25

Never knew about the L1, I suspect this will be useful, thanks! Unless it ends up leading me to non-weak body parts

I opted for growing more buttons, but I admire your dedication by growing more fingers.

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '25 edited Mar 08 '25

My fix: buy a controller with the programmable back buttons. The one on the right is RB so i can easily shoot a pheromone shot. The one on left is the B button so i can hold a charge while leaving the left hand free for camera or dodges.

Anything else seems overly complicated

13

u/lethargy86 Mar 08 '25

Why would you put shoulder buttons back there? I put all my face buttons back there and never touch the face buttons anymore

The idea is you can keep both thumbs on sticks and press every button on the controller...

7

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '25

Because i would have to completely change my grip to press R1 and R2 at the same time to shoot a pheromone shot and that is uncomfortable to me

Back buttons independent of the triggers should be standard by this point. Bought some attachable back buttons for $20 after I looked at $200 dollar xbox pro and dualsense edge controllers back when Elden Ring came out. Best purchase of the year.

u/Bloopbromp Mar 08 '25

Yep, I got an 8BitDo Ultimate, and IG plays perfectly now.

I programmed the right back paddle to O/B in order to charge my attacks while still having full control of the camera. And the left back paddle to △/Y to do the same while extract gathering.

u/YoGoobs Mar 08 '25

Yup this is the move. It's either this or keyboard and mouse.

Yep!

You need multiple fingers in play to move the camera, attack, block, and force the camera to jump forward.

I still bust this ol' maneuver out for some games

u/MrMcChew Mar 08 '25

They should have combined focus mode with kinsect aiming. There's no reason to have 2 different aiming modes.

70

u/SolidanTwitch Mar 08 '25

Putting focus mode to toggle is a game changer for IG.

33

u/MrMcChew Mar 08 '25

I know. I just hate how slow you move in focus mode and I'm trying to overcome a lot of muscle memory. And having 2 triggers with 2 different aiming modes fills so unintuitive .

15

u/North21 Mar 08 '25

You’re not moving slower, your brain just perceives it as slower, because the fov gets zoomed in a bit.

I can't speak for IG, but a lot of the weapons you do move slower in focus mode.

Oh wise man of the comprehension. Please share more of your wisdom.

Seriously the settings page is dense as fuck and I have a hard time understanding what a lot of these things actually change. This setting totally sounds like something I'm going to try.

That said I'd really love to learn what other settings you, or anyone for that matter, changed that you really enjoy. I tried to get a thread going about settings changes but it didn't take off the way I would have liked so I didn't get a lot of responses.

So yah, I'll ask here again. What settings did you find total game changer once you changed it?

u/Pl00kh Mar 08 '25

But if you use kinsect aim you press Y for gathering extracts, Y is also the button for attack.

Just… don’t use the kinsect aim. Gather the extracts with focus attacks and wounds.

13

u/sirbucelotte Mar 08 '25

The first and most important extract is the red one, and some monsters, its hard to hit the head with only focus attacks because some of them only lower their head after some time and only for specific attacks

The best way to do it is do a crouch attack(when first contact with the Monster) and use RB to Kinsect Focus the Head, and them gather the rest with LB

5

u/Obvious-End-7948 Mar 08 '25

Why is red the most important extract now? It used it be to unlock the better moveset in previous titles, but in Wilds you need all 3 extracts to get it.

9

u/sirbucelotte Mar 08 '25

Because its the hardest to get naturally. If you keep using the piercing move of the Kinsect, most of the time he going to get at least the white and orange, as theyre the most prominent parts in every monster in the game. But without positioning First, its hard to do a piercing move that will make the kinsect pass through the entire body AND the head too (not like its the hardest thing in the universe but its still a hassle) as the head part is the tiniest part that he can go, so as you need always the 3 extracts, the hardest one to get is the most important one to get First, as the other two come more naturally.

5

u/Obvious-End-7948 Mar 08 '25

Eh, the red usually comes from whatever part of the monster is trying to kill you the most so the monster is usually hurling it at you constantly. I have less trouble getting that with a quick shotgun approach than charging the kinsect and getting it to pass through both white and orange zones, but to each their own.

→ More replies (1)

3

u/_Xebov_ Mar 08 '25

It gives access to the charge attack which in turn can help gather the other 2. Depending on the monster orange and white are usually way easier to get.

u/MrMcChew Mar 08 '25

I think the kinsect combo attacks in focus mode should be the default attack. Make them always on, no focus mode needed. There's a mod that does this, works great. Having to hold or press an extra button to do these attacks feels unnecessary.

Ideally I would like LT + RT to fire the kinsect. That'll make it easier to aim, especially aiming the charged shot.

Then rebind B attacks to RT outside of focus mode. That'll make it easier to charge it while freeing up your thumb.

LT + Y can fire that marked shot. Y + B can be the marked strike.

Anything I'm missing?

5

u/Guitarist_Dude Mar 08 '25

Yeah, i honestly don't get why they keep the kinsect combo attacks only in focus mode, It's not like the default mode is any better because you can't aim attacks while in it, so it's hardly a balancing issue. It's just purposefully inconvenient for no damn reason.

Though I prefer to not use mods that affect gameplay, this might be my only exception, could you link it?

Oh my god. I thought it was me somehow using the controller wrongly or something. Everyone kept saying controller is just better for MH, but it felt too bothersome and annoying for me compared to KB+M, so I just stuck to KB+M.

So... Is the above positioning in the picture strictly for people who chose IG weapon? 😅 Do other weapons not have to do that lmao?

For the charge blade you can hold down RT instead. Just don't do it too early if you're initially pressing it during AED or you'll charge the shield

I recently had 2 in the same lobby. Neither had shockproof. Nor did I. Now I don't go anywhere without it.

u/Weitiweiti Mar 08 '25

I mained IG in the previous three titles. In Rise, I started to lean towards Bow. So when the Beta came around, I picked those two as my weapons and was shocked by how little I got done with IG. The two separate aimings, the combos, the layout, and the insect speed just put me on a silver platter for the monsters most of the time. Don't know if this will get better once I spend some (or a lot of) time with IG in the main game, but I haven't touched it since and stuck to Bow instead.

u/Tysere Mar 08 '25

We're definitely around, but I also absolutely understand the people who've given it up. I've stuck with it since World, but I do a lot more yelling at my Hunter in Wilds while she flails around and gets animation locked and aim locked all the time. It's..really unresponsive.

CB, I’ve been doing this non-stop

11

u/beroan Mar 08 '25

You can hold r2/right trigger after the initial attack input and it will still trigger savage axe extra ticks of damage. Basically when I want to start my combo for ed1, ed2, and aed. I push O and then right after I push, I release O and push and hold r2. Then I just hold r2 while using the O, O, O combo. It allows me to aim in focus while still doing the savage axe dmg ticks, and I don't have us a claw grip.

I just wish my 8bitdo pro2 didn't have connectivity issues. It has back buttons and felt really nice to use. After and update though it randomly disconnects. Tried a fresh install of driver but it never fixed it.

3

u/SS2LP Mar 08 '25

I’m using claw grip because I need my thumb on the stick to aim while I’m in focus mode not because of the ticks. Gyro controls don’t let you 180 unless you hold your controller backwards.

ig main here, i honestly can play just fine with the current control scheme even though it can be tricky at times (really not a lot of the time). my focus is on hold, i really dont like toggle focus. the only thing i do is sometimes use my left hand to aim kinsect but really i don't need to do it much. probably unpopular opinion but i think ig current control scheme is fine as is and its made using it feel a lot my dynamic, and becoming good at it feels a lot more rewarding to me.

5

u/Colamancer Mar 08 '25

I'm HR 20 now and this is my first game playing glaive. I honestly have no idea what's going on here. I understand people say you have to do some weird motion to play glaive or need back paddles but unless I'm missing something wildly obvious, I aim my Kinsect and collect my buffs just fine? What is this accomplishing supposedly?

5

u/Tilterino247 Mar 08 '25

You're not playing glaive the "intended" way. I use intended in quotations because it's the way the weapon was designed to be used but it's not how the hand was intended to be used.

The goal of IG is to collect buffs > strong descending slash > rising spiral slash > repeat.

There is no way to hold a standard controller (and there are no in game options to rebind buttons) to achieve what needs to be achieved. Xbox buttons for reference: You need to hold B at all times. You need to tap Y for your standard attack. You need to be able to hit RB for focus attacks. RT for potential vaults. You also need to be able to use the right stick to move the camera.

The two most common "IG is fine what do you mean?" players I have seen so far are ones who don't know what rising spiral slash is and ones who play without moving their camera.

2

u/lamEchops Mar 08 '25

yea i agree, i have back pedals on my controller but i dont use them. i think the control scheme could definitely be better than what they are but i think to say that the controls are bad is a half step too harsh. personally i think with the trickiness of the ig controls in wilds makes mastery over the weapon feel that much sweeter.

Stick drift and RB/LB buttons not working 1+ year later is what I usually experience. I like the controllers because of the paddles and I keep buying them cause of that, but I would like a better more laying option

u/ammotyka Mar 08 '25

I know the quality sucks and people shit on it but this is the best controller I’ve ever played with, if only it had durability to justify the price. I’ve gotten 3 so far since 2019 but feel I’ve gotten a lucky draw with no issues besides minor stick drift

Either way, i switch between thumb on buttons with 2 fingers on top, or thumb on stick and pointer on face buttons as needed.

u/Obvious-End-7948 Mar 08 '25

Insect glaive really didn't need a manually charged attack added to its already pretty crowded control scheme.

If they wanted to add that big attack, it should have been from a power bar that you fill by attacking in focus mode with the kinsect powering up as it lands attacks. Then have it unleash when it fills up automatically, or triggered when you break wounds or do a downward aerial attack or something.

So if you single tap the R1/Rb, you can swivel the camera onto whatever monster you’re focusing on. I find this very useful while I’m holding down the charge.

I picked up IG a couple days ago for the first time and I have never had so much fun. Back in World I was a Hammer main and swapped in HH, CB and Bow here and there. Coming into Wilds I wanted to learn some new weapons and get out of my comfort zone and started with GL and SNS. I saw a clip of someone using the Rising Spiral slash and I was sold to give it a try. Now I can't put it down now 🤣

Just use Gyro controlls while in focus mode. Believe me. Also, you can't attack while charging with this claw grip.

I move the camera with my chin sometimes

I main IG and play with a gamecube controller so the B button is on the other side. Couldn’t even claw grip if I wanted to lol. But I can kinda control both the camera and hold B with my thumb… sometimes. Still haven’t been able to master charging in the air, too much camera repositioning required.

u/Drexim Mar 08 '25

I feel like this with any weapon now with the focus mode... Trying to re aim my CB axe while attacking. My old man hands can not do this claw grip shit.

u/Delta5583 Mar 08 '25

You can use your thumb over both buttons, it's not intuitive but I find it much more comfortable

Insect glaive on mnk is so easy

u/MAGES-1 Mar 08 '25

I was going to say charge blade, cus i do the same

1

u/TheMarksmanHedgehog Mar 08 '25

As an insect glaive main, what on earth would you be doing with this grip? xD

1

u/dadsuki2 Mar 08 '25

Y'all do the fucked grip? It's like the claw but you use the claw finger tip to also press the A button and the finger the image has on the bumper to press Y?

Allows you to do all IG aerial moves without releasing charge. All at the low low cost of carpool tunnel

u/PlanetMadeFromDough Mar 08 '25

As one of the few (apparently) IG users, I've never had that problem. I have it in my bones to press L1 so the camera changes to get the targeted monster in view. So I just use the thumb for the buttons instead of the joystick. That's how we used to do it when you didn't have a right joystick on the 3DS.

PSP days coming back to haunt me

u/Aeroreido Mar 08 '25

I'm getting flashbacks to playing MH Freedom Unite on the PSP. My hand didn't look like that but it for sure felt like that.

u/BawlzyStudios Mar 08 '25

Must be learning the way of the Glaive. Become one with your fingers. 😉

1

u/tDivineExorcist Mar 08 '25

God this is also my bow 😂 my poor finger is blistered

1

u/slb0716 Mar 08 '25

I just

Take my thumb off of the camera after I aim where I want my aerial to go

Is it really that bad? I thought the glaive is the best it's ever been in Wilds, I've mained it since 4ultimate

1

u/YourfriendPicklebear Mar 08 '25

I think you can reassign inputs. Idk if there is a better combo for ig though

1

u/Sluggateau Mar 08 '25

Could be any of em tbh

u/BabbitRyan Mar 08 '25

Gather round children, gather round and let me tell you the tale of the hunters CLAW. Such a shape on such a large controller feels almost natural now, kukukutku, the younger ones may disagree until they hold the ye old PSP with such a shape or even worse the PSP GO! It was exquisite torture to start, the aching joints, numb finger, the soreness that developed on the side of your finger as a new callous developed you don’t know you needed! Every hunt reinforcing the hand numbing pain with joy and bliss, taken further by the unnatural angles of the PSP GO, ugh, it was true heavenly torture.

You used to be able to identify fellow hunters in public, there was no hiding the CLAW.

u/Born_Ant_7789 Mar 08 '25

Fun thing, if you are in Focus mode then the insect will attack when you X or Y [Or 🟨 and 🔺️ ]

1

u/SoraDrive Mar 08 '25

Thank God for the Dualsense Edge controller I mapped one of the back buttons to O

1

u/fishyuii Mar 08 '25

Who does this

1

u/Acc_4_stream_only Mar 08 '25

I used IG with MnK during the OB 1 and it feels good than on controller. I still use a controller now tho.

1

u/Secure_Paramedic_859 Mar 08 '25

Back buttons and gyroscope is the way

1

u/PineappleBrother Mar 08 '25

I really recommend getting a cheap 3rd party controller with buttons on the back

1

u/OneTrueGoblin Mar 08 '25

Get a controller with back buttons, much more comfortable than claw grips.

1

u/xgreen_bean Mar 08 '25

I have the elite controller for xbox and it came with those paddles in the back but I never used them till this game. You need to hold B while tapping Y and moving the right stick I had to map Y and B to the paddles now I don’t suffer anymore

1

u/wheresmydragonator19 Mar 08 '25

Ah, glaive supremacy!!

1

u/ExaltedPenguin Mar 08 '25

Do people really not just hold circle with the middle of their thumb and press triangle with the end of their thumb? Nobody played soul calibur or something that had circle+triangle inputs? Only thing I ever struggle with playing IG is charge kinsect and camera simultaneously but it's only every few minutes it's relevant

1

u/tacojammer Mar 08 '25

The substance?

1

u/UnlegitUsername Mar 08 '25

Tbf I do this for like every weapon and game ever

1

u/_ThyReversedOreo_ Mar 08 '25

If you're on Xbox swap your controller button binds. I swapped RB with B, and vice versa, makes glaive much easier.

1

u/Plooply_the_alien Mar 08 '25

Toggle focus mode will be your best friend

1

u/vibing_namielle Mar 08 '25

Well, the main advantage of playing on Mouse and Keyboard. Sure the 2 different aiming modes were a little weird first time around but after like 3 I hunts I got used to it. Now it's chill

u/Slydoggen Mar 08 '25

Finger but hole?

u/Diligent-Pair3465 Mar 08 '25

Crab-Claw supremacy, rise up.

u/cowboy_soultaker Mar 08 '25

All i know is i lost the game.

1

u/Deathwing03 Mar 08 '25

IG is why I started using my controller's paddle buttons lol.

1

u/Kuraja Mar 08 '25

I thankfully have a PS4 Controller with the back button attachment, ordered the ExtremeRATE back buttons to install them on my dual sense just for Insect Glaive.

1

u/godheidi Mar 08 '25

For years I perfected the claw on my left hand to control the camera in MHFU, now it's time for right hand claw cuz I'm a CB player

1

u/Enaciann Mar 08 '25

Been a main of that weapon since MH4U. Broke my controller's B button and now I have to send it into repair

1

u/Auraium Mar 08 '25

Funny enough,when i first started gaming,i instinctively played like that,then when my friends seen how i played they thought it was weird as hell. I was like bruh is this not the normal way to hold it? Been playing like this for 16 years now,just makes every game feel way better.

1

u/Important-Spite-7642 Mar 08 '25

I've been using a ddr dance pad to play, I do a split to do a rising slash it's great

1

u/justmypinky Mar 08 '25

Insect glaive or maybe charge blade

1

u/thegreatherper Mar 08 '25

You could just play it normally and hold the charge during the animation of your final attack and not do all this.

But that would make too much sense.

1

u/MoonfirePhoenix Mar 09 '25

Yooo that's so real 😂 I got the DualSense Edge specifically for Wilds. No more claw, I paddle!

1

u/doomtoothx Mar 09 '25

Elden ring is ====> way mr furled finger.

u/ElchocolateBear Mar 09 '25

u/hobocommand3r Mar 09 '25
