Insect Glaive vs Fatalis Guide

Описание: Timestamps for phases/moves below.

Had several hours of recordings, decided to compile some clips to go over the main points of this matchup. Not super comprehensive and lacks some of the more advanced details, but hopefully it's still helpful. May add more detailed text notes about sequences/positioning micro/AI in the future.

Important thing to note is that this guide does not teach you the weapon + matchup from nothing; basic understanding of IG's moveset is assumed. If you want a quick video that covers the core of IG, check out this video (there's a part 2 as well):    • insect glaive for dummies  . While my guide does go over the key moves Fatty does, it's mainly in the context of how to react to and punish them. If you want a good video that focuses solely on his moveset, check out this guide by Kimmi:    • Fatalis Moveset Guide [MHW:IB]  

If you can't perform the recall kinsect animation cancel, the same DT punishes still apply. You'll either be doing less damage or you can just recall the kinsect well ahead of time while you're baiting cones/looking for the next opening. If you want to learn the animation cancel (highly recommended), check out Khalid's video:    • MHW Insect Glaive guide: call back vault t...
