User blog comment:Kogath/Poll: MH4U is heading to NA/EU! Which new weapon type are you most excited about?/@comment-6974847-20140224024252

As a previous Dual Blade user, I love fast and agile weapons that let you evade, and move around easily. When I got my hands on an Insect Rod, I loved it instantly. Pole vaulting lets you mount easily, and I abuse that, it also lets you evade attacks ( Tigrex charge, Gravios beam, fireballs, ect. ) and it does decent damage. The insect is amazing, low grade earplugs when you got all boost, nice ranged attack, and can be use to set off bombs. The fluid attacks can be a pain, you can't stop in the middle of a combo, waking up monsters often, and you can get hit easier. My advice on insect rod is to grab red boost, so you combo more, and hack away.

Charge axe is great for Darran and slow moving monsters. The Sword mode is better than Sword and Shield, combos are easier, and Axe mode can dish out crap loads of damage. Axe has impressive combos and is a great KO weapon if someone else has a Hunting Horn, Hammer, or Charge axe ( Solo with hammer felynes). My tip for Charge axe is not to get to cocky with the final charge swing, fast monsters can evade it easily and leaves you wasting a phial. If you prefer Axe mode, charge up with all phials, and get them to be red, so you can recharge easily.

Wow, this could be an essay!

Nar-ga-cuga!
