Insect Glaive Silkbind Attacks
Here are the details for the new Silkbind Attacks of Insect Glaive Hunters:
Silkbind Attack | Silkbind Attack Description |
---|---|
Silkbind Vault | Silkbind Vault is one of the special attacks that the Insect Glaive offers. Using the attack propels the hunter forward and rotates his body. The hunter can connect one of three follow up commands. While two of these are offensive moves, one can be used to get out of harm’s way. |
Recall Kinsect | The Insect Glaive also comes with Recall Kinsect, another Silkbind Attack that, as the name implies, returns the Kinsect to the owner when evading. Taking back the Kinsect dispenses heals and refills the stamina. When timed right, you can skip recovery time to dish out more attacks. |
Diving Wyvern | Calls back your Kinsect while dodging. As it returns, it will perform spinning attacks that scatter healing extracts. Its stamina will fully recover once it gets back to its master. |
