Things to keep in mind about this video:
The reason as to why in some parts of the video my character is male and female in others is because I recorded some clips and wrote the script before the Update that gave us the voucher to swap genders.
This video was originally 1:32:00 but due to hardware limitations I had to cut it down (apparently I can only make videos shorter than 1 hour). That being said, not much was left out: it was mostly me giving practical examples and exercises on how you can become a better insect glaive player but I think the tutorial already explains things pretty clearly so there isn't much need for that. If you have any questions feel free to ask :)
I also cut a part where I suggested the Xenojiiva set because it grants Razor Sharp (which halves sharpness loss) and also grants Power Prolonger Lv3 (which increases the duration of your buffs by 30%), on top of also giving you Blight Resistance Lv3 which makes you immune to all blights (giving you fewer things to worry about).
I would also recommend the skills Jump Master (which prevents attacks from knocking you back during a jump) and Airborne (which increases the damage of attacks performed in the air by 10%) if you are a fan of Aerial combat.

Thank you so much for watching this video. I spent a ton of time making it and I'm planning on making this a regular series on the channel so let me know which weapon you would like me to cover next in the comment section below.
