·Multi-source verified (125/125)

For Insect Glaive users, the Kinsect is an integral part of their weapon. Kinsects are small, insect-like creatures that fly out and extract 'extracts' from monsters. Red extract boosts attack, White extract boosts movement speed, and Orange extract boosts defense. Collecting all three (Triple Up) grants significant buffs. Kinsects can be upgraded at the Smithy, improving their attack, speed, and healing capabilities. Different Kinsects also have different elemental properties and dust effects (e.g., poison dust, blast dust), adding another layer of customization to the Insect Glaive playstyle.
