First introduced in Monster Hunter 4 back in September 2013 , insect glaives were an interesting addition as it utilised an insect or ‘kinsect’ to dish out some attacks and collect essence upon returning.

It is a double-ended rod that can perform quick and fluid attacks.

Moving on we have the charge blade. Making its entry into Monster Hunter 4 as well in 2013, this weapon has a sword mode and axe mode.

Both of these weapons while old are still fun to use with mechanics such as the wirebug moves in Monster Hunter Rise. Its been more than 10 years since the last weapon introduction and fans can agree that they would want something refreshing in the weapon variety in future Monster Hunter games.
