Best Kinsects

Best Early Game Kinsects

Gullshad Icon Gullshad Windchopper Icon Windchopper

The player will be able to nurture Kinsects after defeating Rey Dau in Chapter 2. It is highly recommended to go for the Kinsects with better speed, Gullshad and Windchopper. Higher speed allows Kinsects to reach their target faster, making extracting and delivering buffs faster.

Best Late Game Kinsects

Fiddlebrix Icon Fiddlebrix Arkmaiden Icon Arkmaiden

Once the player can nurture rarity 4 Kinsects, it is recommended to go for Arkmaiden or Fiddlebrix. These Kinsects both have Kinsect Boost: Harvest Extract, which increases the number of buffs a Kinsect can hold at a time. This allows the player to extract buffs more efficiently, as the Kinsect will not need to keep going back and forth between the player and the monster.
