The True Fatalis Dyaus arrived with the Final Free Update for MHW: Iceborne and has instantly usurped the Lightbreak Press as the best all-purpose Insect Glaive.

With an amazingly high base attack of 1101, the raw damage from the True Fatalis Dyaus alone is enough to outperform almost all Insect Glaives in their own elements - making it THE Insect Glaive for end-game hunters if built around correctly.
