Spineglider Overview

Spineglider

Attribute		Water
Physical Weakness	Pummel	Elemental Weakness	Wood Fire
Strategy
The spineglider will create footholds for itself so it can swoop down to attack. If you can destroy those footholds while it's climbing, you can throw it off balance and bring it crashing down ready for you to attack. When angered, the kemono's tail swells up for a particularly grim attack, but at the same time, the swollen tail is weak and vulnerable to attack, which offers you a chance to strike.

How to Beat Spineglider

Spineglider Tips and Strategies
Target the Spineglider's Body and Tail Stay Mobile During the Fight Break the Spineglider's Footholds Utilize the Torch and Pounder Karakuri

Target the Spineglider's Body and Tail

Wild Hearts - Target the Spineglider
The Spineglider's weakest part is its body, so prioritize dealing damage to this area as often as possible, especially after knocking it down. We also recommend targeting its tail when enraged, as it becomes more vulnerable to damage while in this state.

Stay Mobile During the Fight

Wild Hearts - Stay Mobile During the Fight (Spineglider)
The Spineglider is a distinctly agile kemono, having plenty of fast moves and follow-up attacks. We recommend sticking to quick attacks while staying mobile throughout the fight and only using slow moves and long combos during large openings.

Break the Spineglider's Footholds

Wild Hearts - Break the Spineglider
The Spineglider has a special attack where it projects fluids out of its tail to conjure stone spires, which it can use as footholds to launch heavy-hitting moves from above. We recommend breaking these footholds as soon as possible to prevent the Spineglider from taking advantage of them.

In addition, breaking these stone spires as the Spineglider climbs them staggers the kemono momentarily, leaving it open to easy damage.

Utilize the Torch and Pounder Karakuri

Wild Hearts - Utilize the Torch and Pounder Karakuri
When hunting the Spineglider, we recommend heavy usage of the Torch and Pounder Karakuri.

The Torch Karakuri imbues your weapons with Fire, one of the Spineglider's elemental weaknesses, making it easier to deal with the kemono.
The Pounder Karakuri, created by stacking three Spring Karakuri, instantly destroys the Spineglider's footholds while dealing heavy damage on hit.

Expanded Tail Bounce

Expanded Tail Bounce Attack Information
Expanded Tail Bounce: While enraged, the Spineglider can fill its tail with fluid, transforming it into a massive ball-like shape. The kemono then begins bouncing on its tail numerous times while moving toward the hunter, attempting to crush them beneath it. This attack can cover plenty of distance and deals massive damage on hit, so we recommend using a Spring Karakuri or evading away from each bounce right before it lands to avoid getting hit.
