Insect Lancer

Monks of the Way of the Kinsect Glaive are agile aerial warriors who have bonded with a mystical insect companion called a Kinsect. They wield a polearm infused with primal energy, allowing them to leap great distances, fight mid-air, and send their Kinsect to gather elemental essences from foes.

Where others are grounded, they dance through the sky — fluid, unpredictable, and deadly.
