Some extra notes i consider important for new lancers:
*During charge attack:*
*->* You can stop the charge and go directly into the block, by pressing the block button.
*->* press forward+dodge button to jump without a ledge (great for getting mounts)
*Animation cancels* (there are some things you *can't* do directly after you performed an attack):
*->* Learn to use the clutch claw counter via counter thrust + left trigger (aka. slinger button), since unlike the other option (left trigger +high thrust button) this one can be used directly after you performed an attack
*->* The normal block cant be used right after an attack, but all your counters can. You do *not* need to wait for your character to actually start blocking in order to use a counter.
*->* Pretty much everything elses (outside of these 2 and the wide sweep attack) in lances kit can be used as an animation cancel after any attack and as a reset, to reset your triple poke combo. Do note however that "resets" that perform a lance attack usally count as the first hit of your triple poke combo.
*Mobility options:*
*->* Lance pretty much has no mobility option when it comes to dodging, you have to use the counters.
*->* Lance's mobility when it comes to disengaging is also not great. Best option you have is a long back hop (backwards+dodge, *wich can only be done after you performed an attack* ) followd by a normal back hop, followed by another long back hop
*->* Combined with slow sheathing speed and lance can have some major troubles when it comes to safety. My best advice here is: Try to use clutch claw counter and then press the dodge button to let go of the monster if you want to sheath the weapon, but the monster wont stop attacking you.
*->* Lance has amazing aggressive mobility options though. Charge and clutch claw counter for engage and guard advance/guard dash (by pressing block + direction + forward thrust) +leaping thrust (by pressing high thrust) or hops (by pressing the direction + dodge button) for repositioning.
*Counters (only as a rule of thumb, there are many exceptions)*
*->* In general: you want to spent as much time hitting and as little time blocking as possible. Time your counters and offensive guard is a must have
*->* Counter thrust is the only counter you can do after countering something=good for monster combo attacks like zinogres quadruple paw slam
->Power guard is the only counter that doesnt activate automatically after being hit and its stamina depletion actually stops when being hit = good for multi hit attacks (any monster attack that does multiple ticks of dammage)
*->* Gurad advance gets extra gurad levels=good for power full single hit attacks
*->* Clutch claw counter doesnt work against elemental attacks. It has a really long animation but also zooms you all the way to the monster= good for any monster attack where the monster ends up far away from you (like charge attacks)
*->* Normal block is (almost) never your best option
*health augemt is a must have* = no more sheathing, non stop attacking
This is far from everything. Tried to make the inputs understandable regardless of controller choice. Also as a side note amongst the older community there is a realitivly large overlap between SnS and Lance players, so if you like one of these two weapons the other one might be worth checking out.
great additional tips, thanks for taking the time to post this! I'm yet to get any health augment on this character... 😩
@@LightItUpDan yeah. If i remember corectly its tempered namielle that unlocks it, so its really late in the game. But for lance its a real game changer, especially when you dont have to worry about sharpness, since you can out heal all chip damage as long as you play aggressivly. I remember there was a video of a lance player countering both wind pressure waves of master rank lunastras super nova and surviving the whole thing by just non stop attacking the head.
yeah, tempered Namielle from Guiding Lands, amongst other mats, so it's a bit of a slog to get hence why I've not pursued it too much haha
@@zawardo5909one thing I would like to emphasize is guard dash. For me guard dash is what makes lance a very mobile. It is an excellent move for positioning as you can also use it sideways or backwards. It can also be used for multi attacks when youre attacking and dont have time to use power guard. Its a very solid move that made me like lance and put it out of the category as slow/heavy weapon.
health augment is not available for my light break lance @@LightItUpDan
Love the Lance! I picked it up a few months ago and I really like it. The defense is awesome but I also like keeping the heat on the monsters, never giving them a second to breathe. And I agree about the Guild Palace Lance, it looks like the weapon of a celebrated, heroic knight. It's also wild how easy it feels to break parts with it. Tails just fall right off! With other weapons, I feel like I have to try harder, with Lance it feels like an accident. Oops, there goes your tail! I also feel like it's a big departure from other weapons with its own movement style and rhythm. That's one of the amazing things about this game: the depth of gameplay and the fact that each weapon feels wholly unique. I'm stoked for Wilds but World is so good I don't mind the wait at all. Thanks for another excellent video, Dan!
100%! Lance definitely feels like its own space within the game, I totally agree with you! Appreciate you as always mate! ❤
Same dude same 😊😊
Lance is the least used weapon, I think it's because until you get the hang of it seems clunky. Also it doesn't seem very flashy when watching guides or videos of it, which i think filters people over to the gunlance. But once you get into it, I think it's maybe the most satisfying and straight up badass weapon in the game.
I feel like such a Chad, fearlessly running straight at monsters that earlier on I was terrified of 😂
So cool haha
@@jayr7965 totally agree, it's very often misconstrued, I also often hear "I tried it but it's boring" - ain't no way it's boring if you're using its moveset fully
@@LightItUpDan It being "boring" is the appeal to me. It's just really clean and efficient.
Lance does not need a ledge to mount. You can jump when charging, and the poke afterward will deal mount damage. It seems better than IG
I just picked up lance today and managed to tank tempered furious rajang for the team. Despite all the 'hate' it receives from the internet, I felt powerful and valued, able to block and shrug off all the super saiyan monkey's attacks including the aerial lightning spit, while the team hid behind me any time they needed a breather.
Lance gets hate? I’ve only ever heard it receive praise in my circles!
I picked up lance yesterday, managed to put on a meta build found online. I was a charge blade main, but oh my God the lance is something else. I can finally focus on the monster instead of focusing on building some phials and meters to unlock some hidden weapon potential, and the fun thing is, its a fucking meme weapon. The monsters are always staggered or down, they can do nothing against it and I do actually feel a bit bad XD, plus idk why but even doing less damage than the charge blade i manage to melt monsters way faster. And it has some sick moves, mainly the clutch claw counter. All things said, i still have no idea on how to parry beam attacks like the Velkana and shara ones, and the dodge is very limited even with level 5 evasion.
i am pretty new to the monster hunter games, my very first weapon was Lance. i started playing hyper aggressive because i could. when i switched to other weapons i died so much because i was still playing as hyper aggressive xD lance is and i think will always be my main.
Welcome to MH! Haha yeah I can see that happen when you base the game off Lance to start with Such a great weapon!
iirc, lance has a reduce multiplier for elemental damage for some reason, so it will deal less elemental damage then it should
I love lance. the way you can basically ignore the monsters attack by guarding and keep up the aggression. seriously, it feels really good when you get into the flow of guarding every monster's attack and keep poking to submission. clutch claw counter feels SO good to pull off, one of the most satisfying move in the game. lance is really REALLY good for partbreak, since it has low damage per hit and it's really accurate. high thrust makes it pretty easy to reach high monster parts. I usually make it an extra goal to break all the monster's part when hunting, and most of the time I CAN break all the parts
oh really? that’s interesting, I’ll have to do some research on it. it’s so great for part breaks, tails flying off every hunt! 😤
I'm in that second camp, looking for a new weapon and I think I will give lance a shot. I love HH to death but I'm stalling out really hard and i just don't enjoy the song list mechanic like I used to. I've done a couple hunts with heavy bowgun and I think I'll try lance next. I like how both these weapons seem very dynamic to play. You still have things to do when the monster is down, asleep, or paralyzed, good damage output, and defensive options available.
Lance has you constantly engaged in the hunt, it’s really such an awesome weapon
It's the first weapon that I got good at and I'm thinking of going back to it
Very cool, what else do you play?
Lance is my favorite weapon which surely was a surprise to me, started with swaxe, tries LS, GS, but the second I tried lance it felt so right
it's one of those weapons that probably doesn't look fun when you've watched it, but actually playing it is SO damn fun 😄
Been loving this weapon a lot. I main it along with hunting horn and light bowgun. One huge tip I have for lance is that the speed of your counter thrust actually depends on your level of Guard! As it increases, there’s less of a delay before you actually recover from the attack and launch the counter thrust.
that's SUPER good knowledge, thanks for sharing that!
Always funny to see someome who mains the only 3 weapons I almost never touch 😂, just goes to show that there's really something for everyone in this game
@@ScentSenseyeah, i played hammer a lot before horn. i wanted to get used to the feel of the blunt weapons and their delayed attacks. i also decided to pick up lbg because i think everyone should main at least one weapon of every damage type (blunt, sharp, ranged) so they can get a feel for the different playstyles. what do you main?
I have 2500 Lance Kills, and I've NEVER noticed that
I used to be a bow player, then I took a nergigante to the face. I love the lance, I try to be a source of CC for the party smashing monsters against walls and mounting them using rhe junp while in charge. Don't know if anyone else do this, but i try to glich the charge while the monsters are down for a tone of dps in the tender parts
Lance - the great converter 😤
Are you me ?
Lol! Also how do you glitch it
@@Darfail just try to run towards the belly of the monster when they fall
@lianwolf694 right. That's awesome when it works. Loving my new mr pukei lance. Gonna take on glavenus with it
Im brand new to the series as of a couple weeks ago. Started with the IG, went to Hammer then lance. Lance just felt so right! Thanks for the great guide
All great choices! Hammer is one of my faves welcome to MHW and to the channel!
i picked it up today, i main switch axe and its a big change of playstyle that i need to get used to
very cool, it’s a blast!
Well, time to try out the lance. Its one of the only weapons I never touched, but I really wanna play around with it. Got some Safi lances ready to try and see how it feels.
yessss let me know what you think of it
@@LightItUpDan Its different from my normal play style of dodging, yet I can get used it. Im liking it even without a proper build for it.
Truly a gentleman's weapon 🍷🗿
Poking with sophistication 🧐
I used the Lance to hunt almost all monster on Icborn except Velkhana, I had to use Lance little brother SnS
I love taking Lance to Velkhana, although AT Velk's going to need something with more mobility I reckon haha 💀
As a Lance user I love the idea of the Lance, I love that you mentioned the boxer. But I do feel like the Lance need to use it's shield more to be more like a boxer
It’s more the exchanging of blows and stay head to head!
@@LightItUpDan Yeah, blocking the attacks with your shield and then attacking back with the Lance.
I personally would love more shield attacks. For example, adding a shield attack to the Dash Attack as an option and improving some, like the shield attack when guarding and Guard Dash. For example, when performing a Guard and guard dash, you can do a short dash shield bash uppercut that is close to what you do in focus mode.
I don't want to take or change anything from the Lance attacks or Thrusts give more options for the Lance
@@czairkolmoslink5952 It's looking that way for Wilds, lots of shield usage!
@@LightItUpDanit mostly does, I really do love what the team has done and feel grateful for it. Just feels like it's missing one thing. But we’ll see when it hits the final version
I've been a LS user but I've been wanting to try someone new and unique m I'm excited to try the Lance
Lance is dope as hell!
You may get drunk on power. I still am with 2500+ hunts with it
@@Warpded how can I say no to such temptations...any tips going into a NG in Iceborne with it?
@MHSenju3000 Never sheathe, always remember you are the fastest hunter with your charge, tenderizing is insanely easy, never back down unless death is guaranteed, and lastly, and get used to using your guard moves to reposition. You won't be running or dodging. Just a few tips.
I'm onto using Lance to solo Fatalis. Thank you again!
very nice!
The only reason why I pick up the Lance is because of Rajang
Hahaha
Hunting that monkey using my CB or LS was so much harder for me
But when I use the Lance
It became a rhythm game
And I love it
Nice! I actually didn't like Lance as a match up vs Rajang, I didn't feel I could respond quickly enough to its barrage of attacks! Absolutely LOVE taking Hammer against him though, completely dominate the fight hehe
It's my favorite weapon for soloing difficult monsters
I usually solo and have always used a variety of weapon types but lance is probably my favorite
gotcha, yeah it’s a great choice when playing solo! one of my favourite weapons for sure
@@LightItUpDan thanks for all the great videos, definitely learned a lot new stuff even tho I've played for so long
you’re very welcome mate, that’s awesome to hear!
on effectiveness lance probably has the best kill death ratio of any weapon but most players like style they wanna feel cool and thats where lance falls behind it has no flashy moves or big hits
clutch counter can be pretty cool! 😤
As always, ultimate video ultimate quality of material!
Could you suggest some armour sets to go through Iceborne and endgame?
appreciate you! when you're just starting out into Iceborne, if any of the festival armors (astral, oolong, rose etc.) are available, they're going to REALLY set you up for a good while! as for end game, so many amazing choices and you'll likely constantly be updating/switching. raging brachy, alatreon, velkhana gamma, fatalis
@@LightItUpDan thank you!!!
man i was joking about pulling up with the hr barroth lance to the 50 shades of white quest but after taking 40 fucking minutes to kill it with a chrome drill 2 i now know that even as a joke that is something that is physically impossible so it didnt even make any sense
Out here torturing yourself haha
I have a few questions about the guard and power guard count attack. When you go into power guard, do you wait until a hit connects with you then press circle? Or do you press circle in the stance and you are protected?
you go into power guard in advance
I prefer using max Sheath for mobility. Hopping around like a armored bunny isn't going to save you from Kulves molten breath or any massive AOE equivalent to that. Combining Sheath and evade Extender is the ultimate combo.
Yeah they’re both really nice on lance for sure!
Lance supremacy
As i tell the Wyverns and elders. " I'm gonna be on you like shit on velcro."
gross - 10/10
Shit on velcro. That's a new one to me
Is this relevant to the Iceborne expac or only the base game?
Everything I make is relevant to IB
Lance gud
yis
I have tried the lance multiple times and I hate it. I know its a good weapon. I just hate it, give me back my gunlance.
Fair enough mate, kudos for trying it out! Gunlance is super fun
@@LightItUpDan been my baby sense monster hunter freedom 2
I love it when i get knocked over by another player every second
Take 1 flinch free?
I'm a CB main, but I branch out to several weapons, including lance. I have a hyper-defensive build for lance that is a blast to play (no pun, I use Safi para lance).
Awesome! I'm Hammer main but play a bit of this and that myself
