fantastic video, everything was super useful and well organized! though something i would recommend is lowering the background music a bit so that it doesn't overwhelm your voice
I am legally only allowed to play switch axe but let me take this moment to thank people like you who help us idiots to understand the game and our weapons better, doing the math and doing the deed to let us all enjoy killing big cats and birds ❤
glad to hear that. A lot of the other melee weapons use similar templates but have some other core skills. Lance wants guard and offensive guard while for example hammer likes charge master and focus instead. or switch axe which wants rapid morph and wirebug or wind mantle
Thank you for making this guide. Your lance builds help me a lot. Question/s: With the MoH3-Strife3-Dere Build, is it better to put AB4 than maxing out Burst and Element Exploit? (My build has 2 spare Level 4 slots); Also, is maxing out Dereliction good? Thank you.
AB4 is probably the most consistent. Maxing out element exploit is good if you can consistently hit the weakspots and depending on the elemental hzvs be stronger than AB4. Maxing burst isn't that high priority anymore since it's flat stats and with all the augments and skills we have %boosts are a lot stronger. So it doesn't really matter what you choose I think. On monsters with high ehzv that you can easily focus elewex3 burst3 is better on others AB4. and the difference is probably not big enough so that you would want to swap depending on MU
maxing dereliction is usually not that great since the archfiend arms are pretty bad. and if you got a dereliction charm you rather use more efficient legs pieces like the risen kaiser, risen valstrax, risen shagaru or velkhana legs instead of the archfiend ones
@@J9_MH Thank you so much for answering my questions. Looking forward to your future guides and speedruns. Have a great day and know your hardwork for the 3% gang is highly appreciated. Thank you, Sir J9_MH 😀
Hi! In your Raw kaktus heaven Sent build you use flawless jewels, but you dont list Peak Performance as a skill.. Am i missing something? Your build is great by the way, im having so much fun farming the armor sets and decos!
Do you have any build advice for someone in early Master Rank and wants to get into the poke stick? I usually main Dual Blades but got a bit bored of them and want to try something new.
Thanks for the guide. On the raw builds you are maxing buildup boost before powder mantle, is that because it's just better? Lance procs powder mantle pretty fast so I was wondering why that is. Additional levels of buildup boost above 1 give about 1.5% damage per level but I dont know how much damage levels 1 2 3 of powder mantle give. Can you explain? Thanks.
sure. so calculating powder mantle damage is pretty hard since 1) it depends on if you always get blue powder or if you get hit and proc the orange powder explosion and 2) the time it takes to stack depends on how often you hit. At lvl 1 powder mantle is around a 5% damage increase. and that's really good 👍 funnily enough the gap between build up boost and powder mantle starts to grow in favour of bub the more you attack. Why? Because there's always the 20 seconds it takes for the powder to turn blue. so no matter how fast you attack to stack it the extra damage from bub during those 20 seconds makes up for it. so to give you an idea bub2 pm1 performs equal to bub1 pm2 if you do one hit every 10 seconds. if you attack faster than that bub starts out damaging. and you don't have to play insanely good to get 1 hit every 10 seconds. I's say for the average player pm1 to 2 is around a 1% damage increase In any case the difference in damage is gonna be very small in practice. bub makes funny big numbers tho :)
I don't think it's mandatory but it's still worth to include. I mean you can use insta-block for everything, but there's moments where you either miss the timing or using the guard dash/shield tackle is just the better option. And to comfortably use guard dash/shield tackle/shield charge/spiral thrust you need some levels of guard.
There is no TU6. Capcom said so and Primordial was supposed to be in TU5 with Amatsu as the last boss. I know people will say this is semantics but Capcom spelled it out clearly in their stream and so people are still on copium with "TU6" Anyway good video.
@@J9_MH Yeah they said that Amatsu is supposed to be the last boss and that Primordial was meant to be with TU5 originally but they held it back so its extra "special". Not that it matters since I'm on console and have to wait until late August.
cause only 15 out of like 70 monsters have attacks that need guard up. most of these monsters have very telegraphed attacks. There's nova's which have very big startups so you can just sheathe and dodge them or sometimes even completely avoid them by attacking them more since the monsters only do them if you don't hit them enough. Then the rest of the guard up moves usually can be recognized very early and can therefore be easily dodged by using sheathing retreat. either getting out of the way by using it early or by iframing it with the correct time. And the last reason is the skill itself. It's no longer 1 skill point block every unblockable move like it was in world. it's 3 skills and you still take damage. and on most endgame monsters anything less than 3 still pretty much deletes your entire healthbar. so by sehathing retreating you don't need to fit any skills and you will take 0 damage. there are some gas attacks like somna sleep gas where guard up can be good. usually lvl 1 is enough for them since they don't do damage. but somna isn't a monster you really fight in the endgame is it? also in sunbreak there's a bunch of true unblockables like flaming espinas nova that even with guard up you can't block
yeah it is. but I know a lot of people play multiplayer so I want the builds to work for them as well. If you only play solo you can indeed just replace all the guard with embolden and be slightly more slot efficient
Hey, i hope you see this... I am tryig to build your raw heaven sent Set wit bazel Lance, but i dont see how you get it to purple sharpness. Nothing i see indicates handicraft... Please help me, im loosing sleep over this haha
Are you sure you don't need to recover the health to proc the skill, when I was trying it, it never popped up when I was full health attacking broken parts, only until I swapped to Bersker lvl 1 was I see the skill pop up over and over
Crazy informative video! Thanks so much! I'm a returning player wrapping up sunbreak now so this helped a ton for my builds
Thanks for taking the time to convert everything to a website! So much easier to scroll things especially when on mobile
glad you like it 👍
Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos and especially thank you for this final update.
Those type of guides keep motivating me playing this game. Thanks !
fantastic video, everything was super useful and well organized!
though something i would recommend is lowering the background music a bit so that it doesn't overwhelm your voice
thanks a lot!. I'll keep that in mind for my next video
Thanks for the sets! Every lance player should learn from you

Amazing vid! Gives me inspiration for building sets even tho I am ain't a Lance main

Where have you been all my life?

Thank bro, 3% player let's go xD
Unfortunately for me my anomaly level isn’t high enough to get the attack4 and offensive guard4 decorations.
Great guide 👍🏽
Very good guide
So I did the Masters Set and I didn't get to your damage numbers. Can you show me the set you used agains the Rajang pls?

@@J9_MH Makes sense, so buildup boost is just more consistent so it ends up being better. Thanks!
Music too loud.
Is guard 3 actually worth it? I see some videos saying guard is completely optional, whereas others act like it's mandatory.
I don't think it's mandatory but it's still worth to include. I mean you can use insta-block for everything, but there's moments where you either miss the timing or using the guard dash/shield tackle is just the better option.

@@J9_MH Alright! thanks for the advice.

oh I didn't watch the stream 🤭
@@J9_MH Yeah they said that Amatsu is supposed to be the last boss and that Primordial was meant to be with TU5 originally but they held it back so its extra "special". Not that it matters since I'm on console and have to wait until late August.
For the weapon augments what do the red boxes and green boxes mean?
red is attack, green is status and orange is element. same colours as in-game
Why no guard up on any set?
cause only 15 out of like 70 monsters have attacks that need guard up. most of these monsters have very telegraphed attacks. There's nova's which have very big startups so you can just sheathe and dodge them or sometimes even completely avoid them by attacking them more since the monsters only do them if you don't hit them enough.

there are some gas attacks like somna sleep gas where guard up can be good. usually lvl 1 is enough for them since they don't do damage. but somna isn't a monster you really fight in the endgame is it?
also in sunbreak there's a bunch of true unblockables like flaming espinas nova that even with guard up you can't block
In the website for builds. Why is embolden not used? Isnt it better than using guard 3 since embolden 3 gives guard 5 and evade window
yeah it is. but I know a lot of people play multiplayer so I want the builds to work for them as well. If you only play solo you can indeed just replace all the guard with embolden and be slightly more slot efficient
Oooh now I get why. Thanks for clarifying
blood awakening and dereliction sharing the same armor parts is such a bummer.
so does Heaven-Sent 😭
Hi the pictures in your website guide doesn't seem to be working anymore. At least in my end
yeah you are right, I fixed the important ones for now
@@J9_MH Thanks for the quick fix!
As a new lance user i thank you for making this
Hey, i hope you see this... I am tryig to build your raw heaven sent Set wit bazel Lance, but i dont see how you get it to purple sharpness. Nothing i see indicates handicraft... Please help me, im loosing sleep over this haha
you need to unlock all the augment slots on your weapon. You will get extra raw and sharpness
Ohhh Thanks, @@J9_MH, its awsome that you answerd :)
Are you sure you don't need to recover the health to proc the skill, when I was trying it, it never popped up when I was full health attacking broken parts, only until I swapped to Bersker lvl 1 was I see the skill pop up over and over
yes I tested it against multiple monsters
Do you have a Discord Server??
no but I am very active in the lance channel on the Gathering Hall Discord server if you got any questions
