don't forget: almost any heavy attack can be dodge cancelled for earlier control of Lana. example: when Lana summons Manhandela, she will get knocked down. dodge cancel out of it when it is summoned and you will be able to attack much earlier than normal. this goes for combo enders as well. as long as there is a summon, they wil continue their attack even when cancelled out of
thank you. Had no idea how to use this weapon, and was really struggling with the tier 3 weapon mission since I was spamming the standard attack like a scrub
I feel like if the boss powers remained until you use a combo attack, it would have been FAR more effective, it would be like Sheik's combo effects but in reverse. In my opinion, what holds this weapon back aside from its incredibly slow speed, is that the icons only remain for a brief period of time.
My favorite weapon in HW...or any musou game! Best w/ Hasty Attacks, but still great w/o it. Some tips in addition to what was said here... The C1 on its own is very good, like he said... Every one of them will stop enemies in front of you in their tracks in some way plus do good damage, so it should always be your first response when foes are getting too close, to give you a chance to fall back. You could probably spam C1 and nothing else and win a lot of battles. If you get the Manhandla C1 and enemy captains or (even better) a downed boss is in it, I like to use my special. This traps them in the field taking more damage over time while the special winds up. And melts boss WPG. I don't like the enhanced C2, but all the rest are good. Basically, I spam C1 until I get not-Dodongo (but C1 Dodongo still does good damage and hit stuns foes, so it's not a "waste" if I get him). Enhanced C3 is very strong but hits a very short range. Once Lana is free to move in the 1-2 seconds before the seed barrage begins, I like to step in front of it while guarding to bait enemies into it (plus if you stay back, they might go behind the stalks and be missed in that way, too). Enhanced C4 hits hard and very long distance. If you get a Gohma C1, just dash back so the foes are in front of you and the C4 will wipe them out. Even once you can move, just stay behind them for protection till they're done. Enhanced C5...is just amazing. If you do get Argorok C1, do make sure to dodge/run back for a sec. to make sure you can do the combo up to the invincibility sphere w/o disruption, and turn off the lock on. The camera goes nuts w/ it enabled while riding the dragon. Pulling Argorok on C1 is also a great time to enter focus spirit mode. Against bosses, start spamming C1 immediately when they go down. If you get Dodongo, try again. If you get Manhandla, use a special to sap the WPG w/ poison without actually losing any time for them to get back up. If you get Gohma, you can destroy most of the WPG w/ the enhanced C4, then just use a special. Argorok, and...yeah, instant destruction. :)
Dang, I used to think the summoning gate was terrible. So many of its attacks are slow! But this completely changes my perspective. Thanks for these guides!
To me this weapon is awesome because it allows you to summon out tiny versions of the bosses you face (closest thing for me to play as those bosses even if you can play as ganon or a giant chicken I mean cucco, but that's only in the challenge mode or if you use mods to freely play as the giant monster) also did not unlock this weapon but hopefully will soon (as soon as I figure out where it's hidden at in the adventure mode maps) speaking of which where do you unlock the summoning gate (in adventure mode to be specific)?
Something I’ve noticed about the first heavy attack is that it can insta-kill weak point gauges for captains and generals. I have her tier 3 weak point damage badge though, so I don’t actually know if it works at just any level of that.
Well thanks. NOW i know what i am doing because in the 3ds version u can't see her summons... instand u get different coloured balls that do... things but aren't able to see wich monster it is
One single strategy is all you need for this one. Hit C1, dash cancel, C1, dash cancel, C1, dash cancel, and so on. This alone is the most effective way of dealing with crowds, bosses, captains, anything. The only time I ever switch things up is when I see Argorok, THEN, while you have his icon visible, perform her final combo. I find this weapon boring, yet very consistent as long as these are your only attacks. I NEVER do an attack string or combo of any kind EVER, unless I’m riding on the back of Argorok. As far as button layout, just quickly press YAYAYAYA. The monsters will always finish their full attack animation the second their summoned, just dodge cancel out of YOUR animations as soon as possible always and this method can pretty much get anything done
Gohma's and Manhandla's modified combo are also decent from what I remember, so if you're even getting tired of fishing for Argorok, you can always use those two. Dodongo is the only garbage one.
Does the Switch version have Wii U summoning Gate or the 3DS version of them. As far as I heard the 3DS version of it is doesn't look appealing. I've the Wii U version and was considering getting the Switch but I liked the Wii U version of the summoning Gate.
Switch has Wii U summons. I know this is ages late, but it's such a simple answer that I'm annoyed no one gave it. The only reason it's balls of light in 3DS is because the 3DS absolutely could not handle a model of that complexity constantly being loaded in.
Yeah- this weapon is grossly underrated simply because of the terrible attack string. Unlike Zelda’s baton, which has basically nothing to stand out going for it, Lana’s gate attacks give her a much better time at shredding bosses and officers.
I love Lana, and her cool littoe dances, but i hate this weapin so much, it's awakardly slow and Janky, and very conlipcated. Not my style, or maybe i jyst don't understand, but Lana's Summoning Gate and Ruto are the worst movesets in the game for me
I was also having problems with this weapon. For me I kept looking for a hasty attacks to aply and the onely monster I use at close range is mandalla stocks. When I'm surounded I start using heavy and summoning hords of random monsters.
I liked both her and Ruto. Ruto was easy to learn. You first just create water with a combo and then you shoot things with waves by just pressing a strong attack without any stringed combos. Essentially you've a gauge for water. I find her tidal wave attack wipes out everything asides heavy enemies. You can speed up any slow weapon with the hasty attacks+ so if any weapons attack is too slow that may be better if it was sped up then you've got it as alternative. Great on slow characters like Durania for instance.
Lana dancing is probably the cutest thing ever put in a Zelda spin-off game,
My soul gets purified every time.
I like how sometimes when she summons she sings the Legend of Zelda theme
*...Sometimes?*
@@cobaltordinaire5219 it happened pretty much all the time with me, but like the koroks "yahaha" I still find it cite no matter how often I heard it
This weapon is so fun to use. Lana's dances as so cute! The weapon just needs a bit more speed. Luckily, Hasty Attacks can give it just that.
Personally, the dancing pisses me off when im trying to complete a level with a certain grade
@@maddogkilla1 Git gud
This is why Lana is best girl. She dances while she summons the bosses. Beautiful.
Gay
A
That end clip is one of the greatest things ever.
My favorite weapon for Lana, Her dancing makes it the best for me
don't forget: almost any heavy attack can be dodge cancelled for earlier control of Lana.

I find this weapon so relaxing to use. You mostly keep at a distance and launch huge attacks intermittently that take out huge groups.
I love the dancing she does with this weapon.
Maybe if she was a better dancer🤷🏽♂️ but I stopped using her after all the time she wasted when I used her
@@maddogkilla1just dodge cancel
The strong Bayonetta vibes of Lana dancing to control her combo-summons.
True. I'd say Lana's dances are less provocative, though, instead being more "idol-like".
thank you. Had no idea how to use this weapon, and was really struggling with the tier 3 weapon mission since I was spamming the standard attack like a scrub
Same. Why Im here. Lol
It’s also worth noting that Lana creates a blue sphere around her when you empower her summons and it gives her invulnerability
So a girl can get her dance on without those pesky enemies interrupting her!
She's also completely invulnerable when she's riding Argorok, making it even more broken for taking down barrier keeps.
Summoning Gate with Hasty attacks is soooooo good with Lana ♥️
Lana is such a cutie. I could never use this weapon well at all, so your guides truly help!
First time I discovered this weapon I absolutely fell in love. I was NOT expecting dancing, and I'm happy it was there lol
I feel like if the boss powers remained until you use a combo attack, it would have been FAR more effective, it would be like Sheik's combo effects but in reverse. In my opinion, what holds this weapon back aside from its incredibly slow speed, is that the icons only remain for a brief period of time.
Oh yeah the Old Rupee grind weapon back in the Wii U days.
How to make Lana utterly adorable: use this weapon! The gate is soooo fun to play as, even if it's awful. I actually like this one.
My favorite weapon in HW...or any musou game! Best w/ Hasty Attacks, but still great w/o it.

lana is best girl this is my favorite weapon of hers!! She kicks tail!! love her!!
My favorite weapon she has, although she should’ve summoned Godzilla, Thor, Barney, and King Kong instead of a chicken and a spider crab
Whenever I play as Lana with her gate, Argorok is the most common summon
Best victory screen ever!
THIRD! BEST victory screen...
Dang, I used to think the summoning gate was terrible. So many of its attacks are slow! But this completely changes my perspective. Thanks for these guides!
That ending is hilarious, it caught me off guard, well done.

I find it so sad how the bosses summoned appear as color orbs in the 3ds version
In the ending cutscene girly pop is literally running from a couple chickens but she doesn't run away from the 4000 ppl she kills per match
Ganon: "You can't hope to beat me!"
Lana: "I know, but he can!"
*Summons a giant Cucco*
Monster: rampageing the battled
Lana: 🕺
the fact that the "Weapon Swap Glitch" made this weapon Hilarious!
This sort of reminds me of how Yuna (FFX) plays in Dissidia Final Fantasy 012.
I suddenly realized, what with the nature of her character and her attacks with this weapon, Lana’s essentially a female V from Devil May Cry. ;)
Well thanks. NOW i know what i am doing because in the 3ds version u can't see her summons... instand u get different coloured balls that do... things but aren't able to see wich monster it is

Of course the weapon is gonna be boring if you ignore 90% of its functionality
IM WATCHIN EVERYTHIN BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING FOR MOVES FOR IT XD
My best character xd
Budget bayonetta
(this isn't meant to make fun of lana I actually like this weapon)

What song is that at the beginning?
How do I get the summoning gate?
I do find this weapon fun, but it doesn't give me the same level of satisfaction as other weapons
What music is that in the intro
How come I just heard of this??
I adore Lana. She's the Hatsune Miku of Hyrule Warriors😍
Easily the most difficult weapon to use in the entire game.
5:21 ❤
This is the best weapon in the gamee
Yeah- this weapon is grossly underrated simply because of the terrible attack string. Unlike Zelda’s baton, which has basically nothing to stand out going for it, Lana’s gate attacks give her a much better time at shredding bosses and officers.
But which summon has the best dance?
this weapon is so cool but i doesn't find it 😭
It may not be the best weapon ever, but damn if it doesn’t feel good to use.
My favorite weapon. I don't know why you put it in d tier
So summoning gates summons are basically jigglypuffs rests? Thx for the intel now I can die happy
Rest in Smash isn't RNG.
I dont like this weapon but I'm trying to get 100% so I need to get lvl4 Summoning gate
I love Lana, and her cool littoe dances, but i hate this weapin so much, it's awakardly slow and Janky, and very conlipcated. Not my style, or maybe i jyst don't understand, but Lana's Summoning Gate and Ruto are the worst movesets in the game for me
Not your style then. Try new characters, you’ll find your style someday. But for now Lana might not be for you
@@tntstrikercrispyfries8941 oh i know my Styles. I have my favs. It just ain't Lana's Gate.
I feel you. I hate using Imp midma for that reason. So awkward

1:10 for me
Best version of this character. Deku spear is ass. The book is meh.
It's a terrible moveset when you don't know about the modified combos. Also has the worst special in the game for hitting weak points.
Or, you can be me and just spam the X button. S U M M O N B O S S. Which one? Y E S.
She's so slow i just get killed every mission...
Trying to get her lv 3 gate but it's hard... :s
Oh. that's how you use it.
I'm stupid.
This weapon is dumb looking on 3ds
I hate this weapon.
