This helped me understand what I'm actually doing. I had mostly been mindlessly tapping and swiping my phone in the hopes I was doing good. Now I actually understand the combos.
Glad i could help :)
Same!! I was trying really hard to figure it out but I'm like yeah, I have no idea, I do cool moves sometimes and I have no idea how, lol
Do note that the shells upgrades its damage between weapon grades. Example. A G5-1 gunlance will have the same shell damage as G5-5. It will only add more damage when you OG it to G6.
Yep thanks for sharing this man!
Are all weapons the same damage at the same grade?
@kataratak33 it will vary depending on gunlance type. But same type gunlances with the same grade will have the same shelling damage.
Deviljho gunlance is at least worth it as a long type gunlance since it comes with one point in artillery. This would hypothetically make it stronger than the bone gunlance at grade 8 and higher.
@@strikerstratos agreed. For now, it will be stronger since we have limited artillery armor pieces but when we do get more it will even out the playing field again haha! Hopefully we get more artillery armor pieces
I really love that fact that you test the weapons, and not Only post things in webpages , the best GL video so far ❤
Thanks for sharing your gunlance tests too in the comments man! Really helpful info :)
This is good tutorial for new Gunlance users and even experienced Gunlance players like me. I'm always learning something since between Monster Hunter World and Rise. I need to give the Focus skill set for my load out a try one of these days. It's not easy trying to obtain all of the skills that I want for my Gunlance. I already got a favorite armor set for this. I wish there was more armor sets for the Gunlance like wearing a cowboy outfit like the Wroggi armor set. 🙂🐵👍
Thanks man! I agree i need me some cowboy fashion armor set haha! Those are the must haves: samurai, knight, and cowboy 😂
How many people looked into this moveset after accidentally using the slashes and thought you couldn't do anything but the poke and shoot? I'm a insect glaive main in world and a hunting horn main in Rise and I had no clue the gunlance had more than poke and shoot
Subscribed bro, MH3U Hunter here. I avoided this game so bad since release cause Niantic... But I'm HR 16 now and very much enjoying it. Thank you.
@hayden6383 thanks for subscribing man! Hope you enjoy the game!
Another excellent video! I love your way of presenting and explaining. English is not my native language but I understood everything! Very good work !
Thanks man! I put a lot of effort in making sure my presentation is easily understood. Glad it was all worth it!
@@PauwerPlays Yep, A quality video, once again!
Your tutorial nails it! Best🎉
Thanks man! Appreciate it :)
after a perfect dodge, if you tap it it'll shoot a normal shell with the damage of its charged version
Yeah it will! Thanks for sharing man!
Thank you for that information. I’m in the process of transitioning from long sword to gunlance.
Happy to help! Hope you enjoy the gunlance man
Nice one man! 👏
Thanks man hope you enjoy the weapon!
Amazing tutorial! Sending this video to help out my brother to learn this weapon
Thanks man! Hope it helps your bro :)
It's really crazy how strong GL is in MHNow. I didn't even have any sort of optimized set, nor did I have a full grasp on how to control it (aside from tap to fire, swipe to stab) but I was able to take out monsters well out of my power range with the basic bone GL you get for free.
It's a shame actually upgrading weapons takes so many materials otherwise I'd probably switch over to GL permanently. But I've already got G8 weapons in 3/5 elements, with the fourth only a few scales away in my SnS collection so it'll just have to be a fun side thing to use when I wanna switch it up for now.
Yeah, i´m in the exact same position. SnS Main with 3 8 star weapons and 1 at peak 7 star. I want to try gunlance, but it took me several month to build my SnS sets. Literal Pain q.q
Same here with all the SnS's. I have upgraded the bone gunlance a lot and it can easily take on 8 star monsters though lol. Finding it very fun and worth investing.
@@liamkadenbach9774 That´s true. I´m using the bone gunlance right now and it´s somehow nearly as strong as my other weapons, which are like 2 tiers higher. And that´s without knowing how to play gunlance :D
Maybe, i´ll just do one general set and have fun with it!
@@iuui30 and here I thought my progress was just slow because of how casually I play the game. I'm glad to see I'm not alone
@@iuui30 It's so cheap to upgrade I'm thinking of just making it my main. But I spent such an insane amount of time on my 4 8/2 SnS and their armor
FIRST! thanks for the guide! im having so much fun with the GL
Thanks for supporting the channel man! Hope you find the video helpful :)
Is it better to build artillery instead of elemetal builds?
Haven't tested it yet but in theory, it depends on the type of gunlance. Wide gl still benefit from element when doing wyrmstake and pokes. But long gl don't benefit at all since they spam charge shells. Normal can still benefit when slapping the boomstick but most of the damage will come from shells. So i think artillery should be the priority
@@PauwerPlays thanks. Sadly we can only get artillery 3 right now.
@@GenMartianGaming yeah but still great that it gives us an additional shell haha
Does the special Wyvern's Fire only get affected by raw attack power?
Ow im not really into lance ang gunlance but that was quite a guide still waiting for switchaxe 😅 tnx for many video mhn info keep it up
Thanks for always watching man! Can't wait for the switch axe too! That was my first ever MH weapon haha!
It's already the best op weapon.
Had the cheap bone gunlance on grade 5 and defeated a 8☆ Kushala with the help of a few driftstone my armor wasn't meant for the gunlance.
Edit: Woops nvm it was grade 6.
Sameeee waiting on swaxe like… 🙃
@@Foun_D_OnePiece still g6 not bad! Shelling is so good rn
Long shelling with art 2 + focus 4 is what I use now. its pretty strong, especially when using jho's GL.
Sound like so much fun! Enjoy man!
Gunlance is so good, I feel like the wall I was facing against 5 star enemies even with my grade 5 weapons got easier. I can beat a 5 star monster with my grade 4 bone gunlance. So this video helped me refine my moves and know what to do better with it.
Shelling is insane right now! Glad i could help refine those gunlance combos haha. Enjoy the weapon man!
great video
Thanks man!
Thank you so much! I've been needing better details on the GL since it's my 3rd favorite weapon! I wonder if they'd ever add switch axe
@@josec6076 im sure they will add the switch axe in the future!
@@PauwerPlays that gets me excited!
What’s your top 2? :D
does burst and lock on do any good on gunlance? I have rathian vambrace 3 in my build, but seems like the damage from shell stays the same even when burst (level 2) is activated
Burst does not buff shelling damage. Burst only buffs the slashing, thrusting and the wyrmstake of the gunlance. Burst can be good when you use these attacks with the gunlance
@@PauwerPlays seems useless since I only use bone gunlance & focuses on shelling rather than melee attack.. changed my build to partbreaker now thanks
Normal full burst takes too long. An alternative faster combo perfect dodge -> overhead counter (this needs to be fast) and fullburst when using normal gunlance.
Perfect dodge -> overhead -> wide sweep -> stake is also important dps for normal/wide.
The stake is very strong dps for all builds.
Even though it is crit, latent power is also really strong for stake / slap combos.
Normal can get at 48s remaining with fb loop, wide can get around 45s (in theory wide can get in 15s but hard to combo shell x2 + stake and dodge without team)
Very good skill to have for kushala / elder dragons if your build can fit it.
i been using the deviljho gunlance all day and ooooo is it so fun
Time to finish the Gunlance mission!
Get those valuable gunlance tickets for your bone gunlance haha!
I'm always waiting for hunting horn !!! 🙂
Might be a few more seasons b4 they add the HH i think
Great vid. I'm still confused about the tap x3 and release the wyrmstake. It doesn't work for me. I just release 3 bullets and the wyrmstake stays put. I mostly use the bone gl which is long amo while I'm trying to figure out how to use it. Why is my wyrmstake not releasing on shot 3? Do I have to do something specific to thrust forward?
Try tapping it consecutively. Just spam those taps haha. Hope this works
@@PauwerPlaysI think what I've been doing wrong is not standing close enough to the beast. Now when I do it releases. Oddly though I have to stand closer with the long bullets compared to the normal GL bullets
Do you have an armor guide for gunlances? I know you talked about a few skills to grab for each type in this video. Or must have pieces for certain builds. I know final builds come down to what monster you are hunting when at higher tiers.
@@gonzo8898 i made a video for elemental gunlance builds
I've noticed that the wyrmstakes deals elemental damage on a monster weakness. That being said, I Love watching the fireworks when it does hit.
IKR that damage was crazy! That's why i think i prefer wide type gunlance over normal haha
Nice guide. I've already going with great girros GL with Lv5 par-attack and Lv4 Status Sneak-up.
Those monsters just standing there menacingly.
Ooohhh that must feel good to spam those full bursts!
@@PauwerPlays Especially when going HAT, the team just went crazy with the damage output. Slaying 8star Kushala with ease.
Good idea
So the shots of the pistol lance do not apply elemental damage or critical?
Yep. Shelling doesnt have element and does not crit. You can boost damage with artillery and by overgrading gunlances
A little detail you didn't mention is that after a perfect dodge if you shoot right away the shot will be as strong as a charged shell
Yep it does! Thanks for sharing the info here in the comments!
Do the shells do abnormal/elemental damage or is it just the weapon with the attribute??
Shells are not affected by raw and element
when i do a swipe up instead of rising slash all it does is a poke? am i doing it wrong?
You have to tap and hold long enough b4 swiping up to get rising slash
As a Gunlance main, it feels so weird to see Shelling to be this powerful in a MH game. I hope it remains as good un Wilds.
Niantic did a great job translating Gunlance on the mobile app.
Do you think it's like Rise and has fire attack slightly boost shell damage?
No i dont think so. Element only affects the slash and thrusting attacks
Pretty fun weapon, I’m still practicing to memorize everything into muscle memory lol 😅
It will take a while especially with the lateral thrust and rising slash 🤣
I like my wyrmstakes well done!
So satisfying when you see the ticks haha!
Trying to remember what theme is playing in the background, is it from MH4U?
Mh3u port town :)
if i use G7/5 Azure gunlanc and G7/5 Deviliho gl which one is high dmg for one shell at same level 3 artillery
Havent tested it but in theory shelling damage should be the same. Damage will depend on weapon grade. G7 to g8 will increase damage but g7/4 to g7/5 will have the same danage
my 3rd main weapon
i wonder if they'll add the option to dismantle and refund materials.
i don't really need the monster materials, just the bones and ores.
having to build gunlance from 0 just "oh boy"
especially when i live in rural area where gathering points are rare
I feel your pain but i guess niantic doesnt want the grind to be that easy haha
PSA; I JUST LEARNED THAT YOU CAN AIM THE CHARGE SHOT!
While holding down the charge you can drag your finger up and down to adjust where it shoots
Yup when out of gyro you can adjust up and down by sliding your finger :)
Maybe in the future we can see the Iceborne interactions get added to the game, so we can use things like the charge blade's Savage Axe mode.
Yes! Maybe in the future. They need to keep things fresh if they want monster hunter now to stay relevant when wilds releases next year haha
This is such a fun iteration for GL without needing to manage sharpness or overheating.
Also worth mention: artillery 3+ gives another shell. Once long or wide have that, full burst is back on the menu for them, even if not as powerful as full shell normal.
Yeah! More reasons to add artillery haha! I still wouldn't do full burst on the wide. Only 3 doesn't seem too good when you can fire single shells
Even I can say that Long with Artillery+3 turns into the omnishelling from Iceborne Community Edition, you can actually use every style that every shelling offers.
begs the question if I still build GL with higher elemental dmg or just go for the higher raw dmg like pink rathian GL?
depends on the type of gunlance. Wide gl can still benefit from element but for normal you should go for raw
@@PauwerPlays ahhh thank you for the advice, gonna try it out later and thank you for always making quality videos that are informative and easy to understand, appreciate it 🫡
this is in noway trying to be disrespectful but i would recommend not listening to the RUclipsr. that advice is only applicable to the main mh games, not mhnow.
Element damage is added to the damage total just as much as raw does in mhnow (as long as monster is vulnerable to that element)
So you will do way more with element up and appropriate element gunlance when using the slap parts of the gunlance.
wyrmstake is the main move you want to land, and its ticks use all the same damage sources as regular attacks, including element and status.
even normal gunlance should prioritize wyrmstake over fullburst if the opening presents itself.
you don't need element, but you will see better results with element and makes risking wyrmstake that more rewarding
@@petercottantail7850 ahh I see, high risk high reward kind of play style is indeed satisfying, I’ll take into consideration and since the shells dmg are only increase by the grades of the weapon, the increase elemental dmg on the wyrmstake can help boost the dmg output as well making it more versatile.
Correct me if I’m wrong but thats what I got from your advice haha
Thanks alot for the insight, Cheers 🙂🍻
With more time spent on gunlance, normal can benefit from element as well. You dont get the opportunity to go for full burst all of the time, so the thrust and slashing attacks you would usually do get buffed by element attack.
My priority would be add artillery first then elemental attack 2nd. Hope this helps!
So the Jho gunlance will ignore the -30% affinity ?
Yes when you are shelling and its a long type so ypu will just be spamming charged shots haha
🤔 Guys any idea if the skill part breaker will work on shelling (megaman move)? Thx in advance?
Partbreaker should apply to everything in the gunlance kit.
Thx @@Nautilus_pilot
I'm still a bit lost. What about the long type gunlance? You hold and shoot, but you don't use the wyrmstakes
You still shoot wyrmstakes when you have the opportunity but you would usually be doing charge shots
Wyrmstake Is it affected by Focus?
Charge shelling is the one affected by focus
The aggressive dodger is gud for the reg shells. Do perfect dodge then slam that lance and dump the shells
Ohhh that sounds like some juicy damage! Can't wait to try it out! have to roll for it first 😂
What build are you using in this video ?
Oh nothing in particular haha. I was using my partbreaker build for the charge blade but it not optimized for the gl
@@PauwerPlaysoh I thought you used banbaro for part breaker?
I love your videos
I use the heck out of part breaker lol
Is dual blade still good ?i wonder.
Still good dps weapon
idk gl seems fun but those long animations feel even more punishable than cb, especially after you fire the spike you just stand there for a week and even tho you have shield in front you still eat the dmg...
The wyrmstake has a super long animation and the same for the overhead smash but the rising slash and full burst, you can dodge out of it pretty safely. If you don't like the normal playstyle, you can try out wide or long! Personally i like wide. It's like lance but now you have additional shelling damage :)
Gunlance ie very fun :)
Been having so much fun with the weapon more fun than the charge blade tbh. Can't wait to explore more builds!
@@PauwerPlays yeah same
Does elemental damage work well with gun lances??
depends on the type of gunlance. I'd say the wide type gunlance would be the one benefiting greatly from element because it pokes and the wyrmstake deals elemental damage
@@PauwerPlaysplease stop implying to people that wide is the only good shelling type for wyrmstake and element. they all benefit from its massive damage.
@@petercottantail7850 sorry im not saying that it's the only good one for element. All im saying is its the best one that can utilize element. Other types can still benefit but not as often
@@PauwerPlays Thank you. I happened to craft a long gun lance first without really realizing there were different types. Very interesting weapon, still a lot to learn with GL and CB
Can they give us a training area??? How hard could it be to add….
Aggressor dodger does boost shelling as well
Yep! Gotta roll for that now haha!
@PauwerPlays I managed to get 2 for my crit bill but because I managed to get burst on my helm with crit boost 2, don't think I'll bother as I'm working on basarios chest and legs armor
Long GL makes me feel like MegamanX
The gl feels and sounds so good in this game haha!
its so annoying sometimes when you have to chase monsters when they get too far. you end up doing a swipe up attack lol
IKR you have to take a second b4 swiping up
Charge blade is no longer my best friend, gun lance best friends forever now
Same! Gunlance feels better 😂
why didnt you show armor combinations?
Still working on it. Gotta test out builds first
@@PauwerPlays oh ok
I'm building Jho gunlance with Focus 5. It's already insane with only 1 level of artillery. Grade 6 can easily take on most 7*
Oooh i gotta test out focus 5 on my long gl build haha!
@@PauwerPlays anoying armor pieces if you want basaraios chest you need azure helm and bl.d arms. All pieces are grade 8 drift slots 😞
@PauwerPlays 10% between lv4 and 5 makes a big difference. Id take it over 1 more artillery and you can still get artillery 3 with jho gunlance after g 8
@PauwerPlays i uploaded a short of fighting an 8 star basarios with it if you want to see. Im not great with it and basarios is kind of a chump, but you can see the potential!
I have para 5 status sneak 4 and paralyze monster 3x in a row.
That's crazy for the gunlance! Cant wait to try it out for myself haha!
It's good that they have not treated the gunlance, like what they did with the bow and lbg. wish bows have coatings and lbg with attachments. The only thing that putting me off is the controls.. they should switch thrust and shelling.
Same! I don't like how swipe up is thrust and tap and hold then swipe up is rising slash. I get it wrong all the time. I guess it'll take some getting used to the timing
I am finding it hard to close gaps when I’m like just a little bit out of range and I try to swipe forward and my dude just stands there whiffing at nothing
@@EbiLMunkeY Yep i want lateral thrust to move me forward but i get the rising slash whiff. very frustrating
Another basic control GL:
Long swipe down: Full reload
Long swipe up: Rising slash
🌚Long swipe up + swipe up + tap + long swipe up + tap🌚
you make way better videos much more easy for me me to understand
Thanks man! That means a lot i try to be as clear and concise as possible :)
Anyone else think the wide weapon being used looks like a spark plug from an engine?
Now that you mention it haha!
Is it just me or it is broken? I just pew pew dodge pew reload until it dies
That's basically long or wide gl playstyle haha
Wide shell is the worst while it have nothing offense skill combine...
I like wide. The wyrmstake is so good haha!
I can't believe they actually made each shelling type have a purpose that wasn't super gimmicky.
I mean, in rise (base game), wide shelling existed solely as a gimmicky stun weapon (rise wide wyrmstake hits only twice, but stuns) that I liked but knew was bad, or to balance high raw GLs with bad shelling.
Long has been dethroned as the jack-of-all trades shelling (for now) and is actually specialised.
So far every new weapon in mhnow has been fantastic! Really keeps the spirit of the weapon from mainline games. Cant wait to see what they add next haha!
im confused this video is literally in the game on how to use the weapon so how is this video helpful?
Did you get to the part where I talk about the different gunlance types haha
The FPS is hard to watch, respect your career and invest in a better phone.
Oh sorry about that. Im using samsung s23 plus. I'll try to turn on 60fps mode but im just worried my battery will drain too fast haha
@@PauwerPlays Please by all means keep it charged when recoding in 60 FPS. I am really happy that your audience is steadily growing, please keep it up so all of them will stay!
Weird no whetstone logic on this game
Its good that its not a monetized feature 😂
I honestly don't get why people are playing mh now when you can emulate a psp/3ds on android pretty decently and play an actual mh game in your phone if you want to
It has a fun community aspect to it haha. Managed to meet some amazing hunters thru the game haha
To get me out of the house and be active 😅
So i can still gaming when outside.
Like you still gaming in sleep when playing pokemon sleep
@@Erealze alot of mh games are in handheld devices
@@BrandonAndTashio after downloading it, I could attest to that. It's fun to bike around the city and open mh now from time to time.
6:42 the best weapon type to use while drivin- I mean being a passenger
Shhhh they know 😂
