Tbh the beat way to do it is to raw damage your way through alatreon and faint only for the escaton, though i’ve seen some people get the topple with the gl shelling
Weapon tips, Gunlance edition: 1. If you need to chase the monster back hop towards it because the back hops can go further if you hold back on the left stick. 2. It's usually better to dodge attacks than to block with the Gunlance because, unlike the Lance, it has no follow-ups as you've noticed. This unfortunately does require investment in the evasion skills to do it consistently. All in all you did very good! Massive props for managing to kill Alatreon because that's definitely a tough matchup.
I don't really agree on 2. Can make it work without a follow up just fine. Of course I also run maximum guard skills so I am a beefy wall with less than usual knockback from big stuff, and I play Wide Lance because Wide Lance best lance so I'm really good at being quick with my bursts and retreating back behind the shield wall. Gunlance and Lance, despite being so similar, are pretty different in playstyle. A lancer is, funnily enough, far more aggressive. They have the tools for it. More mobility, counter attacks, better control over pokes. Gunlancers hide behind the shield, and dump a whole load of raw damage when they get their opportunity, then retreat back behind their wall until the next opportunity comes. It's a lot more methodical and deliberate, and mistakes are more harshly punished because of that. Slower combos and all that. Also protip, don't use wyvernstake in your combos unless you're prepping the sticky one. It's really not worth it, the animation is way too long for the minimum dps it offers.
Don't have much experience with Gunlance so far. When I was getting tired of farming same monsters over and over and only played lance I decided to give Gunlance a try, since I thought it'd be the closest thing to lance, but ngl it only having basic block and nothing else was very jarring at first. Slap lance is pretty fun though and it really helped me with Shara specifically, when I needed it's parts and was getting the worst RNG imaginable 😅
The worst part about GL is not having any good follow ups with things like blocking. It can feel pretty clunky and archaic like that. And those Shara scalps are the worst, that damn head is glued on I swear XD
@WreckitRai I think they just messed something up with it's values. I needed it's GS like a week ago. Went with GS and broke the head easily, then I went with hammer, kept getting KOs, but no head break 😑
I liked GL in base World but hated it in Iceborne because of the stupid wyrmstake blast mechanic. Takes 4 hours to plant it and recover and always gets stuck in the wrong part.
“I wish i could counter after guarding”
Wilds: well well well
ICE mod guard point of quick reload
@@samyt681 Anyone readings this who hasn't tried the ICE mod yet HAS to before Wilds. It is so good! I personally played elemental GS, so fun :D
GL against Ala is probably one of the more difficult matchups imo. Major props for getting him using a weapon you don’t use much!
And Rai did it at 2-player scaling to boot!
given that I had to start the quest, then leave

Ive never seen anyone else try gunlance with alatreon. I love joining random alatreon lobbies and watch peoples jaw drop as i mess the elemntal boy up
Aw hell yeah! It was surprisingly fun to do tbh
I usually just see people fighting him with fatalis and raging brachy weapons

Just wait for the bow!
i remember the good ol days when alatreon was dropped. Still got the stupid whetfin fish+ DB's that did it for me haha
In my eyes you deffo succeeded against Alatreon. First go was very unfair
Nice, but I think that not using Fatalis set would be much more of a handicap than banning Divine Blessing.

You need to make one for lance!😂
That is indeed the plan! XD
