Nice to meet you! No matter who you are, I am happy to chat with you at any time.
MHW: Iceborne – Arch Tempered Velkhana | Lance – 4'56"51 (Heroics)
Season's greetings to everybody! I appreciate you all so much for watching my videos ❄️🎄💖
Last weekend, when I finally got my PC back, I took to putting together a fancy Christmas outfit for my character just for fun. Afterward, I realized that nobody's ever going to see it unless it's on video! So, I went through the whole process of figuring out a speedrun to attempt, then going through hours of resets just to create some gameplay with my Christmas outfit.
Freaking extra, I know. You can catch a preview of it at 5:51.
I ended up deciding on the Heroics AT Velkhana hunt because it fits the winter holiday theme, and I am already knowledgeable in this matchup. Plus, with the major changes soon to take place in my life and career, I probably don't have much flexibility to start a new project from scratch.
Little did I know that the Freestyle version of this hunt was going to bring me a world of pain due to its tedious opening sequence, altered AI, and Heroics HP management - but it was still very fun! I'll talk more about Velkhana's altered AI and the HP management aspect below.
====================
Velkhana's 50/50 Mixup
====================
Velkhana has significantly different AI in the Freestyle hunt, which primarily consists of a 50/50 mixup following its rush attack in Aura 1.
This is a niche Lance topic that might not be relevant to all viewers, so I'll just leave a link to my analysis of it here: docs.google.com/document/d/12ArH3JPAPyJSNGi4JKg1cGyz0JFhWCKVi4U26SJbuVw/edit?usp=sharing
====================================
Heroics, HP Management and Chip Damage
====================================
Using Heroics in this hunt introduces a very fun HP management minigame. The essence of it is that the player initially takes a couple of hits to reach the Heroics threshold (e.g., 30 HP), then "locks in" that 30 HP amount. For the rest of the hunt, they have the 30 HP to carefully spend using the Power Guard charged thrust during optimal openings.
At 0:54 I meet that Heroics threshold after receiving two tail stings. However, there is a red regeneration bar that will eventually take me out of the Heroics threshold, so I have to get rid of that red bar and "lock in" the green bar by taking some chip damage.
To do this, I can use Power Guard against any attack that inflicts a small knockback in order to take 10% chip damage from it. I get the lock-in at 1:09, and from that point on, I have a one-inch green bar to spend on Power Guards throughout the hunt. I actually attempted to lock in the green bar at 1:02 against the ice rings, but I was too far from the first ring and had to walk toward it, so I only had time to use a normal counter. I know, it looked really goofy.
Next, by spending HP, I mean using Power Guard against any incoming attack, which guarantees that I receive at least 10% chip damage. The importance of spending HP with Power Guard is that it enables one to use the 40-MV charged thrust instead of the standard 22-MV high thrust; in such a tight time constraint, every bit of damage counts. You can see me spend HP at 1:22, 1:51, 2:30, 2:57, and 4:12 to use charged thrusts.
There were many attempts where I ended up locking in only about 15 HP and had very little to spend for the rest of the hunt, which resulted in me fainting from a random Power Guard during the hunt. There were also many attempts where I forgot to lock in my HP after two hits, which resulted in Heroics wearing off about 90 seconds into the hunt.
All in all, I found the HP management minigame to be really fun and provide an interesting twist on the Lance. Usually, in TA Wiki hunts we use the Health Augment plus Peak Performance so we never have to worry about our HP; this Heroics hunt, on the other hand, introduced a resource scarcity aspect that kept me on edge. If you think this minigame sounds fun, be sure to try out Heroics some time!
=================
Build
=================
My build is at 5:10. The only deviation I made from the standard Heroics build is that I used Evade Window 2 + Attack Boost 5 instead of Evade Window 1 + Attack Boost 6, which I found to sacrifice a negligible amount of damage in the presence of Heroics.

MHW: Iceborne - Arch Tempered Velkhana | Lance - 6'57"80 (TA Wiki Rules)
มุมมอง 13K3 ปีที่แล้ว
and that's all she wrote 💌 This week I was able to reach 6'57"80 and 6'57"53. The "53 video is the cleaner hunt overall, but it is less bold and has less of a personal flair. Velkhana's AI in that hunt is also similar to the AI in Alex's fantastic hunt, so it would not be offering much new content beyond what he has already provided.

MHW: Iceborne - Gold Rathian | Lance - 2'42"05 (TA Wiki Rules)
มุมมอง 7K3 ปีที่แล้ว
The Gold Rathian hunt with Lance is an extremely intricate challenge - it is like going to a casino and card counting at the Blackjack table, and then rolling a six-sided die in between every Blackjack round. The card counting element consists of counting the damage dealt to Gold Rathian's head, as it flinches every time 1,200 damage is dealt to it. If the 1,200 threshold is met while Rathian i...

มุมมอง 15K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Wanted to take a little break from the endgame monsters, so I went to brush up on my Tempered Ruiner Nergigante matchup with post-Fatalis gear. It didn't really turn out to be a break because counting thrusts to keep track of Nergigante's spike cycles is equally as difficult. That moment after the hunt when you check your map and see that you've finally achieved your goal (3:5x:xx in my case) i...

My attempt at Normal Shelling Gunlance against AT Velkhana since I couldn't find any videos. WSB Placements found at: 0:44 4:04 The fight starts off quite badly but picks up after 1:53. It's not a great run by any means, and I am currently working on a better run. The purpose of this run is to demonstrate two things: 1. Although Slap Lance is the most efficient and popular way to go in this fig...
Pinnacle of Lance. When we say we gonna lock on to the head, we mean it.
Sick run! What's your layered armor? Never seen it before and it looks sick
beautiful
Blast Dash/Reverse Blast Dash should just be standard on GL forever.
Beyond amazing
How do you get velkhana to not do that annoying freeze the ground thing…is it from elder seal?
Beautiful
i keep thinking my spotify turned itself on whenever im watching your videos
I LOVE ARIANA GRANDE
i might be wrong but this is the only video i saw that has slain Velk using a Normal Shelling gunlance. its usually Wide because its just difficult to land a burst.
Oh my fucking god. That was so beautiful, you mastered the Gunlance perfectly, I can't wait to see you do speed runs with it at MHWilds
How do you sheath so fast to clutch claw? It’s like bypassing the animation
How do you do those quick 180s to hit the head?
as i remember, you can use normal shield defense to make any quick turn
If you powerguard and get hit, you can power thrust in any direction with circle and the control stick
by power guarding.
@@omair5481 You don't even have to get hit, you can just powerguard and choose your direction whenever
Just started lance. Hoping to get this good one day.
Cheering for you mate. Be the lance!
I love how you stacked your "Acala's Grace" for the swag head dunks. This is like MHWIB combo MAD, if only Lance could Piercing Rain when monster is down...
This is still undefeated 3 years later. We managed to achieve faster time by playing "Lancer style" with Offensive Guard, meanwhile this actual Lancer shows us how to stick to our GUNCE. The role reversal is too good. Love the stylish "counter thrust wyrmstake blast" btw, and you're still a mad lad for figuring out how to full burst that thing. Would love to see your take on the "Lancer style" if you're up for it, Lancer doing "Lancer style" on a Gunlance sounds like all kinds of fun.
This is so rhythmic, POKE POKE POKE, POKE POKE POKE: Lance Endless Waltz Ruiner: why do I hear boss music?!
Yo how do you sharpen in one go?
You can either get armor or use decorations that give you speed sharpening( max up to lvl 3). Or you can use Great Whetfish fin+( there is an event quest in master rank you can use to farm them easily)
@@nuk1nator511 *you literally just helped me a TON.* I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. Thanks a BUNCH
@bigcsbigbrother3685 No problem!! Happy Hunting!!
aside from the one commenting about the skill, our guy here used a Whetfish Fin+ for a faster sharpen. he basically didnt use any skill, just whetfish
Did you change the block sound to make it sound like a parry from dark souls?
Did u mean the offensive guard sound?
Thats the Offensive Guard sound effect
Dang that damage n skills.
Such an excellent run! Also great choice of music. It’s refreshing to hear something other than rock for a speedrun.
what
I remember watching this run when you first posted it, still puts a smile on my face two years later. Seeing such high level, flawless Lance gameplay is such a treat. Hoping to see you in Wilds, or even in World with the new surge in popularity. You, Alex and KCGemini made lance become my favorite weapon in them game.
great job, I just noticed christmas music playing in th ebackground LOL good job
This ice attack on the ground kills me instantly, funny that yours melts into the ice, what mod is this?
Last slap was : get yo ass over here mfk
Whew! The Shield dash, the Counters, the dodges, the accuracy. PERFECTLY executed. Hats off. 🙇
very cool lancing! but how good in practice evade window for lancing steps?
Late to the MH party... Been vibing with the lance to help my HBG user keep some distance. Came from another video you had commented on. A video that I had heavily disagreed with from my simple sub 100 hunts with the Lance. So I came to watch you, and confirmed that I'm on the right path. There's something about these larger named streamers across gaming as a whole that continually seem to kinda actually suck at playing the game. Like noticing when certain habits that habitual gamers do to save time / prevent bugs, aren't done. Like the videos are being put out for the sake of content, or even wrong to provoke more attention. It does take time to produce, and that's time not spent gaming after all. It puts a lot of doubt in my mind that I am not doing X 'meta' because someone with subs said. I still can't understand how it's wrong to be the last one alive, and still attacking. Anyways... Thank you for showing me the right way to play, without the gimmicks / tricks and bombs. Just pure lancin at .5x speed (.25 audio was unbearable). Why would we ever sheath, dodge, or run away when we can just put up this thing called a shield, and then smack them back. I wish the more skilled players made content, but then... they're probably busy getting better.
Dude i hope some day could ply lance like this, this is just perfect timing on every single lance movement and counter attacks! You have my respect Sr. 👌🏻

ariana grande turned me on for this fight
How did you change direction after counter at 1:09? Did you power guard really fast?
Ikr lol
They in fact did.
if you power guard and then input direction + circle, the poke will be directed to where you input your direction even if its 180°
He who masters the Gunlance can go face-to-face with some of the fiercest monsters
This was animal Abuse… Velkhana vs Arch-Tempered Yanxi
You turn Lance into such a beautiful ballet of pokes and counter pokes.
Absolutely love your style, so precise, meticulous, clean, no wasted movements with perfect timing! Such a joy and inspiration - decided to relearn the lance after all these years thx to you!
what a beast!
As a fellow lance enjoyer this is eye candy right here , love the run! And good god what a decoration collection !!
<3
man i wish i was this good at head sniping with lance
this is by far the most impressive gunlance gameplay i've ever seen holy fucking shit.
Gigachad run.
Did you actually make your character look like Alina Lopez 🗿
Evasion gunlance is real, masterful!
it felt like I was watching ariana kill nergi... 😂 very nice run... lance user here 🖤
Late to this, but you make Lance look so elegant and effortless 👌
