Now I'm using Girros' GL, with a set of Status sneak attack and sneak attack, it's incredible how quickly they fall into paralysis with the Wyrmstake attack
Thanks to the help from this video, my bone cannon capabilities have doubled. Charging my shots and landing them from a distance means I can move out the way. Plus I found out that a charged attack to a burrowing Diablos means it gets stuck and is susceptible to two more charged shots before it recovers
Always quick to the point and easy to understand, thanks for the video. I avoided Jho HaTs because I didn't care about any of the weapons/armors but the extra point in Artillery is worth it now. I'm using Long shelling with a 8.1 Bone GL, liking the damage with only 2 points of Artillery so far!
Yeah the jho gunlance with artillery is so good now that we can only get max of artillery level 3 from armor skills. But when we get more artillery armor pieces, we dont have to rely on jho anymore and go back to the bone gunlance 😂
@@PauwerPlays it's always nice to not have to use a piece of armor that gives 1 artillery only, and try to put in sneak atk/focus/aggresive dodger into the mix for more dps. And honestly, I don't think the Jho GL is that much harder to farm than the Bone GL to G8-10 purely because of 40 monster bone S or more per upgrade past G7, and having to do it 6 times per grade instead of 2 is painful lul.
It’s true that the bone GL is very resource smart to craft and does the job, but daora’s GL can solo 8* Teostra and it’s not an easy feat. Might be a cherry picked example but Rajang is also coming up and being able to rely on wyrmstake is a huge bonus.
I’m returning to this video because I’ve recently returned to the gunlance ❤ I forged the carnival gunlance and it’s remarkable how much blast builds up with teostra blastpowder. It’s very explosive and fun
I'm currently making a dedicated set for Lance and Gunlance (Mostly for Gunlance) with: - Guard lvl 5 - Artillery lvl 3 - Heroics lvl 1 - Lock On That's without adding extra skills to the set, just by upgrading. It's a lot a fun and a powerhouse with Long Shelling. I'm usually someone who ignores weapons that only have Raw damage, but you've convinced me to make the Bone GL as well, playing as a tank is awesome and since it's easy to upgrade, it's definitely gonna be a lot of fun
That really is the main advantage of the bone gl. It's so easy to upgrade haha! I think guard 5 is a bit overkill. Try adding other offensive skill as well :)
@@PauwerPlays indeed, seconds after I commented I have it near grade 6 before ever using it. Lol yeah, it's overkill but that's because I wanted to make a single set that I could switch between Lance and Gunlance without needing a second set slot dedicated to one of the two, since I'm already full with specific sets as well. But I might change that down the line to be dedicated to just one weapon, in the meantime, I like multi use sets for experimentation on my current rank 😁
I’m personally enjoying the gunlance! I was debating whether to build the Rathalos GL or Azure Rathalos GL until I saw that Azure Rath is coming back already! I love the Blue Rook because it gives me flexibility with fire weak monsters. I can hit from range while also doing elemental damage up close
@alejandrotumpayvigil4939 deviljho gl only has artillery +1. My reason is that you can easily get bone gl to grade 10 and get more damage faster. The deviljho gunlance is harder to upgrade but if you manage to get it to grade 10. It will have more damage than the bone gl since we can only get max artillery 3 from armor piece for now. But in the future if we can get artillery 5 from armor piece the bone and the deviljho gl will just have the same shelling damage. So its just a matter of which one is easier to upgrade for me haha
im using deviljho GL with 2 basarios and 1 teostra armor, have the artillery to 5, the full shell damage is insane especially since i have sneak attack driftstone and fired my full charged shell from behind.
Hunter's Unity is one of the few skills that can strengthen shelling damages; And I'm quite sure you can never smelt it, while you can probably smelt artillery in the future. So, i don't think Kushala GL is that bad in the long run, since long GL is highly depend on charged shelling. Though I'm not crafting that myself right now since I'm going to craft Kushala armors and bow first.
Banking on finding a team that is using Hunter's Unity is a losing man's bet. Unless you have 3 friends that are building Kushala weapons, and plan to use them on every monster, even ones not weak to ice, both Deviljho and Bone Gunlance are better options.
just like every high-ranking hunter is using Zinogre weapons when facing Kushala and Deviljho now. Finding a team using Hunter's Unity would not be a problem in the near future when facing strong monsters that are weak to ice. Also, building Kushala GL doesn't necessarily mean you can't build any other GL. That's not the trade-off. At least GL has better compatibility than most of the Kushala weapons. With your logic, Kushala weapons are unusable, then?
I hope shelling in the main series become this good. Is kinda refreshing. Right I'm way too low HR as to upgrade any weapon beyong grade 8, so I'll just work on g=farming armor and getting other Gunlances.
Hi Pauwer, I just recently got into MHN and have been working my way through the HRs (Currently HR 24) and currently have a Grade 5 5/5 Bone Gunlance. I was wondering if you had a beginner armor set/armor pieces you'd recommend to craft that will be helpful late game for the gunlance. Currently I've taken the Basarios chest and greaves because of Artillery but outside of those 2 pieces I'm at a loss as to what I should craft. I was thinking of Rathian gauntlets for the lock-on but aside from that not really sure. Any advice would be welcome! Thanks.
For long gunlance you can get sneak attack from the girros vambraces or get focus from the pukei helm at the start of the game. Then you can imvest in azure rathalos helm amd black diablos arms later in the game
@@PauwerPlays thanks! Any waist recommendations? I’m currently running Paolumu waist for divine blessing. I also heard Nightshade may have some benefits to Gunlance as well?
I'm typically a lance main, but I played an ungodly amount of gunlance in Rise. Feels so weird playing GL in Now because I'm missing all the switch skills that were so ingrained in my playstyle 😆
The deviljho gunlance is a great option since it has artillery at grade 8. The only problem is its harder to upgrade to grade 10. The main advantage of the bone gunlance is its easy to upgrade and boost its shelling damage
Is anyone else having a problem where the wyrmstake shot bounces off the monster and explodes in the dirt? My opening salvo, with a normal type GL, has been combo straight into Wyrmshot after doing a few single shells. That had been effective until the shot started bouncing off. Am I missing some key element, here?
So sad that Kushala’s is the shunlance. Shun 😔. I’m leveling up the elementals to max 7 first. I’m a little weary of investing materials into the bone GL, simply because the meta will probably change and updates might affect shelling damage in the future. It’s definitely strong, but not an immediate priority for me personally since my CB sets can cover 8* monsters.
@@PauwerPlays I made Kushala’s CB for fun, but yea. I can be fine with upgrading it to max 7, but I’m pretty sure the requirements are gonna be heavy for 8 and above. Haven’t looked it up yet though. I’m nearly finished with leveling up Basarios greaves to 6 to match my armor sets, and my Zin CB is 2 rarity 6 drops away from the mat requirement for being fully maxed out.
Its great but it's gonna be difficult to overgrade and i already invested my jho stuff on the lance 😅 Im sure in the future we will get other artillery armor pieces so no need to invest in jho. But if you like the long playstyle then go for it!
I love using the bone GL for Monsters which are hard to damage with other weapons, like Barroth due to it's mud armor, Radobaan with his bones and Basarios since he's a walking rock. To just ignore all those defensive perks is so much fun and makes them really easy. Also TziTzi is easier since you can block the flash and break its head easier. Pushed my GL right until 7.5 as fast as I could and will wait with rank 8 until I get enough wyvern gem shards to upgrade all my main sets to grade 8 to use driftsmelding and will then push all my weapons further (except Zinogre, Kushala and Deviljho weapons as they have their own red item and dont use w. gem shards)
Somehow I feel like shelling is going to be nerfed in the future. It just seems crazy to me that a basic weapon like the bone gunlance can be so powerful even without any armor skills to support it. FAR and away the best beginner weapon, I imagine this just trivializes the difficulty spike going from 5 star monsters to 6 stars since you can upgrade it without any r5 materials. I have it at grade 7.1 and with only focus 4 and artillery 1 I can clap any 7 star monster relatively safely. Blocking roars and flashes just feels like a bonus too and I’m sure a few levels in guard will make it even easier. Have to wait and see I guess.
Yeah shelling is pretty insane right now. The charge shelling playstyle is also very powerful and relatively safe. I hope they dont change the gunlance too much just balance it a bit haha
Doing this right this very second. I'm limited by story - Can't G6 bone until you finish Chapter 12, which is where I'm at, having used the bone GL from basic quests to roflstomp story. Only started a few days ago. Really loving being able to build up mats to get other weaponsets lined up.
Gunlance has always been that way; it only seems OP to someone who hasn't seen the natural progression of a Monster Hunter game. Shelling gets to ignore a lot of things like hitzones, or having to depend on a bunch of skills, but it suffers from the fact it's damage can only be scaled and increased by a handful of things. This seems powerful when everyone can only fit 5 element and a handful of skills into their gear, or wex/burst for raw weapons. It gets a whole lot less powerful when bŭilds read out like novels, and people have full WEX, 100% crit, crit boost, etc etc etc. Shelling scales with none of these things and gets left behind. This has been the case in nearly every single major mainline Monster Hunter title, with shelling needing to be buffed in the endgame of the last two. The natural progression of the game and the power scaling of our characters act as an inherent nerf to shelling. This will become more apparent as other melee weapons get to stack crit skills that take them to the moon. Shelling is fine.
@@leonfrancis3418 True, we’ll have to see if we get actual decorations soon or just get stuck with gacha-smelting. Builds are gonna be crazy in the future if we get a proper decoration system although I imagine it will also be a pain in the ass/heavily monetized feature too. I feel the same way about nerfs in general, I don’t think bow should have been nerfed but I believe it happened because potions are a money maker. That’s why I see it happening with shelling, it’s too safe and doesn’t require a lot of farming to get a good shelling build online with the bone gunlance. Maybe it would be a soft nerf like scaling shelling damage with each specific lance or weapon level instead of just grade. At the end of the day it is a mobile game and their main goal is that $$$.
Just started this game and Unlocked all weapons and its quitr overwhelmibg hard to know what to upgrade, especially since many items share same materials. I would assume focusing on one weapon type is best? Or maybe one weapon per resistance type? This is first video I watch, very good video, will watch everything you done when I get time :D any advice on where to start? :)
I’ve done one huntathon and got a bone lance ticket so using that now grade 3 5/5, i know it’s a low weapon compared to what everyone of u using but I just got excited to get a Grade 3 weapon even haha You say “bone gunlance is good” but shows an item called bone cannon, is that the same or does it change name or what does that mean m?
I just refer to the bone cannon as "bone gunlance" haha! In the early game, I suggest focusing on weapons you can upgrade fast. These weapons are the bone weapons (like the bone cannon). You can craft kulu and girros weapons and you can use them against all the monsters. For elemental weapons, you can start with jagras and tobi weapons. Jagras weapons will be great since a lot of the early monsters are weak to water. Then you can use the jagras weapons to farm and craft tobi weapons to fight the more difficult monsters like rathian and rathalos later on. These monsters I've mentioned will be easy to farm and you can easily upgrade their weapons. After that you can start to build elemental weapons and armor sets for more damage once you unlock 6 star monsters. Hope this helps! My older videos might contain outdated info. If you have any questions, just drop them in the comments section and I'd be happy to answer them :)
@@PauwerPlays first - thanks for a quick and detailed answwer, it really helps! I saw now that the bone gunlance ticket i got was from the gunlance event and not a huntathon :D. I dont even see a bone cannon gunlance except the one for free tho?:O will it come later? you gave good guidelines for weapons, do you have one for armor as well? or link a video I can watch from you =): Also, you got a discord maybe? I love to deep dive and read about theorycrafting and tips :D. ALready learned so much from just 2 videos + comments from you! thanks man.
@Silasftww there's only one bone gunlance in the game and it's most likely the one you're using :) You can check out my build playlist in my channel to get some ideas but some of them are pretty old so i suggest you start with the newer ones. For theory crafting builds, you can use the mhn.quest website. As for discord, i dont have one yet but im learning how to make one and how to properly moderate it! Discord channel coming soon!
If you ignore the rareness of materials. That depends on your playing style. Pink Rathian is better if you use thrust and wyrmstake more. If you focus on burst fire and poisoning, go for Rathian.
Imma be real, unless mhn damage calculations is different than any of the main line games, gl does not care about element. It’s shelling type, shelling level (main line), and raw. Wide is best for spamming shelling and normal is best for burst (my two personal favorites) long is charge shot and wyvern fire. As long as you can kill the monster, that’s all that should matter really. I’m saying this at a minute into the video and I’m still watching, so I might learn something new bout mhn damage calculations since some of the comments are talking about element. If element matters in mhn, then color me impressed.
@@lunamayham Im looking for a build for spamming shells and wrymstake. I believe wide is the best for that but mhn have limited raw wide GLs. Regarding the element I think pauwerplays is refferring to the wyrmstake shot it applies alot of element damage.
@@lunamayham MHN damage calculation always different than other games in the series. In MHN, all GL blast damages ignore raw/element; All GL sever damages includes raw&weakness element(some monsters even ×1.5 elemental damage). Wrymstake cannon does sever damages(the last hit is blast).
@@PauwerPlays Funnily enough, the content is great, but I almost forced myself never to click on this video due to the title. But MH Now content is pretty sparse on TH-cam. So, congrats for the content! But you might be losing interested viewers due to the clickbait tactics.
Sex sex SEX! Now that I've got your attentions... The best LONG GL by a LONGshot is the deviljho... Once you hit g8 it's 10 percent stronger than any other GL. -Affinity doesn't matter because the shells don't crit. And Dragon element doesn't matter because even though the raw is lower it'll hit the same raw as any other GL except with 10 percent more damage. So... Djho G8 GL is by far the best GL for Long type GLs.
Now I'm using Girros' GL, with a set of Status sneak attack and sneak attack, it's incredible how quickly they fall into paralysis with the Wyrmstake attack
Ikr! Wyrmstake tick damage is so good!
I yried it its good but need to get to used to it for monster that has fast movement
The cult of girros is very happy with this addition
You can quickly go into the burst fire if you shoot, immediately reload and then swipe up. You’ll skip the rising slash and do the slam instead.
That is better than starting with the rishing slash! Thanks for sharing man
This comment is amazing. No more getting hit whilst trying to wonky combo. Thank you
I do the same you said, but it perform thrust, nothing combo happened, do I missed some thing??
@@quyphuongtay Make sure you are reloading quickly after doing a shot, it should make you do the quick reload even if you still have ammo.
I don't understand this either. The game won't allow me to reload after shooting just one shell
Thanks to the help from this video, my bone cannon capabilities have doubled. Charging my shots and landing them from a distance means I can move out the way. Plus I found out that a charged attack to a burrowing Diablos means it gets stuck and is susceptible to two more charged shots before it recovers

That’s why I see it happening with shelling, it’s too safe and doesn’t require a lot of farming to get a good shelling build online with the bone gunlance. Maybe it would be a soft nerf like scaling shelling damage with each specific lance or weapon level instead of just grade.
At the end of the day it is a mobile game and their main goal is that $$$.
Just started this game and Unlocked all weapons and its quitr overwhelmibg hard to know what to upgrade, especially since many items share same materials. I would assume focusing on one weapon type is best? Or maybe one weapon per resistance type? This is first video I watch, very good video, will watch everything you done when I get time :D any advice on where to start? :)
I’ve done one huntathon and got a bone lance ticket so using that now grade 3 5/5, i know it’s a low weapon compared to what everyone of u using but I just got excited to get a Grade 3 weapon even haha
You say “bone gunlance is good” but shows an item called bone cannon, is that the same or does it change name or what does that mean m?
I just refer to the bone cannon as "bone gunlance" haha!
In the early game, I suggest focusing on weapons you can upgrade fast. These weapons are the bone weapons (like the bone cannon). You can craft kulu and girros weapons and you can use them against all the monsters. For elemental weapons, you can start with jagras and tobi weapons. Jagras weapons will be great since a lot of the early monsters are weak to water. Then you can use the jagras weapons to farm and craft tobi weapons to fight the more difficult monsters like rathian and rathalos later on. These monsters I've mentioned will be easy to farm and you can easily upgrade their weapons. After that you can start to build elemental weapons and armor sets for more damage once you unlock 6 star monsters. Hope this helps!
My older videos might contain outdated info. If you have any questions, just drop them in the comments section and I'd be happy to answer them :)
@@PauwerPlays first - thanks for a quick and detailed answwer, it really helps! I saw now that the bone gunlance ticket i got was from the gunlance event and not a huntathon :D.
I dont even see a bone cannon gunlance except the one for free tho?:O will it come later? you gave good guidelines for weapons, do you have one for armor as well? or link a video I can watch from you =): Also, you got a discord maybe? I love to deep dive and read about theorycrafting and tips :D. ALready learned so much from just 2 videos + comments from you! thanks man.
@Silasftww there's only one bone gunlance in the game and it's most likely the one you're using :)
You can check out my build playlist in my channel to get some ideas but some of them are pretty old so i suggest you start with the newer ones. For theory crafting builds, you can use the mhn.quest website.
As for discord, i dont have one yet but im learning how to make one and how to properly moderate it! Discord channel coming soon!
What is everyone’s thoughts on the sinister gunlance?
Rathian or pink rathian is better?
Pink rath with higher raw but it's gonna be difficult to upgrade
If you ignore the rareness of materials.
That depends on your playing style. Pink Rathian is better if you use thrust and wyrmstake more. If you focus on burst fire and poisoning, go for Rathian.
Do you have a Discord Server? If so, can I join?
Im planning on making one just havent gotten to it haha 😅
long range charge shots at g6 make 8 star easy
Yeah and it's so safe too!
What is your opinion on raw barroth gunlance? Do you think its viable as a raw wide GL?
Personally not a fan of raw wide. Wide gl have great wyrmstakes and without element, it's missing out on some huge dps
@@PauwerPlays thanks for the insight.
Imma be real, unless mhn damage calculations is different than any of the main line games, gl does not care about element. It’s shelling type, shelling level (main line), and raw. Wide is best for spamming shelling and normal is best for burst (my two personal favorites) long is charge shot and wyvern fire. As long as you can kill the monster, that’s all that should matter really. I’m saying this at a minute into the video and I’m still watching, so I might learn something new bout mhn damage calculations since some of the comments are talking about element. If element matters in mhn, then color me impressed.
@@lunamayham Im looking for a build for spamming shells and wrymstake. I believe wide is the best for that but mhn have limited raw wide GLs. Regarding the element I think pauwerplays is refferring to the wyrmstake shot it applies alot of element damage.
@@lunamayham MHN damage calculation always different than other games in the series.
In MHN, all GL blast damages ignore raw/element; All GL sever damages includes raw&weakness element(some monsters even ×1.5 elemental damage). Wrymstake cannon does sever damages(the last hit is blast).
what a clickbait title
Sorry gotta play the youtube game haha 😅
@@PauwerPlays Funnily enough, the content is great, but I almost forced myself never to click on this video due to the title. But MH Now content is pretty sparse on TH-cam.
So, congrats for the content! But you might be losing interested viewers due to the clickbait tactics.
The music on the background is really distracting me... even when it is soft...
Sex sex SEX! Now that I've got your attentions... The best LONG GL by a LONGshot is the deviljho... Once you hit g8 it's 10 percent stronger than any other GL. -Affinity doesn't matter because the shells don't crit. And Dragon element doesn't matter because even though the raw is lower it'll hit the same raw as any other GL except with 10 percent more damage. So... Djho G8 GL is by far the best GL for Long type GLs.
💀
First
Thanks for the support man!
watching this after i forged the Blue Rook I 🥲
Aw it's all good. You'll just have a hard time upgrading it haha
