I can’t tell you how inspiring you are putting all this effort into one of the worse match ups for lance. I’ve killed maybe 2 MR lunastras because I can’t stand her hit zones with my lance. You make me want to be better 👍🏻 well done
Despite barely enjoying the fight in base World, something clicked for me. I suppose that I finally wanted to get better against her as well, and this is the end result. While she does have a couple of quick effective moves (such as the near instant ground flame attack), I've noticed that you have to be in certain situations before she tries said attack; and the lance is very good at dealing with preemptive actions.
For me as well, this fight became much more tolerable in MR. I fully expected to hate fighting Lunastra, but all of her attacks feel like they have reasonable counterplay now. My two biggest issues with Luna in HR were the lack of a consistently accessible weakpoint and a lack of counterplay to the supernova. In MR, we can tenderize the face to proc weakness exploit, and her supernova only has two blasts of wind pressure, so you have time to eat a max potion during it or hit her with health augment. MR Luna is definitely hard, and I wouldn't farm her for decos or anything, but it's become a lot more of a fun challenge rather than a frustrating one in my opinion
This is the goal right here. Beautiful fight. I'm getting my ass kicked rn. I think I'm gonna see if I can get better gear first. Doing Blue Prominence quest.
Not that you asked, but I went to augment and upgrade my armour. Even better, I used your counter claw trick on the tail swipe move. Freakin worked! Good shit mate. Was having my soul ripped by her claws. Thank you.
How come she never did her nova? Is it just a case of totally dps her out and not give her the chance? Awesome lance play btw, I lanced since mhw released, solo everything including behemoth. But hit a wall vs rajang, he broke me in iceborne so bad with his tackles and stamina draining moves, so I figured I was missing out on other weapons, tried all of them. But now i have learned everything, your videos bought me back and now with everything I learned, I feel alot better than I ever was with lance, i solod behemoth pre iceborne without even knowing guard dash, which I picked up from seeing you do it, really took me to the next level. I really want to get into speed running! Just trying to get used to being more mobile instead of relying on guard all the time and getting frustrated when I get tackled through it. Congrats man!
Yea, you can out-dps her nova; although if you're near a stagger or she just got staggered, then it sets up a potentially high damage moment with either an air-stagger that will keep her grounded, or she'll take free hits while she's sitting there doing her nova. I can say that Iceborne did set up some threats to even Guard 5 + Guard Up users, but the best thing about Lance is that it can even deal with that w/o having to block due to its mobility. I'll admit that I was initially frustrated as well with Rajang's slam-jam attack when its rage is maxed out, but eventually my nerves calmed down and I wanted to think of a way to ignore said attack. Now I'm at the point with Rajang that it's lucky to even do said attack at all, but at least I know now to back-hop + Advancing Guard backwards for safety. Anywho, keep on lancing! I'm glad to hear that you broke through your wall.
@@KCGemini thankyou for your reply, you say when she is near a stagger, how do you know when she is near? Is there a sign I was missing? Or at your level you just know you have laid such a beating that one is coming? Yes, it's only my second with lance I have tried to really get used to its mobility options into my muscle memory, I'll go back to rajang in a few weeks when I have caught up my lance builds and got my last few crowns while the event is on! Thanks alot for your content it's really helped me enjoy the game again!
@@Sam-yr8ls Whoops. Sorry for missing this reply. I'm usually guessing the number of hits, although Offensive Guard + Coalescence can throw off that number somewhat.
It's a few seconds slower, but I like that you have to deal with less random Luna shenanigans because I'm a stickler for consistency. I'm going to be aiming for sub-7 with MR Kulve's weapons.
@@KCGemini what about using Safi'jiiva's skill against Luna? Have you ever tried? I knew it would be so risky. I'm going to get sub 7 with GS as well atm. Huh
@Dichie Shiori I've tried. Even in the best circumstances, you'll slowly get burned to a crisp due to repeated Solar Flares or ground fires + Safi's health drain. There are even times when you can get such bad RNG that normal Health Regen barely keeps you alive. Looking forward to your GS run my dude!
@@KCGemini weeeeeh. I think so that flare would be a nightmare. 😹 So hard to get a clean run with GS. 😣 Still looking for a best strat to fight her well.
I imagine that due to her head turning, she would be vulnerable to a Crit Draw GS set, preferably with Frostcraft for the extra damage potential. You could shoulder tackle the Solar Flares and get more of a charge for increased damage. I also think that you'd benefit from extending the clagger state for free damage, because you'd get a good chunk of damage out of it. Other than that, I'm out of ideas. Some of her attacks are going to make getting a clean run a pain.
the one of the best fight i have ever saw with lunastra . Masterpiece

I love this so much!!! I've never felt inspiration like I have here.
The patience... So little greed. Well played!
Can't shake it all the way. Sometimes it rewards you, and other times you end up getting tossed like a rag doll.

Great run!
Madness? No, this is--
Nevermind, it really is madness.
The struggle continues!
Your videos are amazing
Nice run like every time
It still has a few rough spots, but at least it's due to hill shenanigans rather than greed/sloppiness.
I'm having a blast with it, pun intended.
Ho yea sand dunes i want to kill me every times
This video makes me want to equip Lance so bad
There's never a bad time to try it!
1:51 how did you shot the claw ? i only get option to counter claw
Instead of pressing O, press R3.
@@KCGemini nvm and im on pc (xbox controller :p )
have to press the aim button once shield up
thanks

Amazing work. How is your stamina and health regenerating so quickly?
I use a Dash Juice for stamina, and health is just regenerating quickly because I'm being aggressive.
Amazing, finally a Lance main.
Can you solo safijiva with Lance? Is it possible?
Unfortunately, it is not. Safi has so much HP that the only weapon that can currently solo it is the LBG with the Stormslinger.
How do you clutch claw without sheathing? Every time I try it with the lance I can't get it to actually fire.
Hold L2, then press R3, then press O.
