Ok some additional information: 1. Perfect guard/Perfect counter thrust activates Offensive Guard. The normal guard/counter thrust can't activate OG. Also, OG only buffs raw attack. 2. You can swipe left and right while you're in a dash attack(non SP) to.... simulate a lane change in the highway? idk. but i guess that helps if you do not have lock on and has a specific part you want to hit.
I think its better than in the main line series, because it is not a heavy weapon and the monster always stares you down so you don't have to chase it around the map. I also love how it is essentially Monster Hunter boxing, cuz of the blocking, counters and 3 hit combo. Let's fucking gooooo!
Lance is the most technical weapon amd if you play it correctly it has the potential to be the highest damage dealing out of all, it's a good balance. You can go raw, stack offensive guard and heroics and some resentment. I heard some time ago that at least in the main series only the lance changes it's damage type from cutting to blunt or viceversa depending of the highest damaging one for the part you are hitting. I haven't tested it yet, but in theory for diablos you would do hammer levels of dmg hitting the head and you don't have to aim for body, which wouldn't be a problem either because of the high range of your attacks. Imo lance is the best thing from the update, and it also is by far the most fun/challenging to play
In main games it does Piercing damage, which does in fact swap between Slash/Blunt depending on the part being hit, so it can cut tails and break hard horns. However it doesn't deal much KO/Stun. Only the main game Shield bashes have any level of KO damage. The downside to piercing damage, you suffer from huge Sharpness loss, especially when you get bounced from a too hard part. Can easily go from Purple/Blue sharpness to White/Green in less than 10 pokes depending on the monster parts hit. Like the extra angry monkey arms, there's a few Lances where the top tiers of sharpness gauge, you can audibly hear break down 1-3 levels from a single Leaping Thrust, which uses more sharpness, because it cant deflect. @@shawnzyplays
Lance is fine with as low as one level of guard. You only need to go guard Lv3 against Great Jagras/Tobi Kadachi/Diablos/Radobaan/Banbaro. The only move that need more than guard Lv3 is Diablos/Rathalos roar, their roar for some reason, has the most broken amount of knockback.
Just an advice to lance users: guard 1 is enough to not be moved (doing the counter guard) by almost all the attacks of the monsters beside Zinogre slams, Diablos and Pink Rathian tail swipe to the air. Some other attacks like Paolumu aerial slam or Legiana aerial charge will deal some dmg to you also, but you just evade those and you are good to go. Guard 3 is the safe option, above that is overkill
I like running lance with bubbly dance 3, evade extender, and skyward strike. By no means optimal but you can slide all the away around the monster while performing a charge which looks hilarious. Oh and it also makes the yeet at the end of the power do like 3k.
I have a question, which is a better build for lance.. Guard/Offensive guard build or divine blessing build? I currently run Divine Blessing lvl 5 build, which improves my guard when shielding, plus increases the chance of lowering the damage I recieve. I'm genuinely curious. I'll do my own testing also, but just wanted you guys' thoughts.... I'm not a genius lol
Not a genius too. Divine blessing is based on a chance while guard always lowers the knockback and dmg received. The fun part is to experiment with the diff builds. If DB5 works for you, use it!
Db3 is all you need. 5 is a waste of parts. I currently run db3 with rathalos helm for damage and rathian gloves for burst and lock on. This is while i still dont have resentment parts which i think would be better than db builds
2:02 the dash thrust is such a difficult move to consistently do, could you elaborate on this? My understanding is: Guard (with no knock back)-> swipe up -> tap Is that right? I tried practicing with different monsters and can only do it about 20-30% of the time 😢
Yeah it seems like thats the way to do it. I could be wrong tho. I found out that you could guard and swipe left/right after a non-knockback guard too!
I'm just really confused and curious, how the heck did you get that girl voice to work so well? What did you do? Program? Uhh. I want to see how I sound as a girl, not asking for a friend, I'm being straight up honest
I just notice the voice transition to AI female voice so smooth, I laugh xDD Anyway, is the power guard also have perfect guard and normal guard? I just notice many time, some my power guard doesn't receive damage, some is same as normal guard, receive damage, sometime it can't even perform counter thrust
@@shawnzyplays lol, sorry, I see another video called it as "Power Guard", I mean this 2:31, when you charging shield and do counter thrust, sometime it count as normal guard, receive damage, sometime it invincible, I'm not sure if there's perfect guard for that or not?
@quyphuongtay oh I'm not sure on the name but I thought power guard is where in main game u squat and use the shield to cover your entire body. Stamina drains super fast too. If you want to lower the chip dmg, or maybe even get no dmg then you'll have to time the guard/counter thrust such that you guard right when the monster connects with you. Then you'll see some blue effects too. That would signify a perfect guard/perfect counter thrust
Can't make that guide. I'm downing pots left and right. I'm gonna take a short break. This update made me drink more pots than I had drunk since the beginning of this game.
@itskeicoffee yeah may be overkill. Don't forget there's the 75s timer too. I'll suggest you to start with guard 3+ attack skills. Then work from there. Adjust accordingly!
Ok some additional information:
1. Perfect guard/Perfect counter thrust activates Offensive Guard. The normal guard/counter thrust can't activate OG. Also, OG only buffs raw attack.
2. You can swipe left and right while you're in a dash attack(non SP) to.... simulate a lane change in the highway? idk. but i guess that helps if you do not have lock on and has a specific part you want to hit.
I've tried holding the counter hit thing, but I can't hear any indicator. It just let's it rip on it's own.
i suddenly got focus 5 when i hear shawnzy girl voice
bro think of your grandma to calm yourself down!
i have never been able to pay attention to the video so well until now.
Thank you for making this comprehensive guide. Saves me resources and time in making end game builds.
Glad to help!

Yoooo I love this idea. I'm a big fan of boxing 🥊 maybe that's why this became by favorite weapon so quick
The one thing that main series has over mhnow lance is the guarding evade that links into leaping thrust

Been looking for early game builds forever! Finally! Thankyou!!
Hey guys. Seems like you guys like female me better. Wth it's not supposed to be like that. Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!
The Female voice sound so refreshing … like it
U need to set ur voice to x1.5 too..
@@zhenxuan1375 is it too soft? I'm always afraid the volume will be too loud.
@@shawnzyplaysas in speed, volume its fine
@zhenxuan1375 oh my bad. Ok I'll try to speak a little quicker.
Never want to subscribe to this channel until he hired this hot lady narrator. You know the audience! Subscribed!
wait no. its not supposed to be like that..
The voice is working!
I like running lance with bubbly dance 3, evade extender, and skyward strike. By no means optimal but you can slide all the away around the monster while performing a charge which looks hilarious. Oh and it also makes the yeet at the end of the power do like 3k.
Feels like evade extender is abit of an overkill since you get extended evade with bubbly dance 3. Would it be better to get more resuscitate?
@@shawnzyplays It's just a fun gimmick, resuscitate 3 is a main stay.
we need the DS guide asap, my lord!
This is my first time watching this channel. I like the persons voice! The start was weird tho, it sounded like a dude.
wa-wait a min. hold up sir. thats me :(
Man I feel sorry for that Wulg eating a special skill 😂
yeah tbh he was just minding his own business and then suddenly there's this guy with a huge stick charging towards him. poor Wulg
Swipe down while dashing stops your character and will actually guarding for a small period of time

@@HAVATITE that's literally the build I'm runnin now. Lock on and attack lvl2 are a nice combo, making those counters beefy

Just tap and after guard animation go swipe up and tap once

there's a voice changer in capcut. just record your voice, and use the voice changer there. :)

can you do an update to this with driftsmelt

Anyway, is the power guard also have perfect guard and normal guard? I just notice many time, some my power guard doesn't receive damage, some is same as normal guard, receive damage, sometime it can't even perform counter thrust
There is no power guard in this game.. hmm do you mean perfect counter thrust?

@@shawnzyplays So there's actually 2 perfect guard type existed in this game, one on normal guard, one on counter thrust guard
@@quyphuongtay yup!!
For a raw build with off guard is better pukei or barroth lance for full raw??
based on stats alone, barroth has the highest raw when compared with kulu and pukei. But pukei has poison so that may be valuable too!
OHHHHHHH BEST CONTENT EVER

Thank you!!!!! I think you're the only one who noticed it :')
When i tested guard skill yesterday, i found No damage reduction..
What do you think about that? ㅠ
means..... that the dmg you receive using guard vs not using guard is the same?
Wait a minute, did you catch a cold. You sounded different this time.
Lady shawnzy sounds...
..hot omg
Think of your grandma.
I really feel like they should buff RAW, Elemental damage is too op
Yeah! 100%
@@shawnzyplaysimagine how much better the builds could be if RAW damage is in the same level as Elemental damage
@spoopyd.8910 yeah I don't think they'll want that. Everyone would just play 1 raw weapon and that's it.

I was about to go offensive guard 5🥲 i guess thats a bad idea huh
That's fine if you are gold with perfect guard/perfect counter thrust!
Also note that offensive guard buffs only raw attack portion of your weapon!
@@shawnzyplays it's also possible to go for guard 5 is it viable? Or just overkill?
@itskeicoffee yeah may be overkill. Don't forget there's the 75s timer too. I'll suggest you to start with guard 3+ attack skills. Then work from there. Adjust accordingly!
