The only thing I can add as someone with almost 1000 Lance hunts, some really strong monster attacks can't be guarded the further into the game you get, so naturally a lot of people take the skill guard up that lets you guard them. But when you do your guard plus A, and go into the counter attack stance. Simply press B to go into you're super block stance. It drains your stamina while you'rein it, but you can block even the strongest attacks. Letting you free up slots in your builds for things like sharpness management. Elemental damage and even free meal and wide range if you wanted to be a little more "supporty" and flexible. I really hope this helps. It's one of my all time favorite weapons and these 5 minute guides are essential to getting newcomers into weapons.
does this require a certain skill or something? I'm playing on kbm so my inputs are different but I'm doing what I'm pretty sure is my B aka rmb and I don't enter any kind of super block? or maybe it was added in Sunbreak?
NGL, as a gunlance main I didn't think I would ever try the Vanilla Lance, but here I am. these 5 minute mini guides are easy to digest and makes it less stressful trying out new weapons. Great stuff.
Such a breath of fresh air to get 5 minute video tutorials on the weapons that are actually GOOD tutorials. Every time i wanna try a new weapon, but see 40 minute videos, I'm like " guess we're doing this alone." instead of guidance from youtubers :p.
As a Lance main, I'm happy about this video. You showed the moves with clear button inputs, the arts and you showed the good and bad when playing the Lance.
Thank you for this guide. I finally feel like I've understood a weapon after this. Most people make guides and they just go on and on about the weapons capabilities, I just wanna know how to use it.
Maybe I missed it but I think it's very important to note that the parry cancel can be used to reset your poke trios, allowing you to just keep going as long as you want
Lance's charge can reverse direction if you push move and click dodge opposite to the direction that you are changing. Your character does 180°. It comes in handy if you miss a charge and want to get back into it quickly.
When pressing ZR+A and than B it enters an additional countermove. This one drains constantly stamina but blocks an multitude of attacks. Perfect when opposing an barrage of attacks. After this you can go with a strong poke by releasing your guard stance with x.
I accidentally used this as a MHW guide when I started, turns out it works SURPRISINGLY WELL for a MHW guide, without the clutch claw of course, but this got me through my first few monsters lol I plan on playing rise shortly after getting through world, so I already feel great about trying lance in rise :) (P.S. thanks for the all input guides)
MHR is my very first MH series and i pick Lance because my friend told me so (he said that there are alr a lot player with sword and he pick bow himself, so i should pick lance and i did lol) and this is exactly what i'm looking for. the very basic movement with lance and clear explanation. thank you so much for creating this content
For evading purposes after an attack you can do after the attack ZR+x to any side then side + b so you can protect yourself for the first half of the complete manouver
one thing I'd mention is you pretty much always want to to the high pokes with A, the hitbox is basically the same but it does more damage. I never hit X lol
While this is true, sometimes your positioning serves an X attack better. You have to be a few feet closer to hit A attacks. So when you're not quite in range, X can still be used. It's lower dps, but low is better than 0. That's what I always keep in mind.
I do have a full Lance guide for how I play on my channel, there are a few recommendations I can make for a quick guide. The ZL+X Switch skill is complete trash. It costs too much and benefits too little. You can literally do everything that move does with a Wirefall or Sheathed WireJump for 1 bug and 75% less cooldown. Leap into an attack, leap into a charge, or leap into a shield charge dealing KO damage too. You can even Wirebug jump into B for dodge roll for more distance and still follow up with the shield dash, doesn't work on wirefall though. Never use ZL + X. It's probably the worst switch skill in the entire game unfortunately. One other thing is, use guard dash in place of slotting evade extender, it moves you about as far and has mobility followups that are safe due to blocking and allow for immediate attacks with the lunge strike. Guard dash also resets all rule of 3 scenarios allowing you to never hit that frame lag of a 3rd hit. If you poke 3 times guard dash to reset :D the same can be done with a spiral thrust or any other wirebug skill but guard dash is an amazing positioning tool using G5 Gup1 will have your Lance be almost cart proof if you do a lot of shield play.
I personally like zr+x for large/flying monsters with high heads. The shield charge works surprisingly well for guarding attacks in the air, and if the recoil cancels it, you just cancel that recoil into another charge, as long as you're in the air. Overall, it's fun and safe to use, and while it isn't nearly as effective as spiral thrust spam, nothing can compare to the feeling of chasing allmother narwa into the sky with a single leap and canceling her supernova with a ko.
Thanks this is my day 38 of trying to defeat for the first time encounter primordial malzeno by myself i tried LS, SA, DB, insect glaive and GS all failed he is just too strong i know some of you got a party of pro but yeah
Lance was my first self help weapon back in Tri. As a solo hunter, I was having a hard time against Diablos, specifically that tail, so I decided to chop it off. Lance was the weapon to get me confortable with that hunt and I always like to reserve for the end game, since it is very very different from the other weapons and it's a LOT of fun. Not sure about the new world, but the best skills in the old world were Mind's Eye, Steady Hand, Handycraft and Edge Lore... Those either gave you more sharpness, made you not bounce off of monsters or just made it harder to lose your overall sharpness, making it a lot of fun to charge even at downed monsters to abuse that tail and cut it off with one single charge
Absolutely agree with the self help weapon stuff! Lance helped me a lot with the difficulty of soloing master rank in icebourne. It's an awesome weapon to use to safely learn about a monster's behaviours 🙂 plus the ability to stick to the monster like glue and just not care about its attacks is so cool 🙂
@@KingRobRool Lance is great, and I didn't even mention that in underwater combat, you can become A HUMAN TORPEDO! It's the most fun if not second most fun weapon to use underwater back in Tri/3U
@@KingRobRool Gunlance in my opinion is the weapon that can either be the first or second most fun underwater weapon, you have a lot of mobility with the uppercut strike going forward and you can aim 360° the Wyvern Blast Shot (Forgot the actual name), as long as it charges, you can aim it in any direction for perfect precision, it's insane. Meanwhile, Lance you become a human torpedo when you charge, but with a lower turn radius than on land (lower but not by much). I can't remember if you can only switch left or right while in torpedo mode but it feels like you pick up more speed than on land
Thanks for the guide! I Was always curious about the Lance since I started playing in 4 Ultimate on the 3DS, I main hammer (because ungabunga, my brain dont need think) but then in Rise I began to expand my pool ALOT with the wirebug skills to things like Gunlance and Sword + Sheild, but I wanted to try lance for the longest time.. thanks for the help!
At 2:13 I dont know if its different on Ps4 but its not possible for me to do the leaping thrust and the following attack. After i shield dash it only does the normal lance thrust and i cant do it

Hahaha yeah a lot transfers from world surprisingly! You're welcome and happy hunting 🙂
I'm a diehard fan of evade extender Lance builds. And rise made it feel good again

For evading purposes after an attack you can do after the attack ZR+x to any side then side + b so you can protect yourself for the first half of the complete manouver
The jumps during your charge have mind's eye(won't bounce) and Twin Vine (ZL+X) pairs well with the shield charge Switch Skill for stun Damage
Great info!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I really can't understate how helpful these 5 min guides are.
I really appreciate these, I've started using weapons I never thought I could figure out before.
That's amazing! Thanks for the comment, it makes my day to hear stuff like this :)

I feel this but on something like jyuratodus it's really hard to hit upwards pokes unless you're in it's face
This vids are amazing truly No Nonsense, I am using weapons I had never used in MH, awesome!
Thanks so much! Glad you're finding them useful 😁
Great video as usual! I hope you get more visibility!

Jeez the lance slaps. Always thought it was boring but Lunagaron just got poked the fuck up!
Been on dual blades in Rise but wanted a change. This has my attention.
You got the fact the Lance's movement is it's core. Congrats.

Ah, then it seems I was not misguided by how good gunlance felt underwater 😛 either way, it beats underwater greatsword by a long shot 😂
Thanks man. It was a bit confusing figuring out the controls since I'm on PC with a ps5 controller but I figured it out xD
Might be a bad time to mention there's a link in the description with ps5 controls included 😅
Awwww, I wish I had known sooner xD Oh well, I appreciate your guide all the same@@KingRobRool
Just gonna comment on the fashion set you have going on. You are lookin cool with that bazel lance!
Thanks! It's mostly a Damascus set with a Magnamalo helm. Pretty baddass right? 😛

Back hop is boss for lancers. I think you have to change movement controls in the menu to take advantage of it though. Imma lancer from Tri. :)
I think you forgot during charging dash you can turn around or turn sideways
Perfect guard and silk bind is literally all you need. Say goodbye to chip damages lol
I keep forgetting to use ZL + A
I’m addicted to your playlist Robert thanks a lot I was retarded in mhr but now I m great at all weapons also please play mhfg
i heard of a move called "Power Guard" vut I can't figure out how to do it
At 2:13 I dont know if its different on Ps4 but its not possible for me to do the leaping thrust and the following attack. After i shield dash it only does the normal lance thrust and i cant do it
you can almost completely tank an anjanths beam thingy with a rank 5 lance, so i feel unkillable when using it
what controllers are you people using?
When you have to describe your own work as “no nonsense”, you know it’s a lie.
Helpful info, anyway.
I poke and i poke.
As my ancestors before me.
Lance mains: Am I wrong for wanting to lance just because the funny charge?
Lance is cool weapon i don't understand why people sleep on this weapon
Very confusing to me when you dont have button input translation for other consoles lol
There is a link to a video in the description that has that
Lance mains are hard-core af
tbh lance doesn't even need 5 minutes - a 30 second guide could do the trick
2:56 wtf was that
vIrTUaLy uNtOucHabLE ok bub that's a lie
Well at least high rank and beyond
