I picked up the lance because this is how I want to play: glued to the monster, constantly attacking, counter, repeat. It's so simple to describe but much more difficult to execute. Great job!
Agreed! Finally picked up lance in MHR with Sunbreak after vibing mostly with LBG and Bow since they helped me get a feel for how the monsters move (first monster hunter game). Lance learning was still pretty rough at first, but I'm having a blast with it now, and whenever I'm off of it I wish I was back lol
It's so refreshing to see lance being played without Spiral Thrust spamming. This is what Lance should have been like since base Rise. Out of curiosity, why are you mostly using the multi-hitting poke from the back hop instead of a charged sweep whenever Rajang is flailing on the ground? Does the multi-hitting poke do more DPS overall?
It does good elemental damage, and I was having difficulty hitting his head instead of arms with the sweep at times so I decided to use mostly Leaping Thrust (or regular pokes if I needed to restore stamina).
Likely to hit weak spot. And leap poke got buffed a lot.3 poke uses only 1 sharpness, also dose 3 times damage compared to regular poke. Which used to consume 3 sharpness and did 1 regular poke damage before buff
First off, excellent damn play. Secondly, you play with the same style and switch skills I do which makes me very happy(and i assume its for the precision of it). The anxiety I felt knowing you were gonna let that health drain to 1 was unreal. All that combined and that was the most glued to a speedrun I've ever been. Big kudos/subbed/my hero. Thanks for making a fellow lancer really proud.
This was one of the coolest runs I've seen since Sunbreak released (and I watch a lot of speedruns). When I saw you delay at 1:52, I realised you were on another level. Awesome work.
I barely comment on yt and never wanted to try lance on any MH series before. But your run totally mesmerized me bro. Everything was damn smooth and so perfect. The dodge and guard at 2:27 and double guard at 3:30 made me a goosebumps. Thank you for sharing such an awesome work!
The masterful understanding of your weapon, the monster's attacks, timings/button inputs. My deep dive into Rise/Sunbreak is gonna be hundreds of hours and dozens of builds.
I just got back into Rise on PC after initially playing it on Switch. Just bought Sunbreak once I got far enough again too. I feel you about the deep dive. I want to play every weapon lol.
Well done! Lance is so fun in sunbreak! The levels of elemental damage and the increased window on insta-block have helped a ton without even talking about the new moves.
Smooth as silk, great run! I actually learned a lot from how you handle the multi hit charge of Rajang. Personally have a lot of trouble with moves like that
God this is super cool, great job. I love the multiple instablocks into the anchor rage on his spinny charge attack. Love watching Lance runs without spiral thrust
Thanks for the gameplay, im feeling clunky those days and losing faith in my lance because of how stiff i feel when multi carting for no reason. I appreciate to see some lance gameplay lkke this !
Awesome run! I really have to go back to Guard dash after messing with shield tackle, looks crazy good with elemental lances. Unrelated to the run, but do the 3 hits from Leaping Thrust each count separately toward bonuses of the type "after 5 hits" like Chain Crit or the Daora rampage deco?
@@ZebraQuake Great run. May I ask how are you doing back step straight into leaping thrust? I have to shield tackle before being able to leaping thrust. If you could explain that would be extremely helpful.
i start watching your video when im playing mhw,i love your ig playstyle and i know SB lance is fun,hopefully one day i still can watch your ig in SB.sorry for my poor english😂
At the end of an attack, do a backwards guard dash by holding guard then press X while holding back on the left control stick, then press A to do a leaping thrust, then you can guard dash backwards again and repeat. (The buttons I mentioned are the Switch controller layout)
i'm picking up lance elemental atm and was wondering what to use for my ice weapon, does it math out that the Zamite lance edges past Lunargaron even without purple? not going for a speedrun build but just curious for a general use elemental build
Can I ask why you don't use the charged-up slap attack with the lance when the monster is downed? If I recall correctly, it's supposed to deal more dmg than the leaping thrust (though it is one of your most damaging moves).
I really dislike regular Rajang. It has no breaks or recovery between its attacks so you spend the entire time just avoiding attacks with no real chance to get any satisfying payoff.
I have to ask because i’m curious about it but I noticed when you sharpened you used a whetfish and not a whetstone, is using the whetstone not allowed in the rules or is there some advantage to using the whetfish over it?
The Lunagaron lance is pretty good here, but it turned out that the much lower element ended up offsetting the gain from purple sharpness when I tested it. It also dropped to white for a bit due to the length of the hunt. That won't always hold true, though. There may be matchups or even sets within the same matchup that outperform with a purple sharpness weapon, but there are many factors in play.
I see, well thanks for the answer! I am myself experimenting alot with element so i was corius to know the reasoning behind your weapon of choice for these speedrun
Are Guard and Guard Up useful for you? I haven't seen them in your builds, and I thought you needed them to block certain attacks without getting knocked back too hard.
Guard Up wouldn't be that helpful here because the chip damage would kill me anyway due to Dereliction. As for Guard, there are definitely times where you need higher levels of it to help with Guard Dash/Spiral Thrust even in a speedrun, but I chose to rely on Insta-block for those moves entirely instead this time. In a non-speedrun setting, I would use at least Guard 3 and Guard Up for comfort.
Nice run. Is this Tool Assisted? Was just wondering because of the thumbnail, not sure what TA Wiki Rules would mean otherwise. Good run either way though.
Is Guard Dash better than Shield Tackle? I never saw you using Shield Tackle in your videos. Yet all people are saying that Guard Dash is prefferable over Shield Tackle on every build.
The reason why MANY use Shied Tackle is simply the ease of using it to target a better hitzone. The MAJOR reason why Guard Tackle is better in terms of true value is PURELY Elemental based. If you're using Raw Lance to learn a monster, Shield Tackle. When you are grinding it with an element, Guard Tackle. When you're speed running, it 100% depends on HOW you're going to pinpoint a hit zone and go nuts.

As an SnS main, I’ve always thought about giving the lance a try. This wasn’t a fight, it was a God damn execution. Well done!
Do it, you'll fall in love with how in control you feel when lancing
Ya i'm a gunlance and sns main and for the first time in a while lance actually look really fucking cool
Tried Lance after maining Swaxe in MHW. It's really refreshing somehow, just tanking almost every incoming attack instead of dodging.
I picked up the lance because this is how I want to play: glued to the monster, constantly attacking, counter, repeat. It's so simple to describe but much more difficult to execute. Great job!
as did i, then i fought a nargacuga and just stood there limply holding my shaft as he flew around the map leaper everywhere.

@@Jitszu Lance is my crutch whenever i am having trouble clearing a hunt (and has been a for a few MH iterations). It never fails to deliver ^^

(It also conserves sharpness as all three hits count as 1 sharpness knock.)

Thanks capcom add all Lance motion damage expect Spiral Thurst
Yeah, I hope spiral thrust doesn't make a return in the next MH game. Really made lance into something it shouldn't be

You just have the ability to make lance run looks mesmerizing and fun, great job as always Zebra! that Monke can't even put a dent in your health!

This is art
It’s so awesome to see Lance actually played like Lance. Thank you sir for doing God’s work.

Love it. Great run. Your stamina usage/conservation is impressive here. My eyes were glued to the stamina bar for a while there towards the end.
God this is super cool, great job. I love the multiple instablocks into the anchor rage on his spinny charge attack. Love watching Lance runs without spiral thrust
Excellent Lance play! Learned a new way to poke the monke from this so thanks!
I havnt played lance since MHFU and now you’re making me reconsider.
Hats off sir. As a lance main, I can barely handle the skill you've displayed haha. So simple yet so destructive, I learned a lot. thanks my man.
Thanks for the gameplay, im feeling clunky those days and losing faith in my lance because of how stiff i feel when multi carting for no reason. I appreciate to see some lance gameplay lkke this !
Oh my god, thank you for showing me that we can do other things than spiral thrust haha, great run!
Furious Rajang? I sleep
Running out of stamina? REAL SHIT
One or m'y favorite runs in Sunbreak so far, you sure did put in the work on that run, now i want them to add Hellblade in Sunbreak in August 😆
First lance speedrun I’ve seen and it look so fresh
That was amazing Zebra senpai!
i love the shark lance, so much underrated
Interesting way to approach the matchup and another great run !
Like a dance. This is impeccable
Nice run 👍
You certainly know your way around a pointy stick
Jesus Christ this is some legendary gameplay. This is how lance is supposed to be played. Actually insane skills
I ve learned some new stuff here thx mate
a very clean run 👍
Love these speedruns
Curious if you’re going to make the best elemental lance builds video anytime soon
I would love to use some of your builds! :)
DUDE THAT IS SO AQESOME BEEN WATCHING YOUR RECENT VIDS RECENTLY AND THEY ARE ALL AMAZING! ALSO THE MUSIC IS FIIIIIIIRRRREEEE!! 💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
great job man, love the content and this was amazing to watch
What a nice run and nice music!
Really happy to have a lance video with music from SSH (FF6 Decisive Battle arranged by SSH). I do love both.
I think you might be the best lance player i've ever seen :0
Ngl, those numbers from Leaping Thrust is actually pretty insane
Gave a like for the final fantasy music and Lance game play. Gave a comment for the algorithm lol
Lance speedruns are just something else
just reached 1.5k uses and this makes me wanna practice even more, exceptional lancing!
reached my 1k uses, still got hit alot... im noob...
I’m a long sword main that has recently picked up with the Lance your flow is incredible
This was honestly flawless wow!
Awesome run! I really have to go back to Guard dash after messing with shield tackle, looks crazy good with elemental lances.
Unrelated to the run, but do the 3 hits from Leaping Thrust each count separately toward bonuses of the type "after 5 hits" like Chain Crit or the Daora rampage deco?
Each hit of Leaping Thrust counts individually towards both, so it's very easy to have good Chain Crit uptime if using Guard Dash.
@@ZebraQuake Great run. May I ask how are you doing back step straight into leaping thrust? I have to shield tackle before being able to leaping thrust. If you could explain that would be extremely helpful.
@@sleepyrhythms6668 You can block-advance backwards with Shield Dash.
@@TornaitSuperBird Thank you!
Back hop stabby stabby looks very funny
This was unreasonably clean.. fugging mazaballs
Awesome run!!!
i start watching your video when im playing mhw,i love your ig playstyle and i know SB lance is fun,hopefully one day i still can watch your ig in SB.sorry for my poor english😂
Nice lance gameplay!
wow that was really brutal!
How do you do the stationary combo at 3:40?
At the end of an attack, do a backwards guard dash by holding guard then press X while holding back on the left control stick, then press A to do a leaping thrust, then you can guard dash backwards again and repeat. (The buttons I mentioned are the Switch controller layout)
@@SheepyMcSheeperton Ooooo Thanks a lot!!! I've been trying out the lance lately! And this combo seems really cool! I'm gonna try that out tonight!
@@SheepyMcSheeperton THANK YOU
@@ghosty2448 No problem!
That all red Hp is making my right hand twitch haha
amazing fight!
I live for such clean lance gameplay. ✨
How do you go straight into jumping thrust right after a back step? I can only seem to do it after doing a shield tackle.
U can guard dash backwards. It's different to sheidl tackle.
Amazing foot work 👌
Freaking amazing run as usual. SSH rules too
Masterful work.
2:19 is peak Lance play.
Awesome playing!! This took me 24min as a casual :D
Badass is not enough to describe this guy seriously
Absolutely flawless 😍
Upvoted for the final fantasy track first, monkey poking second.
Lance and Greatsword runs against Rajang are the two times that I actually feel bad for that bastard XD
Ggs dude absolute fking clean
Lance? This is the living dragonator if I ever see one
I love lance and ff6, this video is for me.
This hunter is the guild’s final weapon
Oh wow, how do you do that backstep+thrust combo???
Lance plus FF6 decisive battle is fire 🔥
omg zebraaa its been so long
What is that jump attack you keep using? I've never seen that before.
While im not a speed runner i think i learned a few new things.
That's where the dragonator went
yoou're a freaking beast.
i'm picking up lance elemental atm and was wondering what to use for my ice weapon, does it math out that the Zamite lance edges past Lunargaron even without purple? not going for a speedrun build but just curious for a general use elemental build
Can I ask why you don't use the charged-up slap attack with the lance when the monster is downed? If I recall correctly, it's supposed to deal more dmg than the leaping thrust (though it is one of your most damaging moves).
Any tips for nailing the timing on the counter thrust? I can never seem to get that right in any hunts and instead just use offensive guard.
Beautiful
This is the best lance hunt I have ever seen. I cannot stand spiral thrust.
This is beautiful
they could explain how he makes that jump-back movement and fast 3-stroke stoke, that movement is made but I don't do it so fast... Please
What an incredible run! I have to ask, what are your thoughts on Furious Rajang compared to regular Rajang in Sunbreak?
I really dislike regular Rajang. It has no breaks or recovery between its attacks so you spend the entire time just avoiding attacks with no real chance to get any satisfying payoff.
Insanely good!
how do you spam the evade backwards and thrust forward with the lance, thank you
At 2.24 how are you doing multiple counters like that. When I try I always get smacked by a follow up. Teach me the way!
I have to ask because i’m curious about it but I noticed when you sharpened you used a whetfish and not a whetstone, is using the whetstone not allowed in the rules or is there some advantage to using the whetfish over it?
I see you use white sharpness weapons, why is that? Would not be purple sharpness with pp or master touch better for damage?
The Lunagaron lance is pretty good here, but it turned out that the much lower element ended up offsetting the gain from purple sharpness when I tested it. It also dropped to white for a bit due to the length of the hunt.
That won't always hold true, though. There may be matchups or even sets within the same matchup that outperform with a purple sharpness weapon, but there are many factors in play.

@@ZebraQuake Thanks for the advice!
So the optimal way to DPS is spamming the hopping thrust and backstep and repeat?
Sorry newbie to lance here, how you did the back hop and few thrust after that?
Nice run. Is this Tool Assisted? Was just wondering because of the thumbnail, not sure what TA Wiki Rules would mean otherwise. Good run either way though.
So, I just picked up Lance. How is elemental building for it? I wanted to try but was wondering if it’s worth it.
Is Guard Dash better than Shield Tackle? I never saw you using Shield Tackle in your videos. Yet all people are saying that Guard Dash is prefferable over Shield Tackle on every build.
Love shield tackle, turns lance into hammer You just alternate between poke and S.tackle.
The reason why MANY use Shied Tackle is simply the ease of using it to target a better hitzone. The MAJOR reason why Guard Tackle is better in terms of true value is PURELY Elemental based. If you're using Raw Lance to learn a monster, Shield Tackle. When you are grinding it with an element, Guard Tackle. When you're speed running, it 100% depends on HOW you're going to pinpoint a hit zone and go nuts.
Very good!! Very good!!
Fcking insane, this might be close to TAS
How did you use leaping thrust after jumping without dashing? You did triple poke jump leaping, how?
素晴らしい
Can you give me youre lance build?
I gotta try out the new guard advance tech it looks so cool
How come weapons looks stronger when I'm not playing them?
