Dude you have one of the best setting for a video I've ever seen. Your own music, your personality, the humor and the topics. The fact that it's about Monster Hunter is icing on the cake. Please give us more.
I play every weapon including lance, the weakest is probably hunting horn cause I'm Solo player. Lance is probably something I mainly use for Deviljho cause I can slam it and KO with counter with 100 percent chance[you can guard or dodge with gun lance and do one shell as well] Lance something I recommend new player to use so they won't die often until I see them using it.... sheathing weapon back and run to a monster or run off and get killed. basically I told them to use whatever they want now.
I would like a Lance guide, the ones I looked up on TH-cam before weren't what I was looking for, probably because the people talking about it are no Lance mains so I would love to finally understand everything about this weapon I always wanted to pick up from someone who knows what he's talking about because of experience.
@@bananacheese6864 I already did, I learned a lot about the weapon and I already made two sets I really enjoy but in my past I often experienced that when I discover a new weapon in MH I tend to miss out on some of the cool stuff only to finding it out later via the internet on accident. For example (and I'm not proud of what I'm about to write) my favorite weapon is gs but it actually took me until kushala daora to find out that you can time the charge attacks right in order to get maximum damage, I always thought I should just hold it until it releases on it's own... Embarrassing but also funny to think back to. Edit: Of course that was when I first started to play the game and I never played another mh game before, I'm no longer that oblivious :D Edit of the edit: I forgot to thank you, so: Thank you!
@@GPismymom watch some speedruns with that weapon and then you can probably piece together a strategy or two that's how I learned most of the new Lance clutch claw attacks and such
@@bananacheese6864 you are not wrong, thank you for the tip, I should watch more speedruns but I always get the feeling that some moves on some weapons are just not good enough for a runner to ever use (gs for example has a few that are rarely used at all) but I still would like to know all of my options, when I watch a speedrun I can only see the optimal way of doing it (or at least a close resemblance) so it often happens that one move in particular will be spammed whenever it is possible (the Hammer ledgehop for example) when I know more about the weapon overall I will definitely watch some speedruns to find out what the best damage combos are and how to time critical monster attacks right but I think if I do that now it would hurt more than it would help because it would hinder me from learning about every possibility I have in every given moment and instead would reduce me to the few core moves speedruner use for maximum damage potential and that's not what I'm looking for, at least for now. (One of the sets I'm using right now is a sleep bomber set so you can probably tell that I'm often times not looking for best damage but for fun, not that one necessarily needs to exclude the other but I'm just not that type of player, most of the time) again, thank you for your tip, I really appreciate it!
I think an underrated part of lance, and the part that really gets overlooked, in my opinion, is how rhythmic fights become with it. At any given moment, you know exactly what to do poke, counter, charge, shield dash, hop, etc. It all plays out like beats with you attacking, repositioning, and reacting to attacks non-stop the whole fight, and it is so rewarding because if you can nail down this rhythm with a monster, you really will rarely get hit. As a lance main, I appreciate you spreading the good word about this weapon and I really hope people give it a shot because it can be so satisfying to just cleanly obliterate monsters with it.
I agree with you fam. I had a really rough time finding a team to fight AT Nergigante, so I decided to fight him myself. Took me a while to learn all of his start up animations but after I did it really just turned the fight into a rhythm game. Don't get me wrong tho. Even with max level gear AT Nergigante was a pain in the ass but became manageable with some persistence
This probably wasn't the desired effect, but I'm now going to start maining Lance in 4U also your tutorial song was straight fire, don't you dare apologize for that banger
I'm more interested in the mod that makes drops glow with that beam. Seriously, Borderlands and Diablo (probably just two of many examples) did it, why isn't it in MHW by default? I'm sure console players would love it.
I just watched a vid about a guy who transcends reality by placing his existence into the void to hold off a virus that can literally drain your life away and yet he wishes to teach us how to pierce the heavens?. Am I high?.
That feeling when you just broke 500 quests with Lance and have literally zero with any other weapon. Seeing this video: a fellow man of culture I see, take my sub.
Lance was a fav in 4u, and was a fav in base world, and man, Iceborne is everything I've ever wanted for it. (Except, more damage plz maybe.) There was some other vid floating around talking about how "Lance is a bad defensive weapon" by a player who claimed it was his most used weapon, yet he very clearly had no idea how to play (which is a consistent theme on his channel tbh). Yet he's going around with his 150k+ subs giving garbage advice. People should just watch this vid instead.
A lance guide would be sweet! I feel like a lot of current guides already cover the main stuff pretty well though. It would be cool if you could go into more detail about the nuances of the weapon, like how to use the guard advance well (guard advancing backwards is super useful!), when not to Super Guard, when not to abuse the Clutch Counter, things like that.
"Not falling must mean you're damn strong" -My Hero Academia, said to Kaminari. The most satisfying moments I've had maining Lance have been when a super-agressive monster is harrying a teammate, it turns to me, and I block or counter a half-dozen attacks in a row while getting stabs in. Lately that's been against Zinogre and Barioth, but it's an amazing feeling when you pull it off without giving an inch while everyone heals up. And when you're doing solo fights, it's almost Zen getting in the habit of poking and blocking. EDIT: Also, SUPER into you doing a guide! Always looking for improvements to my techinque, and I still am struggling with the new (incredibly fun) Clutch Claw stuff.
My most satisfying moments playing lance usually involved a monster that charges a lot and mounting it off a charge of my own. Especially Tigrex, nothing like stopping a freight train with a pointy stick.
@@Pluveus Tigrex, Nargacuga and Velkhana (maybe some others I might be forgetting) have been the most fun to play using Lance. Ruiner Nergi was pathethically easy though, but the Tempered one is a bit more fun.
@@justanotherLunny seething bazel is one of my favorite fights with the lance. His moveset and the size of his bigass head are just begging to be countered
I am saddened to no end by the amount of animu jokes made about DB. I didn't ask to look so ridiculous while being dodgy... I just wanna evade all the things. TT . TT
I played lance before. Since this video released I've mained lance. Since maining lance, I've always got an optimal weapon for any monster and nothing feels impossible.
This is the best lance vid ive seen yet, and just really really great content! Yo guy u got BARS! That freestyle was LIT AF, seriously creative nice switches and the flow was superb. Also loved the sonic adventure songs u were jamming haha, freaking awesome man. Liked and subbed
Just FYI if you are a new lancer. This doesn't come up much, but you can guard advance - backwards. After a hop (or poke) pull back on the left stick while holding RT and pushing the top face button. This will help you deal with big smack + splash attacks like Rajangs leap.
Shubham Ranjan Mandal same buddy. The only things I think he missed. Are power guard gets built in guard up as well as guard 3-5 I think. Clutch counter gets rocksteady effect from all attacks but I haven’t experienced a roar knocking me off yet. As well as the “softening” animation is much faster than other weapons but it does yeet you away from the part you just softened. And will specifically target the monster part used to hit you. Honestly there are more but you should just look up a guide at that point.
Lance is a bit specific with the decorations to use, but other than that it is potentially the strongest weapon in the game, in the fact it allows you to simply block 98% of all the attacks in the game, and that you can keep fighting rather than moving away to heal or dodge. You'll need to keep in mind to overcome the weapon's weaknesses: blights(to remove them you need to unsheathe, which takes really long, or to side-step a lot), sharpening(it eats a lot of sharpness), healing(from chip damage you take on guarding, or if you fail to block) and lastly the few moves you can't block (Lunastra's burn on the Nova, Ancient Leshen's crow-nova and Behemoth's ecliptic meteor. This is again because of the long sheathing animation). If you learn to deal with the weaknesses, it's just perfect for survival and consistent damage.
@@justanotherLunny I am still missing shield jewel LoL! In the few hunts I did with lance I tried quick sheathe and evade extender and they help. I still struggle with guard advance tho
@@nielr6922 Honestly, guard advance took me beyond the original MHW story to realize it's a thing and how to use it properly. It's really useful and once you learn it, really simple too.
if i already didn't feel in my heart that i wanted to learn lance, this would have convinced me. i just tried it out last night and so far having a great time. loved your presentation too. insta-sub.
I've never seen one of your videos before, but as one of the 20 mentioned Lance Mains, I had to give a sub. Also, I miss back hopping to move with evade distance up and evade window.
Made my brother play Lance a month ago, he went from using nothing but Long Sword to Nothing but Lance, Lance is too good of a weapon to pass especially when playing with people. The fact that its clutch counter can tenderize monsters without getting knocked off makes it easy for everyone to get the most damage off their weapons. Not to mention Offensive Guard being able to easily activate especially when you can activate it when the monster roars
What I love most about Lance is it is absolute kryptonite to aggressive non-element monsters like Diablos and Nergigante. They can't resist putting their horns to use and running face first into a counter.
Lance gang! I've been maining it since I picked it up to stop getting wrecked by Alatreon all the way back in Tri. I always loved the mobility you got from evade lancing, and I'm so glad to see what they've done in Iceborne to give you that mobility while keeping the shield a key part of gameplay. Also the tutorial was extremely fire
You guessed right mate, it's really weird for me who watches you for the first time lol. Nevertheless it's a good video. I just started my own Monster Hunter related channel and I've been learning from all different channels with all their own unique style, including you. Thanks mate I learned a lot
Great video, lance has such a satisfying playstyle in world. Standing toe to toe from the start of a hunt to the finish, always being in there and always poking, landing juicy counters that lead to juicy staggers/claggers, love it. Anyways, hope you rest well in the void, see you in late spring.
Shoutouts to the other 19 lance mains out there! This video perfectly summed up why iceborne made my favorite weapon even more perfect. Now we just need Herny to promote the other most underrated weapon: Hunting Horn.
What I like about Iceborne is that lance is no longer just mindless "thrust thrust thrust counter guard ad infinitum" due so many monsters doing quick follow ups on their attacks, making countering a risky business. Now you have to think on your feet, just block it? Claw counter? Power guard or even guard hop. It's amazing how the way monsters behaved made lance just amazing weapon to use. Once all falls perfectly, you just stick there poking away, tendering and just keeping up with the onslaught with your mighty ass knowledge.. You know It is feels right, it feels empowering. You got this, Lance boy
< Lancer. Shields up. I think it's the hardest, most technical weapon in the game thanks to the Iceborn changes to clutching. And the payoff is being an unkillable god.
I'm sorry but I have to disagree the first half of your opinion, as a Lance and GS main since Freedom 1. Lance is the *easiest” and the most forgivable weapon in Iceborne. Guarding by itself requires less timing and positioning than any other weapon using s to evade. Guarding is so generous! You just hold the button and that's it. I had a lot of trouble fighting Acidic Glavenus for the first time with GS, then switched to Lance and it becomes very easy. The power of easy and consistent DPS on most monsters makes Lance a hidden gem. The Counter claw does make it more technical. While other weapons may lose DPS by trying to grapple on the monster's head, Lance does it like a boss with long invulnerability. I think it's good time for people to realize that, they can just let a good Lance main to do all the flinch shots while they can spend time on increasing their burst DPS. Other than Lance not being the hardest weapon, I think you're actually pretty spot-on on what the video is about. Keep on poking bro!
@@quantizedanson Sure, any hunter out there can pick up a lance and automatically be able to kill something without dying, but getting an actual good time of like 5-8 minutes on most things takes far more skill with it than many other weapons. I've even seen someone get silver rath down to 2 minutes with it. If you're ever using the normal guard you're probably compromising a huge amount of dps and that's where the beauty of lance lies. I actually do step evade through some attacks (behemoth tail 360 spin as one example) with it because I play so aggressively.
Hey Herny, just found your channel, and I gotta say I like your style dude, especially the vids with footage of you playing music. To a filthy fiver noob with 'only' 800 hrs in mhw, its nice seeing someone approach the games like you do, its a bit inspiring when the game gets me down because I never feel like I'm improving unless I switch to my definitely not broken OP safi burstcannon spread 3 build and guard 5, guard up, and lvl 4 hbg shield. Would really like to see you do a video on the new raging brachy... and how stupid it is that when his punch whiffs you and his tail comes near you, the tail counts as an unblockable knockdown, even with aforementioned stupidly comfy tanking setup that barely takes chip damage from anything and can literally not get knocked back by raging rajangs lightning slam.
Fun fact, you can just not take damage with lance, but you need full guard and full constitution, not just guard up. second fun fact, with this you can sit directly in shara ishvaldas hyperbeam and lose almost no health. Use this information responsibly!
If there’s any way this video was made in a day that’s freaking unbelievable. Even if it wasn’t, great video. Thanks for your personality, effort, and words about one of the most satisfying weps :)
HEY, no joke, your Rajang video convinced me to pick up Lance The part where you emphasized how his countering your contering his counter was unfair, i saw that the Lance had a clutch guard and was fucking blown away, picked it up INSTANTLY. And this is coming from a dude who's been a gunlance main ever since Freedom Unite who has literally never touched lance, so it kinda hurts to say but I'm actually having more fun with Lance than GL in Iceborne. (long 6 is great but gets boring after a while)
been a lance main since high rank, recently moved towards hammer and cb - lance is amazingly consistent, but not really flashy. i guess that's why i see literally nobody playing it online. but for solo hunts shit is insane, lance + tigrex set bonus carried my noob ass through iceborne main story. i don't think you should make a longer video on lance, the song was good enough. maybe you should go through most and least useful skills and trees in the game? just an idea. liking the new formula a lot, keep it up.
Me: I never thought of lance as bad weapon and it was fun in older games. Maybe I'll find a reason to play it in Iceborne as well Herny: HOLD MY VOID ! Amazing Video, friend! You never disappoint me with your content :D The way you do the music, the way you talk about stuff and the way of you just being yourself - just adds up so damn well! I may not have been around as long as others, but I damn sure have seen more than enough to know that you are an amazing content creator! Keep it up
Thank you for this video! I’ve been wanting to switch off of lance for some time now but after seeing what you can do with it. It makes me want to use it more! You have earned a sub.
I've been a Lance main since tri and I still learned something today. I also agree that evasion Lance just didn't feel right, but I still used it. I was just one of those weirdos that sacrificed damage for guard and evasion.

I think an underrated part of lance, and the part that really gets overlooked, in my opinion, is how rhythmic fights become with it. At any given moment, you know exactly what to do poke, counter, charge, shield dash, hop, etc. It all plays out like beats with you attacking, repositioning, and reacting to attacks non-stop the whole fight, and it is so rewarding because if you can nail down this rhythm with a monster, you really will rarely get hit.

You just won my subscription with this vid. Finally another lover of lance that explains it right! Such happy tears!
"Why You should play Lance"
*video made by Lance gang*
I've subscribed during your 3 month void trip. Don't worry you're probably good
You know what Henry, I've been enjoying your videos despite them taking so long to come out, so for you, I'll try Lance!
I’m concerned about the state of Hernys youtube virus rn. He really needs to think about his health and bless us eith another video
Ok that Katamari intro had me subbed so fast. New record!
I loved the intro so much 😭😂 welcome back! We've all missed you!
Herny your videos are legit my favourite on TH-cam, don't even care what the topic is
Lance gang! I've been maining it since I picked it up to stop getting wrecked by Alatreon all the way back in Tri. I always loved the mobility you got from evade lancing, and I'm so glad to see what they've done in Iceborne to give you that mobility while keeping the shield a key part of gameplay.
Also the tutorial was extremely fire
A song to explain something MH related? Sold! You got a new sub bro 😎👍
You guessed right mate, it's really weird for me who watches you for the first time lol. Nevertheless it's a good video.
I just started my own Monster Hunter related channel and I've been learning from all different channels with all their own unique style, including you. Thanks mate I learned a lot
Even tho i don't have MHW i still enjoy the shit out of your videos,no matter what they are about. Keep up the amazing work man!
Dude your channel is a hidden gem, content is bloody amazing and well done. You deserve more subs 😭
"You know this is gonna be really weird for people new to the channel".
Me: *subscribes instantly*
This is good stuff, man.
No matter how much time in between uploads I'll still watch!
(when a monster uses their most damaging atack)
Me: *YOU'LL NEVER DAMAGE ME, NOT WHEN I SHIFT INTO: MAXIMUM GAURD SKILL!* (presses guard)
Monsters with true unblockable attacks: “allow us to introduce ourselves”
"When you go into the quest, and you poke the monster's head, and before ya know it dead"
Herny out here dropping bars on everybody
Great video, lance has such a satisfying playstyle in world. Standing toe to toe from the start of a hunt to the finish, always being in there and always poking, landing juicy counters that lead to juicy staggers/claggers, love it.
Anyways, hope you rest well in the void, see you in late spring.
Shoutouts to the other 19 lance mains out there! This video perfectly summed up why iceborne made my favorite weapon even more perfect. Now we just need Herny to promote the other most underrated weapon: Hunting Horn.
This banger is already 4 years old... how time flies by
I'm sold. On Lance and your channel. Subbed.
I really liked that, especially the fact that you changed the flow of the video in the middle with that song, also I’m sorry you’re stuck in the void
Love ur vids man I rewatch em often. Good stuff. Funny, entertaining, informative. Ur pretty good, man.
What I like about Iceborne is that lance is no longer just mindless "thrust thrust thrust counter guard ad infinitum" due so many monsters doing quick follow ups on their attacks, making countering a risky business. Now you have to think on your feet, just block it? Claw counter? Power guard or even guard hop.
It's amazing how the way monsters behaved made lance just amazing weapon to use. Once all falls perfectly, you just stick there poking away, tendering and just keeping up with the onslaught with your mighty ass knowledge.. You know
It is feels right, it feels empowering. You got this, Lance boy
Thank you for representing me and my 29 brothers and sisters so well. Awesome format and editing, you earned a sub. Cheers!
Picked up lance on a fresh character last week and gotta say (I main ls and gs) I'm having a ton more fun just because of the shield its great
Great Quality video as always man, keep it up!
This video has made at least one person become a lance main. Love ya Herny
< Lancer. Shields up.
I think it's the hardest, most technical weapon in the game thanks to the Iceborn changes to clutching. And the payoff is being an unkillable god.
I'm sorry but I have to disagree the first half of your opinion, as a Lance and GS main since Freedom 1.
Lance is the *easiest” and the most forgivable weapon in Iceborne. Guarding by itself requires less timing and positioning than any other weapon using s to evade. Guarding is so generous! You just hold the button and that's it. I had a lot of trouble fighting Acidic Glavenus for the first time with GS, then switched to Lance and it becomes very easy. The power of easy and consistent DPS on most monsters makes Lance a hidden gem.
The Counter claw does make it more technical. While other weapons may lose DPS by trying to grapple on the monster's head, Lance does it like a boss with long invulnerability. I think it's good time for people to realize that, they can just let a good Lance main to do all the flinch shots while they can spend time on increasing their burst DPS.
Other than Lance not being the hardest weapon, I think you're actually pretty spot-on on what the video is about. Keep on poking bro!
@@quantizedanson Okay, fine. Longsword is the most technically dense and LBG is the most button-pressy.
Are you happy now:P
@@quantizedanson If you ever just block with the lance then you're simply playing it wrong.
@@quantizedanson Sure, any hunter out there can pick up a lance and automatically be able to kill something without dying, but getting an actual good time of like 5-8 minutes on most things takes far more skill with it than many other weapons. I've even seen someone get silver rath down to 2 minutes with it. If you're ever using the normal guard you're probably compromising a huge amount of dps and that's where the beauty of lance lies. I actually do step evade through some attacks (behemoth tail 360 spin as one example) with it because I play so aggressively.
Hey Herny, just found your channel, and I gotta say I like your style dude, especially the vids with footage of you playing music. To a filthy fiver noob with 'only' 800 hrs in mhw, its nice seeing someone approach the games like you do, its a bit inspiring when the game gets me down because I never feel like I'm improving unless I switch to my definitely not broken OP safi burstcannon spread 3 build and guard 5, guard up, and lvl 4 hbg shield.
Would really like to see you do a video on the new raging brachy... and how stupid it is that when his punch whiffs you and his tail comes near you, the tail counts as an unblockable knockdown, even with aforementioned stupidly comfy tanking setup that barely takes chip damage from anything and can literally not get knocked back by raging rajangs lightning slam.
Fun fact, you can just not take damage with lance, but you need full guard and full constitution, not just guard up. second fun fact, with this you can sit directly in shara ishvaldas hyperbeam and lose almost no health. Use this information responsibly!
Your channel is great man. Whenever you put up stuff I know it'll be awesome. Thanks for coming back.
If there’s any way this video was made in a day that’s freaking unbelievable. Even if it wasn’t, great video. Thanks for your personality, effort, and words about one of the most satisfying weps :)
Make that lance guide champ! hope everything in personal life is going well. Really enjoyed the video I can see the effort.
Been thinking recently of picking up lance in world, haven't played it since Tri. This convinced me to finally do it :)
Pretty sure I just subscribed because of that music bit. Now I'm just going to continue watching you
It is very kind of you to give help to the disable cousin of Gunlance. :)
4:40 replay button for the lance tutorial song
yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo a herny vid in 2020 we are truly blessed .
HEY, no joke, your Rajang video convinced me to pick up Lance
The part where you emphasized how his countering your contering his counter was unfair, i saw that the Lance had a clutch guard and was fucking blown away, picked it up INSTANTLY.
And this is coming from a dude who's been a gunlance main ever since Freedom Unite who has literally never touched lance, so it kinda hurts to say but I'm actually having more fun with Lance than GL in Iceborne. (long 6 is great but gets boring after a while)
been a lance main since high rank, recently moved towards hammer and cb - lance is amazingly consistent, but not really flashy. i guess that's why i see literally nobody playing it online. but for solo hunts shit is insane, lance + tigrex set bonus carried my noob ass through iceborne main story. i don't think you should make a longer video on lance, the song was good enough. maybe you should go through most and least useful skills and trees in the game? just an idea. liking the new formula a lot, keep it up.
Me: I never thought of lance as bad weapon and it was fun in older games. Maybe I'll find a reason to play it in Iceborne as well
Herny: HOLD MY VOID !
Amazing Video, friend! You never disappoint me with your content :D
The way you do the music, the way you talk about stuff and the way of you just being yourself - just adds up so damn well!
I may not have been around as long as others, but I damn sure have seen more than enough to know that you are an amazing content creator!
Keep it up
starting sketch is relevant as ever! void life for the win
I'm using Lance now because of this video. It's actually fun to use. Thanks, Hern... still want to play with you someday.
I've been lance main since the first MH on the PS2. Ain't gotta sell me on that. Loving the clutch counter so much.
Thank you for this video! I’ve been wanting to switch off of lance for some time now but after seeing what you can do with it. It makes me want to use it more! You have earned a sub.
Nice. You got the neon yellow joycons. Those are the first pair I got. Keep up the content. You and gaijinhunter are pretty great.
man im so glad i found your channel, it's great!
Nice video, really enjoying lance in Iceborne so far, too!
I've been a Lance main since tri and I still learned something today. I also agree that evasion Lance just didn't feel right, but I still used it. I was just one of those weirdos that sacrificed damage for guard and evasion.
The thing that actually sold me is that really nice looking trident.
You convinced me to start using the lance, now I see myself using it more often than the GS,LS,LBG, and Hammer lol.
Great video, made me subscribe. I love playing lance too btw
