I’m listening to this with caption and “guard” keeps getting captioned as “god.” Basically power GOD blocks everything. The lance is holy justice.
incredible
I was hearing god all time until i see your comment
Amen to Jesus, the Son of God✝️🛐🙏🏼❤️
I really want to thumbs up this, but it sits at 666...so...😈
Poke, poke, poke, and occasionally laugh at the monster's attempt to hurt you.
gunlance : barely pokes monster CERCLE CERCLE CERCLE
Something extremely important he forgot to mention is that moving forward while guarding, it will regenerate Stamina.
Eddie Lee Mojica
Or just moving in general. Hold L2 while guarding to strafe. It allows you to long back hop or guard dash back from neutral.
Good good
A basic move.
moving ANY* direciton
Fuck this is Op haha
How it feels playing other weapons: "oh man gotta dodge and dance around the monster"
How it feels playing lance / gunlance: **literally unstoppable god tank**
charge blade should give the same vibe as lance and gunlance
@@chriswu772 CB is Like Semi-Tank,While Lance is Unstoppable Tank
Eh it kinda sucks tried it out for a week and went back to the hammer immediately after
@@danielholden4877 bruh
And with gunlamce you feel like voltron
Maybe it‘s worth mentioning that if you just wanna block after an attack it takes hours to raise the shield. But if you do the counter block you can transition into block in an instant. Also if you notice your counter will run off before the monster finishes its move and you would be open after that counter attack you can press X to go into a power block and increase the duration of your block. Thinking of you Vaal Hazak.
Guard dash is better in this regard
THANK YOU, I was just fighting Vhaal last night and it was hell, then it became super easy once I got the Uragaan Guard skill
Another thing about the power guard is that unlike normal blocking, it protects 360 degrees around you and above you. it's the ultimate panic button in multi monster fights where you're backed up into the corner between Bazel and Jho.
I sense a story behind that
no other weapon can make you feel so powerful yet so small at the same time...
Just a smol aggro turtl
its like you're doing a met in front of X and Zero
Then X and Zero decides to turf war instead```````````````````````````````````
@@KingM1023 brother
For those that are 100's of hours into the game and feeling a bit jaded, switching weapon is a great way to freshen things up. I main CB & IG and the lance was the last weapon I thought I'd try, but I thought he Jho lance looked so cool that I'd gave it a go. While the lance play style isn't really me, it is a lot of fun and changes things up nicely. I recommend it.
Wetw0rk that's just Monster Hunter
Long ago I mainly use LS and GS only but after few hundred hours I get tired and tried other weapon, now I could use all weapon decently tho still mainly use 3-4 of them
I said that. Now I'm running out of weapons to master.
Wetw0rk definitely agree switching! I have all the switch axes and was getting a bit bored. Got a hammer drop from Kulve Taroth and now love using that. Had some spare stream stones so it has health regen. I use to hate tempered Jho so will try it with a different weapon when it comes back. Switch axe sucked for Jho.
Wetw0rk I play hammer ,bow gun and lance
lmao, im on ur current situation right now and yep dis is truee
“It’s called a Lance! Helloooooooo”
Greatest lance quote ever
Better a silly girl than a boy with a horse and a stick
YEAH BABY!! BOTH OF YO UARE GETTING SUBBED FOR THAT
As a Lance main, here’s a few tips for some Lance Nubs:
> Don’t spam the charge attack because it trips people and we’re suppose to help out teammates
> Near end game start to get that Guard skill up, you’ll become a *diamond* wall when you get lvl 5 guard
>Finally Patience and timing deadly important especially when it comes to mounting a monster or just countering everything a monster throws at you.
Finally The Larger the Monster, The easier it is to destroy em.
Aint that the truth. I have the most trouble with the small n fast mfers
WhiteVII Lmao its facts
I spam the shit out of the charge attack when the monster is down or running away. It cuts off the monster’s tail quite fast plus the average damage output stack up really really fast on large monsters. They act as a wall will prevent you from running right through them.
thanks, man I just switched and needed a few tips. Are there any upgrade paths your recommend? I'm having trouble with the odogaron.
Chazz adams The Perditions Hand (Nerg Lance) is the goto. But for odogaron use the Legiana lance since it’s weak to ice.
A few other lances:
The Kirin Lance (Thunderspear I think)
The Odogaron lance (the affinity is amazing)
The Rathalos Lance cause the fire damage is really good.
Finally the Vaal Hazak Lance because it looks dope AF.
Back again after all these years. Still love this vid. Thanks arekkz.
I got the game like 2 days ago, I'm completely new to the series and I have to say, I'm absolutely loving it
me too dude!!
Where are my lance brothers?
I main GS but I do use lance for specific monsters.
Especially against temper jho.
Bujin Kan Right here brudda
Shieldsmen in arms unite!
Here bother
I do use lance alot in a party, but my main is a longsword.
Worth noting that lance (and gunlance) hops are far less effective at putting you out when you've been hit with fireblight, so you'll need to either wait out the fire, or sheath your (gun)lance and roll normally. Not a big thing, especially since if you block the attack, you'll typically block the blight as well, but something to keep in mind. I've seen some lancers hopping back and forth helplessly while on fire, and it's something I used to do myself.
Sucks how Barroth armour, first easy source of Guard skill, gives negative fire resist
For anyone that wants a lance build that gives high survivability, I have a great set for you. It depends on you having the Shield Jewel however to maximize its effectiveness. Head=Whatever tickles your fancy, personally I use Damascus or Bazel. Chest=Hazak, Arms=Hazak, Coil=Baan Alpha, Legs=Hazak. Charm=Ironside. The goal with this setup is that you should have the 4X healing from Hazak and his set bonus which grants health regen. The Ironside and Baan Coil Alpha will max out your guard skill, reducing knockback to near nothing and reducing the stamina cost of being hit with an attack by 50%. You can block ALL multi-hit attacks this way as long as you have a nice chunk of stamina. And the piece that bring it all together is the shield jewel. Alloing you to block ANY attack like Arrekz said. The Lance I use is the Tobi Kadachi Lance with 3 Health augments. This allows me to almost never need to use a potion in the event that I mess up and get hit or a monster hits me from the side or back. This set will NOT give you the highest dps, but if you need a set that offers high survivability, this should help. I usually put vitality and defense jewels in my build with a sharp jewel in the lance. If you can improve upon my build then I welcome feedback. Sorry this is so long winded, just want to be able to help anyone that needs a good tanky build.
Would the deviljho one work
Thanks for the great build tips mate
@SUBJECT M01 I'm glad it's still helpful this far out! It's a bit different now since Iceborne came out, still uses most of the same armor varieties luckily, but overall it's still a decent build. I've seen some builds that blow this one away, but this one (and its newer variants) is easier to make than many of those.
you forgot to mention that the counter only blocks one hit, if you counter at the wrong time during a multi hitting move, you will block only one of the hits but then be left open for the remaining hits and thus still get hit. therefore it's good to really learn the monster and see when it hits once, and when it multi hits, as you can block multi hits if you have the stamina.
Omega Snake The power guard though can block multiple hits, so you can use that if you are getting hit with multiple hits.
that is true, i am just saying about the counter.
Omega Snake In the last patch they added armor for any follow up hits. You will take damage but not get knocked out of position.
good to know
if you're quick enough after a counter of a multihit's first hit you can tap and hold R and go into powerguard from the knockback animation, that often works against multihits if you were to slow to get into powerguard, but also helps for the additional counterthrust damage compared to normal counter thrust dmg
I spent so long on wondering what weapon I wanted to main. Tried every weapon and lance was my last pick. My GOD this weapon is amazing!
It gets better with clutch claw from iceborne
These workshop videos are the absolute greatest. As a bow main, even if I have no interest in the weapon featured, I watch thoughly. Helps me understand the weapons that people I group with are using, their play-style, and how I can work with them to make the best 4 man unit possible. Wouldn’t be the hunter I am today without them. The time and effort you put in is greatly appreciated! Thank you
Finally! Lance mains unite!
Michael Talley lancers assemble!
Ready to poke some ass
Shields ready!!
Together,We are strong!!
Whohooo!
I'm not sure if I just missed it, but I think you didn't say that by clicking R2 after jumping off a ledge or out of a slide, you can go really quickly into the dash attack. This way you don't have to land, stop and initiate it, you'll instead land on your feet running.
I also think you automatically start in a higher tier of the dash attack, possibly depending on distance fallen. I know that jumping off ledges using the dash attack makes you go into the next phase earlier, but I'm not sure how simply falling into it affects the upgrade timer.
Going straight from Dual Blades to Lance is the largest Dopamine fast ive ever done.
Love that even after 6 years, Arekkz tutorials are always beneficial.
Trying to learn the lance, this video is super helpful! I'll just do timestamps for myself and translate inputs to xbox controller

When y'all get tired of carting, come join the Lance Master Race. Guard +3, Guard Up, Health Regen Augment = Immortality.
Why would a lancer need health regen.
Nicholas Schoepfer because you take small amounts of damage when you block attacks and it can wear your health down over a fight without any kind of healing
Do you you really need guard when you have guard up jewel? And you should try 3 piece val hazak with lance it's chessy af lol
Paladin at least 3 so you can guard everything from roars to unblockables. I like mine to be at Guard 5 because you just feel very invincible. You dont flinch at all if you block Teostra’s Supernova
ＣｈａｍｐｅｒｉｎｏＰｏｇ if you have guard 3 or 5 then you don't need guard up skill?
I'm still pretty new at the game/series (SnS main currently). I've figured out my playstyle, which is pretty much just sticking to the monster like glue and swinging away at them constantly. But now I can see that the Lance will probably fit me like a glove and I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for making this series because it makes choosing a weapon for newer players like myself so much simpler!
I've come back to this channel on 3 separate occasions for guides, like seriously, I should just subscribe at this point...
Absolute quality content!
This is the most comprehensive guide on lance I've seen, thank you for putting it together!
After ~750 hours of exclusively SNS, I was forced into playing Lance in the Yian Garuga arena challenge and OMG I fell in love. Such a different play style than SNS but so satisfying. And if you spec for dmg you get some truly disgusting dmg numbers.
I think my favourite type of weapon is “it isn’t designed to hit that hard, but can be customized to become ridiculously overpowered”
I find that the most useful aspect of integrating the power guard + counter thrust into your combo loop is that it allows you to pivot in any direction, significantly reducing how often you have to reposition.
Also, it’s just nice to have a satisfying power finisher in there to keep things exciting.
You tutorial videos are the best thing on the youtube. I appreciate MHW a lot more because of you, thank you!
I’ve been using the lance a lot and I love it, but I still got some useful information from this. Thanks as always for the great and comprehensive work :).
Maximum Might isn't a good option for Lance, the stamina is almost never full.
If you continue the combo with a counter block rather than hop you can maintain your stamina.
@@nomkem7473 With how quickly stamina recharges in this game, even as a lance user, i never have too much trouble procing max might, even with no stamina recharge up skills
Yuri Costa,
Very true
Also with DB.
Why? *demon mode*
Best Monster Hunter World | Lance Tutorial on youtube.
Helping you in seo mate :3
Thanks my friend. You are a very good teacher and you explain everything perfectly without confusion. I have enjoyed many of your weapon videos during this new surge of popularity for the game. I played on the initial release but didn't get deep into it. Now though I can't stop. I'm on every day. I've been a jack of all trades so far weapon wise but I haven't had the one weapon that speaks to me. That all changed after I watched this video of yours. I gave the Lance a try and it's stupid fun and I picked up all the combos easily. That's thanks to you. This is now my favorite weapon hands down. I used the dual blades the most but I felt I was hit to much. Even with other weapons. It was a one to one exchange almost. I'd do damage then get smacked. Not anymore and revenge tastes so damn good. Thanks again friend keep up the great work.
Thank you for making this video. You have a great natural flow of explaining, very easy to follow
Great video, but I think it might be worth noting that the long hop can be done after an attack. Not just after the first/second hop. Lance is surgical, great for sniping weak points. Positioning is king. Your combos being reset with a normal hop will slowly edge you forward. If you have a long opening you may edge forward out of position. That long hop takes you further back so you can start sniping with the tip of the lance again instead of clipping the lance through a monster and accidentally hitting a leg while you're aiming for the throat. Also long hop is great from getting away from other hunters that'll trip you up. It's worth knowing all your repositioning options to always get dem soft spots. Nothing does hyper-aggressive like lance. Be all up in the monster's face 24/7.
Monster Hunter World is the first MH game I've ever played so I have been getting troubles about what weapon I should main (I tried CB, Hammer, and SnS). After watching your Lance guide, it actually piqued my interest. Ever since then, I practiced how to use Lance and with your guide, it has been a success so far. I still have room for improvements but thanks for uploading guides about everything! It really helps out new players like me a lot. I really appreciate it :D
Lance is low-key one of the most beginner-friendly weapons. The only real hurdle is getting used to the movement and from there it becomes a simple flowchart of To Poke or Not To Poke.
Add i have said many times now you are the best at these tutorials and I have gotten so much more of of the game because of you.
Anytime I want to try a new weapon I practice and watch your tutorial for that specific weapon.
I am just started to play again after an 8 month break. Ready for me content and rainbow weapons.
I sometimes take notes. Like writing down Combos etc. These are the best on the internet and you cover each weapon.
4 years later I'm now just started to use the lance. Such an awesome weapon. Thank you!
great tutorial i learned some new useful stuff!
6:46 moves
pretty useful tips:
-it's not advised to use power guard against a Full black spike Nergigante dive bomb. just guarding is better
-You can use the counter thrust back to back against Diablos/B. Diablos double horn swing.
-Guard 3 is enough
-You can use the guard dash to prevent the knockback of blocked attacks. It lets you close the distance between you and the monster.
Argel Comia why wouldn’t you use power guard against the dive bomb?
Woah that's amazing, I never could wrap my head around lance in MHW, but now I see how much you can abuse the counter thrust, thank you Arekkz.
Thanks for the in-depth and easy to follow guide! Your videos are always so well thought out and presented :)
I'm a Hunting Horn main but was looking to spice it up a bit and this looks like fun!
On another note i noticed alot of Lancers failing to shield advance sideways, R2+Triangle+direction.
Hold L2 TO STRAFE with the shield up (All shield weapons can strafe as long as L2 is pressed with R2).
You can go in all four directions, forward, back, left and right. This is paramount for dodging Kushala (wind blasts )and Nerg (rear up arm slam) as thier attacks deal chip damage through level 5 Guard.
Never have I been this focused on getting knowledge during a lecture
I think i’ve watched your tutorials for all the weapons at least twice each, smth like ls, cb and sa at least around 5 times, you voice for eva will be associated with these tutorials in my mind. Thx a lot for the indepth guides
I just started on pc and didn't know half of the stuff you could do with lance compared to the older games. I love you and you are magnificent thank you for the tutorial
"Walk around like a little angry turtle" i died when he said turtle
If you hold left trigger while guarding you can hop/guard dash to the side and back without attacking first
I just watched your old lance tutorial yesterday, cuase I started practicing with it. I've said this before; you really are psychic Arekkz
Thus is my 3rd favorite weapon. So underrated but very fun to use. Good video Arekkz
Released 7 minutes ago?
I already know this video will make me want to Main Lance
I know this comment is 1 year old but I'm curious did you end up maining Lance?
@@obiguanche5512 I know this comment is 1 year old but I'm curious did you end up finding out if he's maining Lance?
Arekks The Gawd Has Returned
Welcome Back 😁
I've been wanting to try the Lance for awhile now I've had a fully upgraded Uragaan Armor set and a few maxed out lances to try with it, thanks Arekkz looking forward to giving this a go.
God how I love your weapon guide videos, without them I’d wouldn’t know where to start :’)
I AM THE INDESTUCTIBLE WALL!
Or the ever moving wall a.k.a. Evade Lancing. Its funny watching a monster try to hit you with all his, might but still to no avail. I am untouchable.
so am i, and i don't need a shield to be untouchable =P
As soon as I saw the spinning lance I immediately thought “GIGA DRILL BREAK!!!”
Great video! I had a friend suggest lance to me because I liked SnS and played it through most of story. At first I thought "boy this is clunky" so I came to watch a tutorial and learned some of the tricks to getting around with it, now I love it! Thanks!
I have been patiently waiting for this
Wait... YOU CAN GUARD THROUGH ROARS??!
*IM SOLD*
As you can counter with longswords foresight slash
Roars are still attacks in MHW so anything that goes through an attack counters roars. Iirc the GS shoulder goes through charges as well
and you can walk in roars toward the monster
so its better
Ironically the lance is also one of the best weapons to evade with. Evade Lancing is fucking glorious.
remembering the MH4U days lol
Finally been waiting for this thanks
Thank you for the tutorial. It has helped me a great deal and I appreciate your hard work.
"28 stab wounds!"
“Starts new save file because storage errors, decides to play a new weapon”
Safe to say after 4 nergigante deaths I am back to being a lance main
I'm a lance main with over 300h of gameplay of lance on mhw alone and i was ready to get disappointed by this tutorial...i was not. Great guide covers everything i may want to explain to someone wanting to use the lance. Great job, keep up.
Your videos always have more information, moves, and are more in depth than the others out there. Thanks for taking the time and effort to help make scrubs like us a little more competent at the game.
Also, maybe horn next video? :3
one thing you miss to mention is that your power guard actually block in all direction
If you're hunting the tampered deviljho this a must to have on the team or you will get wiped out
thx man these weapon tutorials are the best
I always look forward to Sunday's just for this series
Seems like it would make more sense for the triangle attack to aim up since it's at the top of the button configuration.
I start out with GS but now Lance is my main :)
ah yes a new lance brother like i
As a non-lance user I would say this is the best one you have made so far, largely because of the quality of the final battle commentary at the end.
LBG/HBG main then branched out to CB and IG and now Lance and love the variety of playstyles to keep hunts fresh.
I used the Lance in an arena quest and I felt like I found god
indeed we shall tank and spank
Absolutely love the Lance. I just wish I could switch the hands on my shield and pokey stick, but I got used to lefty style.
TJpek yeah that's not theory thats fact lol so you're spot on
I think the logic is that you are fighting. Massive beasts that could kill you in 1 sweep, so you hold your shield with your dominant arm to raise it faster and so you can brace more effectively.
Then from a game design prospective it is probably to keep the weapon which extends upward to the middle of the screen over to the left side which has the majority of the UI, this leaves the center right side with a large clear area for viewing the monster.
Fatal Foxtrot it’s almost purely because sns can use items so has shield on right therefore they don’t need to make a new animation for eating back in ps1 days
I’m the same way, I really hope MHW gets an update that allow us to switch which hand wield the weapon or position of the hand. Also they should give us an update that will make a mirror image for hair style. But once the Switch gets this game next year (because Nintendo almost always every game a few years later) I’m sure they’ll get a Link skin and he’ll correctly wield the Master Sword and Hyrule Sheild in the correct hands. (He’s a lefty)
Well, now you know how left-handed people feel whenever we play almost every other game.
Great video. There is a lot of info to absorb. I watched it several times.
Thx dude this information was really useful
Lance is definitely an underused weapon but I like that. I don’t want everyone using my main :P
***Cries in Insect Glaive***
"Je suis monté!"
We need an IG that looks like a baguette...
Becca McCookie I second that, although it supports prejudice and bias.
One of my hunting buddies is french and he keeps setting his normally english shoutouts to Je suis monté for shits and giggles, so as long as everyone knows there is no hostility behind it, I think it's fine. He's also great with any weapon, so there won't be a "pardon" for fucking up a mount ;)
Cries in hunting horn fam
This weapon is more fun than it looks! Favorite weapon right now to easily farm tempered Jho, good stuff Arrekz!
I was waiting for this for so long XD
Is Evade Lancing still viable? Really enjoyed being the Flying Lancer in MH4U who hopped through anything to poke the butts of monsters left and right... Also, every time I see that Deviljho Lance spin, my inner nerd screams "Your Lance will be the Lance that pierces the Heavens!"
It is viable, but you need to be precise when you evade, between hops theres a small window where you are indeed vulnerable, so no more 3 hopes of complete invulnerability xd (Which btw was a bit broken back then)
PS: I GOT THAT REFERENCE!
It was broken, but in a game that considered Apex Rajang fair, I was more than happy to abuse it^^ In World I don't mind a less broken mechanic. Not that World doesn't have broken mechanics... *cough* Longsword Foresight Slash *cough*
i havent tried a evade skill focused set yet, powerguard just makes your life easy
and hopping through tailswipes and other little moves does only require a bit of practice as it is relatively ez to i frame without evd skills in world
It's viable but it's no longer the meta. Guard Lancing is the way to go, and the way it should be IMO. You have a shield for a reason
I just wanna say, thank you for that quote, glad I was not the only one who thought about that
Maining lance since tri, playing the Lance is ultimately epic
Heroics 5 or gtfo hehe
the Bloodrush feeling when low on HP and guardlancing the fiercest monsters is just the best
the most fun hunt i had i'd give to Ouma Diablos with a adrenaline guard set striker lance using counter mostly.
(sidehopping through tailswipes casually is nice hehe)
Awesome video Arekkz. Good for learning a few new tricks. However there is a couple of tips you missed that you may want to test for a supplementary video. If you press R2 after jumping off a ledge you’ll immediately start your dash attack (handy for chasing). Also power guard can protect from any direction without having to face the threat. For example if you’ve got a Diablos charging from behind and you’ve no time to turn, power guard.
Great video! I'm going full on lance build in the future! Thanks!
Lance is by far my favorite weapon. There isn't a close second to me. It's the only weapon I don't have any problems with. Not even small nitpicks. I'm just looking for a mind's eye jewel and my build will be complete.
The long time you have to wait if you hit a wall or enemy armor while doing the speedy-stabby-sprinty and not doing the finishing thrust? The character bounces off, steps back a little and then tries to charge again, failing even if there's nothing in front of them, leaving you wide open for way too long
I'm not sure what your point is. If that happened to you you fucked up. That's not an issue with the weapon.
Zer0Hour17 Always funny how that works: I'm a bow main and get relatively little use from that gem and have like 3 of them. That said, lance is my second most used (we're talking 700+ hunts with bow to like 50 with lance), so I have used it some.
SamuFinland if you run into walls that often, just guard, and it will stop the run before hitting the wall
Hope Hunting Horn is next. It's such an interesting weapon yet it confuses me. Either that or Insect Glaive, these two got me befuddled.
Great timing arekkz was planning on picking up the lance
Great video as always! I think my favorite part is where you break down the dps of each weapon during the "best combos" part of the video. Could we get a video comparing the dps of each weapon some time? I would love to see that
I'm just going to assume that hunting horn will be last to have a video on
A shame since its such a really good weapon
its my main weapon, so i look forward to it
I don't doubt it. Its just I don't know how use it yet
“EAT THIS”
Sadly. I love when someone in my party is playing the horn.
Time to craft a Lance! 😂
Every time Arekkz post another weapon workshop, it just makes me want to build the weapon and use it as a main! Dammit Arrekz! Stop making me main all the weapons n MH!
I am a new pc player never touched a hunter game before these videos have been so helpful. thanks dude you are awesome.
How ironic I was thinking earlier I need a stress free weapon to farm jho with
Yeah, for maximum comfort use some kind of Immortal Lance build with Vaal Hazak set bonus and Health Regen on the lance... not the best damage but being able to play recklessly and hardly ever having to use a potion i still manage to kill him in about 10-15 mins solo. But i swear the game knows i'm cheesing the fight... I've killed him 10 times now and only got 2 Warrior Streamstones out of it so far. :(
May I ask what your set setup is?
I posted a video of a tempered deviljho lance build and didn't have to use a single healing item. Guard 5 really makes all the difference.
Vaal Hazak Lance with Health Regen and Sharp Jewel, Dragonking Eyepatch with Tenderizer Jewel, Vaal Mail Beta and Recovery Jewel + Grinder Jewel, Vaal Braces Beta with 3 Medicine Jewels, Vaal Coil Beta with 2 Vitality Jewels, Death Stench Heel Beta with Vitality and Grinder Jewel and the Ironside Charm III.
It gives you Vaal's Super Recovery, 150 base HP for up to 200 with food, +30% recovery when restoring health, 4x health regen speed, Weakness Exploit 3, Handicraft 2 to get that sliver of white sharpness on the lance, Protective Polish to make that last for a minute, Speed Sharpen 2 and Peak Performance 2 since you're at max HP quite often. I opted to go with the Guard charm because Jho's attacks are so relentless i like being able to recover from these hits faster and counterattack more easily, and just Guard 3 from the charm is good enough for that i feel.
If you're not as stingy as i am and want to use Whetfish Fins to speed up sharpening you could replace the 2 Grinder Jewels with something else.
Maybe not the most optimal build but it works for me. Haven't played Lance all that much in World, but with this i generally don't feel threatened by him and still manage to get 10-15 min hunts (with using bombs, traps and capturing him). I just like not having to worry and pretty much buttonmash poke him to death, definitely not the most skillful way of handling him... but whatever works, right? :P
Thanks a lot! I haven't tried the Lance in World yet, so this is definitely a set that will keep me alive while I "git gud" (plus it's an excuse to use that sexy Vaal Lance). Compared to older games World is very firgiving even if you don't max out your DPS, making a lot of playstyles viable. I personally admire speedrunners like Canta, for instance, but I play the game for the David vs. Goliath feeling and the flashy attacks of some weapons, so the playstyle of a speedrunner would take away from that. And if a monster really gives me trouble, I use whatever I can to win... like sleep bombing tempered Kirin to death because I refused to triple cart on my first attempt against a goddamned unicorn...
Because some men dont evade the hits of the life, some men raise their shields and resist.
Very timely as I just picked up a lance hero stone and have been using it to fight tempered deviljho. Thanks bud
I didn’t think you could make the lance look badass but I’m 20 seconds into this video and you’ve proved me wrong
Basic but good
Welp guess I gotta craft a fucking lance now
Nicholas Coleman Why?
The joke is that every weapons workshop video is so well explained and he makes the weapon seem so fun it makes you use the weapon
Punking X lol I understood the joke but the only weapon arekzz convinced me to try was charge blade
Lance is so comfy. I love using it. Been my new main in 2023!
Thanks, Arekkz. Now I feel like I need to learn this weapon, too. I'm still trying to git gud with bow, you're overworking me here
