    QUICK TIP ! Not mentioned by any CZcams Gunlance Turtorial. Overhead smash and wide sweep doesn't not bounce off from monsters only rising slash , quick jab and lunging slash do, Therefore replace the 1st hit of the combo with A shelling attack then do quick reload then ∆+O you can go into overhead smash, full burst , wide sweep , quick reload back to overhead smash and loop it without worrying about weapon bounce

    • @JetsareBack12

      Late at night when all the world is sleeping
      I stay up and think of you
      And I wish on a star
      That somewhere you are thinking of me too
      'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
      'Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
      And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
      Than here in my room dreaming about you and me
      Wonder if you ever see me, and I
      Wonder if you know I'm there
      If you looked in my eyes
      Would you see what's inside?
      Would you even care?
      I just want to hold you close
      But so far, all I have are dreams of you
      So I wait for the day, and the courage to say
      How much I love you
      (Yes I do)
      I'll be dreaming of you tonight
      'Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight ('Til tomorrow)
      And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
      Than here…

    @ZachOfAllTrades7 Před 6 lety +795

    Love the tutorial, great as always, but you forgot to mention a few moves.
    1. By pressing RT/R2 (default) while airborne it will activate the airborne overhead smash and can be followed up with a full burst or a wide sweep.
    2. You forgot to mention the Artillery skill's ability to half the Wyvern's Fire cooldown, which is very useful, especially for Wide shelling type gunlances.
    3. I noticed that not a lot of people know about this, but when you are charging up Wyvern's Fire, if you hold LT/L2 (default) you can aim you shot as you would a ranged weapon! This little tip has saved my Wyvern's Fire from missing on many occasions.

    • @Nyahahameha

    • @darthplagueis13
      @darthplagueis13 Před 6 lety +30

      Also, focus reduces the amount of time it takes to fire a charged shot which is the only way to make charged shots(and thus basically the long shot type in general) tuly viable...

    • @lifebaka
      @lifebaka Před 6 lety +18

      Also, when charging shells, you can adjust the angle you're firing them at between the normal horizontal (what you'd normally have after a lateral thrust), the 45 degree angle (what you'd normally have after a guard thrust), and straight up (what you'd normally have after the upthrust). If you're using charged shells a lot, you can use this to aim higher up on the monster to avoid knocking around teammates (not like your damage cares where it hits the monster), or to focus on breaking higher parts.
      Also also, while guarding, you can hold L2 to strafe. Super useful if you need to face a certain direction to block an attack, but want to move in another direction.

    • @Synthdata
      @Synthdata Před 6 lety +8

      Zachary D'Abramo Also if I remember correctly the airborne R2 also quick reloads in the air before the smash, so you can pull this move by a ledge or hill to go into a full burst even with no ammo.

    There is one Gunlance move missing from this video, when charging a "charged shell" you can actually press "up/forward" on the analog to go from shooting straight into an angle, if you quickly press "up/forward" again you go from angled to shooting straight up, but it has to be done quickly before the charged shell is fired.
    Hope that helped.

      Gunlance is really fun, you just max out your damage output with 5 skills (3 artillery 1 capacity 1 polish) and then you can add as much quality of life improvements like earplugs, guard and evade extender instead of having to go full on damage, it's really refreshing and fun compared to most weapons that end up being all the same weakness exploit, and damage.

    Also of note, while charging a shell, you can tap forward and back on the left thumbstick to change your angle of fire, and will also allow you to perpetually delay your charge shot if you need to wait for a monster to be in a certain position. Additionally, you can tap R2 while jumping off a ledge to slam the ground with an overhead attack that reloads your weapon.

    I recommend Partbreaker on any gunlance armor build; whether you're trying to get a rare drop that requires breaking a part, or just want to weaken a monster by destroying their toughest / most dangerous areas, there's nothing better than a shaped-explosive charge on the end of a stick (that can also cut off tails).
    Quick Sheathing is another incredibly useful skill, because most monsters aren't just going to park themselves within reach of your gunlance and let you stay engaged with them (especially not in a group hunt where they'll have other people to chase). Being able to sheath your weapon super-quick means you can start running or utilize your slinger on a moment's notice.

    Thanks so much for the combo info! I'm a recent convert to the joy of blocking and so I've been using lance and gunlance a lot, gunlance has been harder though due to me not knowing some things like the reload cancelling attacks and being a way to skip to the full burst. Though I will disagree on one thing, with focus and artillery you can very easily include wyvern's fire into regular gameplay. The recharge takes half the time, and focus makes the attack come out faster. Combine the two and you can easily get out two to four wyvern's fire in a hunt, they do impressive damage to any body part so I like to use them on parts that I bounce on.

  • @ishakuraigami6171
    @ishakuraigami6171 Před 6 lety +32

    I'd like to add that shelling has a hidden exhaustion damage value, and shelling a monster's head can make it fall asleep if you do it enough. Depending on how often you use gunlance, you may have seen this a few times. Almost every weapon has a hidden damage value that varies based on attacks used. For example, dual swords have high trip damage on the beyblade attack, and greatsword's tackle has high interruption damage. ~It's why raw damage is not the end-all-be-all in Monster Hunter like other games~ Every weapon's got something about it you can't see. It seems this is all lost info to world, as I scoured the internet before posting this, and it seems hidden values have been forgotten entirely since you can see raw damage numbers now. I say try it yourself, you may notice certain weapons do special things.

      Exhaust isn’t the same as sleep. Exhaust just makes the monster unable to use certain attacks and makes them clumsy.

    • @ishakuraigami6171
      @ishakuraigami6171 Před 6 lety +5

      You're right, exhaust isn't the same as sleep. However, if a monster runs out of stamina or just too low, it will go to sleep on the spot. Low stamina simply makes them clumsy. None puts them out. If I'm not mistaken, Hunting Horn and Gunlances exhaustion damages are also independent of sleep ailment's threshold and are treated differently. Monster's go to sleep as their health goes down because they are also running low on stamina, however some will eat if they only go down to a certain point.

    • @ishakuraigami6171
      @ishakuraigami6171 Před 6 lety +2

      Excuse me, Monsters* go to sleep. And don't worry, this is far from my first monster hunter. And sorry, it is often called STAMINA damage. Exhaust is an ailment that just causes the monster's stamina to drop suddenly, which a monster may try to sleep simply to get back stamina. After double-checking, it is ENTIRELY independent of sleep ailment, and works in a different way. This is also a prime time to get that monster to eat something, say some tinged meat you put down. Or maybe some drugged meat to put him to sleep anyway ;P

    • @darthplagueis13
      @darthplagueis13 Před 6 lety +4

      Exhaustion alone doesn´t result in the monster sleeping. If you exhaust the monster it will most likely run away and try to find somthing to eat. To make a monster go sleep you will either have to use a weapon with the sleep status ailment or deal enough damage to it that it is capready and starts limping to its nest.
      Exhaustion is often coupled with stun/K.O damage though, pretty much all attacks capable of knocking out the monster will also exhaust it(although this sadly doesn´t always go the other way around so you won´t be K.Oing monsters with your gunlance any time soon).

    If someone is reading this comment:
    -while charging a shell you can aim it upwards by tapping up (the timing is wonky). Can choose from 3 different heights, and as long as you are switching heights, the sheel wont fire.
    -You can aim Wyvern's fire vertically by holding L2 while its charging
    -jumping from a ledge with the running upward thrust automatically reloads your shells so you can always end with a full burst.
    -You can loop the upwards thrust with a shell inbetween to reach those hard to hit places. Wonky and slow but more reach and damage than the guard thrust combo.

    Use artillery lvl3 + Capacity

    Not sure if the food skill bombardier affects the wyvren blast. Tho i almost get 370 when i hit a sleeping monster
    It's not much compared to greatsword and charge blade :(

    • @Nlightfoot

    • @elizabethhicks4181
      @elizabethhicks4181 Před 6 lety +12

      The reason why the Wyvern's Fire isn't the best thing for waking up a monster is because it's actually four hits, not one. Think of the explosion as divided into four parts by length, so if you want to get the most out of it, you have to hit all four parts of it. Additionally, since it's four separate attacks, only one of the parts will get the wake up damage, even if you hit all four on the sleeping monster.
      So yes, Gunlance people. Your Wyvernfire is shiny, but let the Greatsword guy make the wake up hit!

    • @aaroncsoka7294
      @aaroncsoka7294 Před 6 lety +2

      Also if you focus on DMG values you're lost anyways. You need to judge DMG inter-sectionally - meaning not comparing any weapon types DMG to any other weapon types DMG. You need to compare Katanas only, GL's only, and so on.
      Remember...every weapon on MH is like every unique char in Tekken, Street Fighter & so on. It's no use comparing the DMG Feng can do with the DMG Xiaou can do & so on.
      ...if you get what I'm saying 😅

      It's pretty simple, just don't try to exclusively use your aerial attacks. Get your 3 extracts, then focus on ground attacks, they're where your damage is at. Mix in your aerials as combo finishers or to chase the monster with an air dash if he moves away, try to stay out of the air if you want to do damage and actually be ready to avoid taking it. I also recommend a kinsect with high speed so that you can send it back in forth extremely fast to get your extracts. And don't forget that circle and back is a sweet dodge attack.
