[MHFU] Tigrex vs Gunlance (5★ Village) (Urgent Quest)

@@HeadHunter455 Can I block any physical attack with a gun lance?

[@hermitcard4494]

@@nicrovender2962 any weapon block can block most attacks. Some attacks you can't block by default and you have to use Guard Up skill(or whatever its name was). And then there are some attacks that trick you by exploding behind you which can be blocked anyway.

[@hermitcard4494]

With a monster that does many fast melee attacks, it's best to mainly poke since that gives you better recovery speed to block and evade than shelling.

[@YANtheONI]

Faster monsters like these are definitely hard to do with slower weapons like the gun Lance, heavy bow gun and hunting horn (hbg is manageable since you can still keep a distance from his roars and spin attacks). Honestly if you mained the GS/LS in MHFU I suggest you try the Gunlace in monster hunter portable third, it's got more moves and is generally a fun experience since you don't feel as slow as you do when using the GL in MHFU. Happy hunting. -A lone Tenno hunter Edit :thanks for these videos, they revive my willingness to face the game that traumatized me as a kid cuz the sinking feeling quest made me stop playing it entirely back when I was 10 or 8

1st; nice video Hunter 2nd: 8:17 and here we see a wild small monster striking again. 3rd: I've just read the description and I kinda know the feeling cause I always do solo training for extra money and points, it can also be fun cause you're doing something new instead of the preparations and weapon you're used to and frustrating cause you need to adapt to the changes of items and equipment. And finally 4th: I'll end it with a "thank you for the vid Hunter" (PS: just noticed it's shorter than my last comment. Welp good day/night to you Hunter.)

[@SuzieB23]

Shoot I was hoping you had a guide with shelling. That’s the only reason I use GL. GL is so much fun in the new games I wanna get good with it in FU too, but looks like playing it without the gun is best (sad). Love almost everything you do keep it up.

[@HeadHunter455]

I dunno if it's really super practical against Tigrex since he's so fast. Shelling really shines when your melee attacks would do less damage, since your shells will deal a flat damage, it's best used against monsters and/or hitzones that are tougher than others, that you would otherwise bounce off or just deal less damage to. As it is, GL vs Tigrex (Tigrex in general) is fuckin rough. I used GL in MHRise the other day with a friend and it was a lot of fun, but yeah, the older games are pretty different.

[@kael070]

Shelling with normal is more for extending combo, long is balanced, and wide is for damage, specially good against armored baddies, but still if your gl has decent raw its better to hit a good spot than spam shelling. Normal gets better in games with the slam into fullburst, in fu gl shelling stays kinda underwhelming.

Gunlance was my first weapon when I started playing MHFU. It's certainly not fun against Tigrex, but I wanted to use it out of spite :V

[@HeadHunter455]

Haha, yeaah Though, with what I know more about the game, I think Gunlance would at least not be *awful* against Tigrex. tbh Lance or GL, particularly because of the strong block, are decent choices IMO I hadn't learned enough about GL, but I want to say that with the up poke going directly into a block, it may be doable. Great job though!! 😄

[@reaperdestt5099]

Damn dude, nice work. Didn't you say the GL was your worst weapon in the game in another video?

[@HeadHunter455]

Haha, thanks! Yeah, I'm really not great with Gunlance 😩 This was pretty fun though! tbh I've never used evasion skills in the old MH games, only ever in MHW, but I've always heard of Evasion builds for Lance users. It's cool stuff :)

[@samurajenskaia801]

Ugh sometime I think very primitively with these games... I never used that upward slash attack.Was like,it's slow,doesn't look like it hurt so much more,why would I use that :D ? Was wondering why I wasn't cutting any tails with my block+stab technique lol Just tried now after pausing that vid and cut a yian garuga's tail I'm so happy ! I'm going to rob so many monsters of their tails now! And I didn't know evade worked for the backdash. But anyway I fought this battle yesterday and ended up letting tigrex corner me against a wall,hugging his neck from the left side and block stabbing him to death with some sweet shelling too.Was more out of despair than by planning but hey,he died :D. Also is there any reason why you eat power seeds rather than drinking some demon juice ? Ps:I'm really happy to have found your vids,it's really helpful to have things explained and shown in simple terms for new players. ~Thank you! (edit: that block at 6:02 was pretty ultra instinct,don't know how you managed to get it on time but holy hell that was nice)

[@cansnake]

power seed gives twice as much attack as demon drug and lasts for 3 minutes, so it's more effective as long as you don't forget to eat another one after 3 minutes

[@HeadHunter455]

To be honest I'm not sure what the damage values are off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure the upward swing, at least, has a faster recovery than a regular stab, just keep in mind you can't combo upswings together, you have to do upswing, stab, upswing or something, like I do in the video. Yep! Lances and Gunlances make very good use of Evasion skills to dunk on monsters. Lance can dodge three times in a row, which is kind of insane. You can do some crazy things with that. Haha, once of my first hunts trying to actually use Gunlance was vs Rathalos. I just sat in shield and would stab every now and then. Now after this hunt, I feel like if I fought him with gunlance it'd go a bit better. For the power seeds vs demon juice, there are different types of damage buffs, some stack with others while others don't stack. Power Seeds last for two minutes and give you 10 raw damage, which is very very useful in almost every situation in the game. Power Pills last for 30 seconds and give you 25 raw damage, which is pretty huge, but will overwrite the power seed buff I think. Power Pills are also notable because after you take them you don't do the flex animation, this allows you do attack immediately after using them. I almost never do, but they are quite good. Demondrugs stack with Power Seeds, and I'll use them sometimes, though I don't like how expensive Mega Demondrugs are... Definitely recommend using Demondrugs if you want though, it's just a catalyst and a power seed, pretty cheap. Demondrugs also last until you cart or the hunt is over, just like the felyne kitchen. Here are the buff categories. You can stack with each category, but you can't stack with the same category. Notice how Demondrugs are in the same as the kitchen, so if you can eat for AuL, that's the same as a Mega Demondrug, I think. [Category 1] Charms [Category 2] Talons [Category 3] Power Seeds, Power Pills, or Demon Flute [Category 4] Demondrug, Mega Demondrug, or Cat Kitchen [Category 5] Attack Up [Small]/[Med]/[Large] from an Armor [Category 6] Hunting Horn Attack Up [Small x1], [Small x2] or [Large x1], [Large x2]

Gunlance was how I've always done this Urgent Quest (across 9 characters, at this point).

[@HeadHunter455]

ok

[@xCCflierx]

I still don't understand how the gunlance worked in this game. Most of the time you're just doing lance stabs. Wyvern blast does extra damage I guess but the regular shells are never reloaded and used

[@JanderStrahd]

I never got to G-Rank in MHFU, but Gunlance was like a Lance that didn't care as much about bad hit zones (and there's always a lot of them). Both Lance and Gunlance are great for breaking parts like Basarios's chest, but in different ways.

[@HeadHunter455]

I think shelling just isn't viable for some monsters, or might just not be worth the sharpness decrease, in this game. I don't actually know, just seems like it to me. It's not... bad or boring, it's actually quite fun, it's just fighting tigrex with it to me is kind of a drag.

Great video btw it inspires me even more to master the gunlance i really like the weapon🥺❤️

[@HeadHunter455]

Well, not really. Early on you're just not going to have many options for things you might want, and what you really might want is either Guarding or Evading skills, and damage. I wouldn't unfortunately, really worry too much about your shelling damage. Feel free to use it and to use wyvern fire, for some monsters with particularly low hitzones it might even be pretty great, but in late game, you're going to be relying mostly on your melee attacks, as far as I'm aware. You could always do some math to figure out if it's worth it, but that's later on. I'd recommend focusing more on your understanding of the weapon first, and worry about your actual equipment a bit later on. You can check out my gunlance hunts if you'd like, though the main one I'm most proud of is my G-Rank Plesioth one, which I think Gunlance works very well against, but you could check out my Nargacuga one too; Plesioth: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ganRe5eIi7SXqMU Narga: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqexeZt-htOMatk In my other videos I may be too bad with Gunlance to be of much help honestly lol, but those I'm pretty confident I did well enough to actually learn from. I hope that helps, good luck and stick with it! 🙂

[@giulia1361]

Shelling does fixed damage that also ignores armor or defense of a monster. Great at breaking things or extending combos but inefficient to do most of the time.

Hunter: didn't end it with a Wyvern Blast My inner GLM: looks down on you atop his Tigrex Skull Throne *"Pathetic..."* (How many tries did you do for this video?
