Monster Hunter Generations (MHX): Gunlance Tutorial

[@Seveth713]

"When gunlancers attack their vigorous thrusts can result in an explosive climax". You know brother.

[@GunpowderCoffee]

+DeadCore To be fair- the gunlance gives a lot of room for a lot of lewd jokes. And i love it.

[@jonathanherrera6949]

please be gentle gaijin senpai

[@laggalot1012]

+DeadCore Fun fact, that's a quote from the Ace Lancer. He says this in that 1-star Gunlance practice quest in MH4U.

[@Seveth713]

Omg he does, he also says "Hmm did I just say something amusing?" Ace Lancer is the name, thrusting is the game.

[@bapanada]

[@Sejikan]

Thx bro

[@hutki_shira]

Thx

[@coltonoholley4259]

my vigoris thrust also often results in an explosive climax

[@shizzlemcdizzle4439]

oh no you didn't

[@ajparker7575]

I think that was what the Teachers actually said during the training mission from the 0 star missions (bad version of Tutorial above...). In game weapon tutorials pale in comparison to the teachings of Hunter no Gaijin, butt this one is hilarious to read the masters words.

[@ajparker7575]

I think it was a joke since the introduction of it (everyone loves a game dev/team of good humor).

[@RenkaKurogane]

"When Gunlancers attack, their vigorous thrusts can result in an explosive climax" That's what the Ace Lancer tells you in the Gunlance Tutorial of MH4 Ultimate. He has no idea this line can also be quite... hilarious.

[@thehero1325]

XD the innuendo is real

[@liamcrehan3392]

I don't think most people realize that intro was ripped, phrase for phrase, from the in-game mh4u gunlance tutorial. I remember that line cause I was wasting time, doing the weapon tutorials, when the ace lancer pulled THAT line on me and I lost my shit.

[@gaijinhunter]

+Liam Crehan glad someone noticed ^^

[@MasterRJMC]

+gaijin hunter oh Japan, you and your subtle innuendos

[@jeckmester5891]

I love the gunlance's explosive climax.

[@GreyVictory1510]

+Jeck Mester Bayonetta would apreciate. ; )

[@dylweed8]

+Jeck Mester And their vigorous thrust. That can't have been an accident lol

[@SomeGuy-cn5vm]

+Senpai Squid it's a direct quote from the gunlance tutorial of MH4U. The Ace Lancer even comments on the innuendo with "Hm? Did I say something amusing?" Or something along those lines.

[@dylweed8]

Some Guy That's amazing.

[@KaedeLanyo]

....Kreygasm?

[@joshhaworth2155]

And I thought it was a tricky weapon to use before... this is insane...

[@laggalot1012]

Ehh, I want to say it's not so bad, but then I've been playing Gunlance actively since 3U, and it will be my main weapon once more in MHGen after having gotten mostly benched in 4U. I know the weapon pretty well at this point.

[@joshhaworth2155]

It's just a weapon I never grasped what I was supposed to do with. There seems to be no clear approach, but rather just do whatever and kill things. That's just my opinion though.

[@laggalot1012]

Josh Haworth Well, first of all, it helps to remember the Gunlance's go-to combo, that being the stab-stab-uppercut (or triple stab is also good if the style allows it). For larger opportunities, You can fire a shell after the last stab to extend the combo and transition into more stabs. That's the most basic behavior with Gunlance. In MHGen, you've also gotta look for shelling opportunities more than usual to get the heat gauge up. Get it at least in Orange, that's what really matters. And naturally, be careful where you fire your shells, full-burst included. People don't like getting blasted. I often like firing shells upwards, after an uppercut for that reason. Is this the kind of direction you're looking for with the weapon?

[@joshhaworth2155]

that actually helped a lot.

[@laggalot1012]

Josh Haworth In that case, you're welcome.

[@RJTheHero8]

Can't wait for the Charge Blade tutorial. Keep up the good work! ^-^

[@SethAbercromby]

Since you made it a deal with the Striker style, the Gunlance is capable of chaining into Wyvern Fire from several moves. Mot intuitively, hit X+A after a slam to immediately charge up the shot instead of going into a full burst. Less intuitively, you can go into wyvern fire by pressing X+A after the 3rd upward poke, which makes it particularity useful when you succeeded in taking down a flying monster using them. It's honestly quite fascinating how few people actually seem to know about that.

[@FakeDadRealFriend]

The 3rd upward poke WF was something I regularly used in 4u. It's been a feature for a while now.

[@SethAbercromby]

Vincent502 It's been a thing since 3U in fact. Being able to use WF as a combo-finisher was part of the first revision. 4U didn't add too much outside of the jumping attacks and the R+A shell rush I think.

[@FakeDadRealFriend]

Yeah. Shell rush makes sense, though. Lacking an equivalent to shield advance that normal Lance has always felt odd to me.

[@SethAbercromby]

Well, shell rush still only really makes sense in the context of jumping attacks in my opinion, since you essentially are just doing the forward+X charge defaulting to the A interrupt. It still lacks any defensive benefits and is limited in advancement options given how sluggish it is to get into motion with the shield up to correct any misalignments. It's the only method of getting the jumping shell attack though, since forward+X always results in an immediate slam. And Lance is supposed to be the more defensive of the two with the lighter weapon allowing for more versatile movement options. GL is intended to be a sluggish, but powerful technical weapon utilizing an aggressive hammer and anvil approach to combat.

[@jonathanghee4617]

woah, thanks

[@leoleo1035]

Coincidence or when you talk to the Hub Gal for the first time, she mentions a foreign hunter that knows about everything. Is that you, gaijin? :)

[@ImitationJesus]

Been waiting for this vid. Gunlance is my second favorite weapon, and I'm loving the tweaks done to it for MHG

[@aiexmonsterhunter]

I've been waiting so long for this!

[@MKelly-gj1tu]

"...their vigorous thrusts can result in an explosive climax." WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN

[@andre51605]

Pretty sure only a few children play MH(I started playing MH in 4th grade)

[@godzilla16der93]

Thanks Gaijin for another great tutorial. I now main two weapons in MH Gen, this, and Switch Axe. I like both now thanks to you

[@lunastraliasolas7308]

Gaijin my boy you don't know how i'm happy when i see you add a new tutorial video

[@ClearAster]

The Gunlance was my first weapon on the MH series (I started the series on MH3U) but sometime in G rank I changed it for the Switchaxe, I didn't touch it on MH4U but now in Generations I really want to come back to my beginning, so I just made my armor for a Gunlance and I'll apply the things you said in the tutorial to git gut again with the Gunlance, thank you Gajin Hunter!

[@crumble1400]

5:50 you can also do the lance slam with x + a which could lead to full burst

[@GunpowderCoffee]

+Skryeve EXPLOSIONS!

[@laggalot1012]

You know what, I actually didn't know this. I can't believe I wasn't aware of this. Very nice!

[@VxHokage007]

Thank you best grill ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@tuanorton]

What bothers me the most is, while gunlance is one of the most complicated and technical weapons, it doesn't reward hunters for doing well with it. And greatsword is the easiest, and kills monster the fastest

[@Draclord35]

Yes. It was already the case in MH4U. It seems even worse here.

[@jake9854]

It has always been very complicated lol! I mastered it n killing btches with a blast

[@Syn-eo7yv]

I'm assuming he mean "less complex" Gunlance was already slightly tedious to use, now with the heat gauge, it's even worse. The damage output is still decent, I mained it on MH:G on the 3DS. I really feel like the damage nerf + heat gauge was a big F-You to gunlance mains, it's the slowest weapon in the game and needed higher damage to offset being a turtle.

[@KazeMemaryu]

I'm really not satisfied with how the Gunlance turned out in MHX. It seems like the devs were intentionally holding back a lot of potential. Despite the lack in mobility, the raw damage doesn't really iron it out, attacks are still too stiff, and aerial style kinda lacks in "style". The one thing I do love is the hunter arts, but as a GL main, I was hoping for better additions. Also, we still don't have separate elemental/status shelling, which is by far the one thing I'm hoping to see added the most.

[@GunpowderCoffee]

+Kaze Memaryu yeah. I had a lot of time-outs in G content in mh4u already, even when playing as aggressively as i could. I felt it was a bit lacking in the damage department before and i mainly used it as my 3rd main weapon for fun in online, the others being switch axe and insect glaive, which left it in the dust when only looking at the clear times. Hearing that shelling got nerfed i lost any motivation to use this weapon again. Don't get me wrong, it is a great weapon on paper. Pew-pewing is fun and all but it just turned out rather poor in MHX.

[@ax3l0lrat3r]

Wait, Blast dash charges quickly? Oooh... Might main this one.

[@SirFelyne]

+Norbles Xarelon It sucks.

[@NoctanNights]

+James McDaid (Coolcat) Not true. It's all about playing right with it. If you do you do insane damage

[@VxHokage007]

Doesn't suck when you git gud tho ;)

[@tbdtbd8781]

Blast Dash III FTW >:3

[@LVmySwap]

AMAZING TUTORIAL GaijinHunter! I actually find GL even MORE Appealing Now! Thsoe Hunter arts are so Sweet! And Arial fixes the slam slow issue moving it on the vault which is really a bless from heaven,the only problem is to which hunter Art pick since you're locked on only one D:

[@SpikeShadowhunter]

I always love your guide videos :)

[@bonetower]

I'm so glad this exists i had no idea about the unload ability or the upper thrusting...

[@hulberto8106]

Wow, those changes really blew me away. It looks like Gunlance will be a blast to use.

[@legiit5757]

I cannot wait For the SnS tutorial. Those new items that boost its power really get me.

[@dino-t243]

I'm surprised they dropped some motion values since I felt it was mid to low tier in mh4u

[@JanoyCresvaZero]

I haven't noticed! I'm only going by the demo of course, but I'm still able to dish out ridiculous amounts of damage and it's still one of the fastest ways to fell Narga.

[@squidpizza6320]

Well, it's not a total nerf, but in Japan the gunlance is one of the more popular weapons.

[@Draclord35]

+the bonesauce Narga is quite easy to fight with a GL actually. I had more issues with Malfieso.

[@BlaizeTheDragon]

Malfestio is one of the biggest douchebags to grace the series. He is essentially a "fuck you" to anyone using adept or aerial. Nargacuga is a cake walk to adept compared to him. Infact even if you manage to adept evade an attack, he'll just fly into you or tail slap you regardless, if not will confuse you. I've never seen a monster so infuriating. On the flipside, adept gun weapons are great against him but for those who don't use them won't have a good time. (i mentioned aerial as well because he denies you of trying to bounce on him and even if you do he moves away or does the confusion slam)

[@BlaizeTheDragon]

***** Good for you.

[@Zedrinbot]

Hey Gaijin, do you think you could include a link in the description to the shell damage chart you typed up? Just for saving purposes.

[@yx7q]

an unanswered verified comment, tragic...

[@jtrounce6027]

Dang, thanks! As a Gunlance user I didn't know a good deal of this.

[@56Bagels]

YES I've been waiting for this one! I always loved Gunlance but it never felt very complicated, and that coupled with knocking my friends around nonstop made it not worth it to use. Now they'll have NO CHOICE but to see my romance in action!

[@ashenphoenix6869]

Thank you for all the Info I was so confused for a while

[@bazzadin5213]

thrust in 4u= 24 motion thrust in gen=21motion slam in 4u=40 slam in gen= 36 upward strike in 4u=28 upward strike in gen=25 guard poke in 4u=18 guard poke in gen=16 charge scoop/unsheathing attack in 4u=32 charge scoop/unsheathing attack in gen=28 Keeping in mind that orange ups damage by 15% and red ups it to do even more damage, id say the weapon got buffed if anything. Just more difficult to use though. The only shitty things are the shelling nerf and artillery god removal, but that's understandable as the game only has high rank monsters. But what Gunlance did get were some awesome hunter arts, covering the three things this Gen's weapon needed. Some attacks, such as the aerials do more damage in generations as well.

[@TheDarkFable]

Yah I've found the kill times with Aerial style with a normal GL are really fast. I feel the weapon is in a lot better place than 4U

[@Vipera217]

finally . at the end of the day.. i found something i can comprehend. hats off sensei!

[@Blitzbogen]

I can't wait for the dual blade tutorial

[@fluffdafire157]

Man I love this game and I never knew how neat the gun Lance is until I watched this since I play every weapon after I beat every monster with the prior weapon

[@TNB12]

I'll definitely go for striker style with wide gunlance, those hunter arts look pretty amazing.

[@cheziejosh9670]

+gaijin hunter Just wanted to clear up some misconception; the decrease in motion values (at least for the 8 lance attacks) is more of a 10 percent decrease, not 15 (if my math is correct). This causes the Red Portion of the gunlance gauge to be about a 7% increase of Mh4u's (as opposed to a 15 percent decrease, which would lead to Mhx's red gauge being 2 percent stronger than mh4u's damage)

[@LucidOrdinance]

Man, I'm really gonna miss just wide shelling everything to death now. Oh well, still pretty fun in its current state. Thanks for the vid, G-man.

[@pedrito890]

also keep in mind that the hunter art that brings your gauge to red does prevent you from using wyverns fire afterwards

[@humzak8502]

'Tripping' :P But seriously great video as always Gaijin ^.^

[@Sajin_71]

I played Guild Style Gunlance at PAX East this past weekend. I really should have gone Striker instead, I just went Guild because I wanted to practice balancing the new gauge mechanic before anything else.

[@TheHaaaaaay]

After taking a 9 month break from this game i picked it up and decided to take up gunlance; as the only weapon i have never truly put time into throughout the entire series. With the addition of the styles and hunting arts I dont think ive ever had so much fun learning a weapon. Charge blade was a close second. Sure its very technical. Sure there isnt much reward to mastering your heat gauge and the weapon related skills are expensive to invest in. Doesnt change the fact that its very engaging to bury a monster in a mountain of flames.

[@mycen1180]

Found this very helpful, ages after the game release I got bored of the GS and CB want to try the GL.

[@deltashadow2378]

With that blast dash I can finally fulfill my dreams of becoming rocket. Also I really prefer striker style due to all the great arts it has even for normal gunlances although I tend to use mostly long gunlances due to their bonus in wyvern fire.

[@randomd00d19]

Still playing the demo, (game comes out tomorrow and I can't be happier) so I decided to fool around with adept gunlance some more. And holy crap it's strong. Learn how to be patient with adept guard and manage that heat gauge, and you'll be doing so much damage! It's beautiful. Try it if you haven't before. It feels sooooo good. The arts are so strong that they probably had to nerf the gunlance to compensate. The dragon blast also charges super fast (compared to normal, unmodified wyvern fire). So make sure to ALWAYS LAND THOSE.

[@jordanwilliam3207]

I wasn't even aware that the base power for Gunlance is weaker than in 4U. But this is problably because I almosr never use the Gunlance.

[@shafouingue]

+Jordan William If I understand correctly, the motion values in yellow gauge are weaker BUT the overall weapon is more viable and balanced, imo 4u's gunlance was pretty weak (compared to the godly 4u's insect glaive and charged blade)

[@caseydude97]

What's a gunlance? .-.

[@cimoa]

i will probably start as a Gunlancer when the game finally out! looking forward for your sets/mixed sets for GL!

[@Pachiku93]

I don't usually like weapons this technical but the gunlance looks brutal. A true glory weapon (or roman)

[@Bridges7890]

I really prefer Striker style for Gunlance, it let's me play the weapon like how I did in Freedom Unite, the way I've always preferred it. I never truly got used to the changes they made to Gunlance in Portable 3rd so having the option to go back to old style Gunlancing is great for me.

[@apoloserasu3475]

I only just figured this out now but you can also chain any Full Burst into a sidestep and full reload, at least on the Aerial Style.

[@kallistnemain2343]

Awesome video. This is only the second time Ive seen someone mention HOW to do a full-burst with out just saying "Just do a Full burst". Cant even find it anywhere in the game or its manual.

[@Dw7freak]

The Blast Dash appears to add some much needed mobility while ending in a full-burst and looks fun to boot. It also appears to do mounting damage if done off a ledge. The Great Wyvern Fire is strong, but if they run into it during the move, they suffer much less damage so it needs a large opening to utilize. Wyvern's Breath, on the other hand, is very strong. If in long shot, it hurts to lose the increased damage of your wyvern fire, but it helps the other 2 shot types greatly with increased damage and shelling power. With these 3 strong arts, I'm thinking of maining GL through the solo content.

[@Seveth713]

Yh the blast dash helps with striker's inability to slam-blast and wyvern's breath is straight up awesome. 3 minutes is really long.

[@Dw7freak]

I just realized that you can use Wyvern's Breath even when Wyvern Fire's on cooldown and the gauge is locked so it's still very good for long shots.

[@s07195]

Can't believe I didn't know about the Aerial slam -> triple x combo...

[@deathofme1]

aerial gunlance makes me feel like a rock star

[@DBurner9]

The lack of mobility was something that bugged me for a long time for the GL but seeing this actually makes me want to get good with it in prep for this game.

[@Draclord35]

Mobility was never an issue with evade dist and playing evade GL... But hey! Let's increase mobility with a silly weapon art and nerf damages some more!

[@lidla2008]

The best part of the sex joke was the fact that you said it with a completely straight face lmao

[@shaqb9733]

"Vigorous thrusts, explosive climax..."

[@DuckHunterVideos]

The first time I saw the changes done to the Gunlance, I was a bit dissappointed on the damage nerf, but now that I see it in action, I think I might dig the changes if I give them enough time to settle

[@Paperfiasco]

rewatching these to retrain myself for Generations Ultimate...boy it's especially interesting having adjusted to the combos in World, especially for Normal Type Gunlances since chaining slams for constant Full Bursts got so much easier. I'll say this, I know he vouches for Adept Style hard...but no matter how many times I play this game (and I've put in 500+ hours) ...getting the timing for Adept just NEVER happened for me, I hate using it as a result. No matter how many times I try and practice, I can't ever get that Style to work for me. I'll just stick to good ol' reliable Guild Style.

[@BowandSvent]

So, when you do the arial style's forward dodge/lunge, does it have a guard function to it like the lance's shield charge? (The R+Forward+X)

[@TheLloydLightning]

Adept, Normal Shots, First Hunter Art thats could be funny

[@YozoraRose]

The amount of puns in the first 10 seconds..

[@mrbubblestea]

Gunlance is a very sensual weapon

[@Rengrin]

Bummer about the motion value nerf, but it looks like Normal type shells got a lot of indirect buffs. Not to mention the huge amount of added versatility given to the gunlance with each of the styles. Lancers might be able to adjust to the Gunlance gameplay a lot easier with Aerial and Striker styles, and Adept just looks like loads of fun!

[@Zubagon]

Hey, Gaijin! Mind cookin' up a Dual Blades tutorial some time soon? It doesn't have to be next, since you probably already have something planned/work done on the next one, but maybe the one after? Thanks a million! We love you! :D

[@MasterRJMC]

+Caleb Torres or SnS?

[@s07195]

I don't think you mentioned the R+X upper stab MV...

[@marcopanichi3766]

I love to play GL normal and i'm searching the "best" GL and skills to match with. Pewderkeg with Bombarier+Artillery for blasting is an easy option but what you think about Big Slugger with Blunt? Can you suggest me?! I'm a Full Brust lover, tnx!

[@avalabbaman]

Does the Super Wyvern Cannon Art deal raw damage like shelling and regular WF? Or does it scale witch the weapon attack and the monster hitzone?

[@noladude5047]

"When gunlancers attack, their vigorous thrusts can result in an explosive climax" I'm dead😂

[@christopherbryan160]

Vigorous thrusts? explosive climax? are those supposed to be some sort of innuendo?(btw, I know its in the MH4U tutorial for it)

[@LtHavoc]

Been playing GL and loving it since MH3, also had MHX and been loving it so much, will be maining it for generations! BOOMCREW!

[@JTrizzleFizzle]

Do you think this will bring more people into playing the GL? I never saw many of them in MH4U. I always liked the concept but I never really got into using one.

[@Draclord35]

Seems even more complicated than before to be efficient (you have to manage your heat gauge on top of the ammo and evade lancing... I mean, seriously?). So I would rather say it will be worse than before.

[@Shadowfang99]

+Draclord35 Evade lancing isn't the only way to use a Gunlance. in mh4u I played through the whole game using only Gunlance and I didn't evade Lance I just played with the shells and thrusts as it was meant to be used and it worked great. What really hurts Gunlance in generations is no artillery God. that was the only thing keeping this weapon alive and I really doubt it will be G rank viable without it. I will still try to the best with the weapon this time around but, I fear Lance will just overshadow it now and Lance isn't even all that great to begin with so that says a lot about Gunlance... (Sorry for any bad English lol)

[@Draclord35]

+Howling Houndoom Shelling was useless far into G rank (DLC and 140 GQ). It wasn't worth it damage wise compared to poking with a good honed element GL or blast GL or a relic. Shelling is the bread and butter of GL only on wide GL. Otherwise poking and WF will be most of your damages on long type and poking + full burst will be most of your DPS on normal GL. It sounds like you mostely played wide GL. I must say that striker style on a long GL will probably be great (super easy to stay in the red part of the heat gauge) and adept style on a normal GL is pretty sweet (full quick reload + slam + full burst after parry).

[@Shadowfang99]

+Draclord35 Nice observation there I only used wide Gunlance since I thought at the time it was the best way to use GL, of course this wasn't always the case. I have played the Demo quite al lot and I have to agree. I think striker Gunlance will be quite good because all three GL exclusive arts seem great! I think that Gunlance will be able to pull through the redesign but we will have to wait and see.

[@Draclord35]

+Howling Houndoom Indeed. I'm reconsidering my opinion about adept GL though. The shield animation is painfully slow (so, forget about reloading without doing a successful guard) and you lose the ability to "run'n shell" which is very practical to manage the heat gauge and close the gap between you and the monster. What you can do on a successful guard isn't that great IMO. Quick reload of 5 shots is awesome (but you can barely do it the normal way anymore) and the full combo is way too long (rarely touched narga with the FB at the end). Aerial is awesome though. Never thought I would enjoy it but the jump is actually pretty good for mobility (hopefully it will work well with evade GLing).

[@ExcieXC]

Yay Gunlance!

[@NM-br1rb]

Wow I'm early Uhhh 'Explosive Climax ;)'

[@suimikadohikaru6620]

This weapon and Switch Axe, somehow just dont sit well with me. But because of that, i'll use it in MHX as my first main weapon to clear the story. I'll enjoy this weapon - i must. Nice video gaijin :) thank you very much.

[@JanoyCresvaZero]

I promise, once you get it down, it's an absolute delight. It is, by far, my absolute favorite weapon in the game.

[@suimikadohikaru6620]

I've tried using this weapon for about 200 usage. But i don't think i have fully understood this weapon. Somehow, for me, this weapon needs to be studied longer than any other weapon.

[@TheDarkFable]

+Suimikado Hikaru Try aerial style. It turns the gunlance into a much more mobile style of fighting rather than defensive like the others.

[@TheDarkFable]

+Suimikado Hikaru Try aerial style. It turns the gunlance into a much more mobile style of fighting rather than defensive like the others.

[@suimikadohikaru6620]

Already :) aerial and adept is very great with normal type gunlance.

[@ThePeoplesMoai]

All H. Styles are great... Striker brings back memories from MHFU... Triple pokes, shell, repeat... Back when GL was a f*cking beast in FU... Aerial it's just too good to not use... 3 pokes aswell, but shotgun slamming in the air it's pretty neat, because I loved that move in MH4U. Adept it's very good aswell. Anyway, it's a nice weapon, 1 of my favourites, but I'm going to focus a little bit more with the actual lance/thrust damage in MHGen.

[@AhranMaoDante]

Yeah, I also plan to focus more on Thrusts this time around, which is why I'll be using Striker with Wide and Long types for the most part; though I'll still use a few Normal + Tamarod with Aerial, but I'll still use Thrusts more. Even have a nice Mixed set put together that should work quite well with that.

[@Megazeru]

So from what I've seen playing the demo it looks like the heat gauge unlocks when wyvern fire is active again. You said that with the artillery skills the cooldown goes to 100-90 secs, when you get wyvern fire does it also unlock the heat gauge or does it let u use wyvern fire while the gauge is locked?

[@Godsend777]

hi,gaijin hunter,for the striker style if U use the hunting art blast dash,does it will sitll able to do a full blast at the end of the dash?

[@Joeynator3000]

I forget what it's called (the art where the hunter dashes), but I couldn't seem to do any damage with it...what am I missing here?

[@stepbro8715]

If you have Striker style and use blast dash, can you do the slam with the full burst in the end? Or no?

[@Joeynator3000]

...I'm a Gunlance user, so this is pretty cool... Dunno what I was doing wrong, but the GL basically became unreliable towards the end of 4U. Since it always took me forever to take monsters down. (...besides Tigrex) Basically seems it has been balanced a bit here.

[@Draclord35]

If by balanced you mean nerfed... then yes.

[@TNB12]

As a Gunlance main myself, I wish they'd just restore the weapon to how it was in P3rd and 3U. That's the best version of the Gunlance we ever got.

[@captsavajho4352]

In the shell damage chart at 7:23 in the "Shell" column, what do the numbers in parentheses mean?

[@takerukane14]

"Come on and Slam, welcome to the jam"

[@cerperalpurpose]

About artillery, with expert the cooldown is slower than novice? 2/3>1/2

[@TheCoincidence]

Honest question, why don't the Gunlance shells scale with raw? Would that entail other problems? I don't use the weapon, but it's a very interesting one mechanically. Any hopes for an SnS or CB video next?

[@alifimran7053]

Hey Adam, What are your thoughts on the Gunlance when being compared to the previous titles? With my experience, in MHFU and MH4U, the gunlance was a very situational weapon, and when the situation, whatever it may be, is in need of a gunlance , it is rather underwhelming, this sort of made me play every weapon except for the gunlance. So what are your thoughts on the current Gunlance?

[@CCCM89]

does the heat gauge effect shelling damage, or only a modifier from physical attacks of the gunlance?

[@robertjones8260]

If the yellow gauge was the equivalent of MH4U with the orange and red levels giving 5% and 10% bonuses respectively, it would be awesome. The heat gauge would simply be bonus damage. Instead they decided to nerf your initial damage into the ground to make shelling a requirement....and also lowered shelling damage. Wide GLs are nerfed while Normal is buffed. This is due to shelling damage decrease and the increase in the number of ways you can perform a full burst. I still love my Gunlance but I'm not quite sure why Capcom would take one of the least used weapons in the series and effectively nerf it.

The intro.... Phrasing

[@Laugh136]

So I've been having a lot of fun with Aerial Style gunlance in the demo, but I have a quick question. Apparently there's this new skill called "Blunt Sword" which increases your weapon's power as you lose sharpness. Does this power boost affect the gunlance's shells, or does it only affect the thrusts? If Blunt Sword does affect shells, that'd be amazing, because the gunlance already goes through sharpness pretty quickly, but less sharpness doesn't really affect it's shells as they ignore a monster's defense.

What Style/Gun Lance Type would you recommend for someone learning to use the Gun lance?

[@Phanta.T]

I like the honesty about dmg lol

[@jessepaynter3752]

Oh yeah when ever I vigorously thrust it always ends in an explosive climax

[@ninjaone1]

Question, are you able to do shots out of the adept uppercut? I could see this being really good for wide if so, especially if the shots come out elevated.

[@EctInc]

What style do you think is best for multiplayer? That is, which style is least likely to hit unassuming party members?

[@AxeDoesStuff]

Aerial since the blast is above the players

[@SethAbercromby]

I agree, most likely aerial, but the blast can still knock other aerial users out of the air especially when using wide shot, so be mindful of your timing. Full bursts are the easiest to time but the hardest ones to aim. You'll probably end up blasting a bunch of them around when things get crowded. Generally, I'd advise to ping whenever you are about to charge your Wyvern Fire so everyone can clear the blast zone or adept style users can use it for a free evade/block. Personal favorite is Adept Long shot, because once you're in the red, you'd be hard pressed to never find an opportunity to get out a WF.

[@HappiestSadGuy]

NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY PEOPLE HAVE SUCH A DISPOSTION TOWARDS ALL CAPS. #ALLCAPSMATTER

[@ivanlagayacrus1891]

+HappiestSadGuy because caps is usually read as being loud, so it seems like you're yelling at people... prolly just me that sees that way, just a pet peeve I guess

[@EliteWizzerd946]

[@TarusSN]

[@walkthroughmaker14]

I am loving adept style in this game, still trying to get used to being more mobile with blast dash though :P I just forget I have it most of the time.
