"shelling recharges wyvernfire" Oh yeah fellas, our sharpness is fucking cooked.

[@AMoralMan]

If you watch the video, during the full burst attacks the sharpness meter barely (if at all) moves. Sharpness is not looking like a problem so far.

[@NibbleSnarph]

Shelling looks like it doesn’t consume sharpness anymore, or if it does it extremely little.

[@itsyaboiguzma]

With the changes to sharpness we can full burst and charge shells to our hearts content without having to sharpen every 0.46seconds

[@joshlewis8860]

Part of the reason you’re all confused thinking it doesn’t consume much (if any) sharpness because you aren’t aware that the Sharpness Meter has been changed. It no longer displays the sharpness level you’re currently at, it instead displays your ENTIRE sharpness bar. So despite looking like it’s not consuming much, it is actually eating a more significant chunk than you realize. We’ll have a better idea of any tweaks they’ve done to the sharpness consumption when we eventually get an open demo. For now just keep in mind that the visual graphic is not the one you’re used to.

[@joshlewis8860]

4:21 Here’s a clear example of shells consuming sharpness. But man you really have to zoom in. I don’t like the new Sharpness Bar. It tries to show waaay too much and consequently fails to effectively convey what’s actually important; how many hits you have left with your current sharpness level.

Something to correct. The wyvern fire recharge is recovered by *any* hit not just shelling. This is in the official control guide and can be seen in your footage when slapping. It means we got the same mechanic as the other ranged weapons.

[@Wordgoblin]

I absolutely love that the quick reload animations are more natural and flow with the combo. Hopefully that means that mastery of the weapon will mean you're just slathering the monsters with shells and it'll look super badass.

[@phydeaux6380]

I like that you can see the sharpness as a single bar with the breakpoints, and the icon showing blade damage as you continue to decline. Also each time you swipe the sharpening stone, you get a portion of your sharpness back. It seems like you might be able to sharpen quicker if your weapon is closer to full sharpness

[@VanderDeck3n]

As for shelling types, it would be very interesting to have elemental shelling this time (unlikely but hey we can dream)

One nice little touch... the seikret picking you up from the ground when it gets called after you're knocked down. Seeing them use their fore legs and scramble as well is so cute!!

[@chewbacachunks8644]

I love the damage numbers I'm seeing from wyvern fire. It's actually worth using, rather than being a dps loss like it was in world. Also helps that it looks like you get to use it much more often. This looks like it is hands down going to be the best iteration of gunlance.

[@petercottantail7850]

It's the same damage numbers as world's lv2 wyvernfire and shelling currently, so not much to comment on right now till we know more about how boosting its damage works with raw and buffs

[@AkaRystik]

Gunlance mains eating good in Wilds man, genuinely excited to see how each weapon plays now.

[@Zulban48]

Funnily enough, I don't play gunlance, but the most interesting thing (or rather new thing) I saw was right at the end of the video you can begin shelling directly after a reload, shooting directly into the air. Seems like it'll be another nice option to attack flying monsters, without needing to do that advancing rising slash thing from older games to aim upwards.

[@pokeness686]

As a Hammer main, I'm a little envious of the other weapons. They seem to have more new features... Hammer got a dash while holding charge and that's huge, I think the big bang combo has armor now, also dope. But idk if there are any new moves on top of that. I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it. On the other hand, Insect Glaive losing its bounce on the midair flurry attack is a freakin' war crime

[@azyaschik]

You get a new epic finisher for the max charge level, which looks hilarious Hunter starts flailing the hammer like a yoyo and then slams it down as you release the button

[@shahs1221]

Jeez they REALLY snapped for gunlance. Feels like someone at Capcom went "THE AGE OF GUNLANCE IS HERE AND NOW, YOU HEATHENS." As a hh main who only started maining gl in Rise, this is making me so excited since now I can carry those two! The fact that hh also was given so much sauce and what straight up looks like the Dark Souls Channeler's dance makes me SO giddy!

[@rivius8151]

so if I'm understanding it right, Power Clashes seem to work sort of like statuses? Build up as you block, then it procs, and monsters get resistance to it over repeated procs? If so, very nice. As someone that loves shields I'm absolutely loving how it is all looking so far.

[@Cloudy573]

I've dabbled with gunlance in most of the older games but the changes in Wilds look amazing, it seriously is making me want to main it. But then, so do lance, bow, SnS, charge blade, LS, and most of the others. It's going to be really hard to pick which weapons I want to prioritize. Good problem to have, I guess!

[@JustAnotherMike_]

This pre-release stuff has been so good for the "Jack of all trades" crowd like myself for exactly that reason (I couldn't decide which weapon was most fun back in my first game, and so I've just played all of them in every game since. Makes the grinding take a lot longer, but it's totally worth it lol)

[@joshlewis8860]

From what I’ve gathered, power clashes occur when you parry (perfect block) a specific monster move. Similar to how monsters have attacks that will grapple the player, monsters in Wilds have (a) move(s) that will trigger the Power Clash when parried. Maybe it’s actually when you party the monster’s grapple attack, that would make sense to me but that part is speculation on my end. If anyone can find footage of a player being grappled and cross reference that with footage of a player initiating a Power Clash with that same monster you’d be able to confirm whether it was the same move or not.

[@ToxycBanana]

The devs have said that power clashes are a hidden meter that builds up, like mounting or statuses, and perfect blocks make that meter rise a lot faster than normal blocks, but any kind of block can do it when it reaches the top of that meter I think of it like a monster getting really upset that it's not able to hit you - and if you don't play the clash minigame correctly, it's actually a punishment for blocking too often because your DPS uptime is gone and if you fail the clash you take a hit

[@GenesicShinZyraelKai]

[@shadowdragon1396]

Wild gunlance looks...wild! I'm excited to see what they do with the best weapon. But I have a lot of questions and potential concerns with it. The gunlance's new moveset seems particularly suited for normal shelling. Which is entirely fine, of course, and looks fun. But with the emphasis on full bursts, I can't help but wonder how wide and long will play. Will there be any changes to the moveset at large? Any changed or wyvernfire?

[@petercottantail7850]

@@RIP_ZYZZ1738 wouldn't be 100% sure just yet.

Someone counted up the damage numbers and the HH only did about 5% less damage than both LS users--and that's with the LS users being buffed by the HH's songs too,you take that away and the HH would've actually been AHEAD. Now Bow...yeah we'll probably be behind all the ranged weapons as per usual lol, but HH definitely has some potential going for it this time...

[@SpaceMuffin-el5pg]

Actually all weapons can power clash. Weapons without a blocking ability have to land an "offset attack" which collides with a monster's attack giving a small chance to power clash. It's not something that you want to try and do with the Insect Glaive but it can be done.

Really curious as to what they will do with other shelling types. They always are better at something, but I don’t think they’ll be as cool as wyrmstake full blast combo with normal shells. Long shelling would do great with the new charged shelling system, but I don’t know where wide will fit in here. It used to be the premier way of shot poking or quickly spamming wyrmstake with two strong shots. Also hoping they introduce elemental shells as well, just imagining a Rey Dau Railgun GL blasting lightning Wyvern fire shots.

[@petercottantail7850]

you can wyrmstake from one shell now with the shell -> running sweep -> wyrmstake. the running widesweep and wyrmstake animations together still outspeed shell shell wyrmstake in older games. even if wide doesn't get a better wyrmstake, the stronger single shell or spam all the shells then go for wyrmstake will be very fast and safe thing to spam for consistent damage. im just hoping that wyrmstake is still strong like world and not mid damage like rise. evade shelling itself is gunna be very nice on wide, reposition and deal the most damage

Honestly a thing i do wonder is how like (likely endgame) hunts are gonna use the weapon swap mechanic, (like a soft alatreon sort of thing for weapon damage aka piercing, bludgeoning, slashing). Like there are arleady some weapons that synergize togheter in skill decently enough, while others.. don't. Hammer + Greatsword both use focus and "can" stun monsters. While yhea i could bring two of the same weapon.. i'd have no reason to swap the weapon. Like imo even if aerial glaive is likely gone it's gonna be one of the most used weapons merely for being able to hit spots that more low hitting weapons just can't + IG's best skills are either overall good skills like airborne or power prolonger WHICH is good on most other weapons.
