The New Perfect Guarding Capacities Of Gunlance - Monster Hunter Wilds Gunlance TGS GL ガンランス

[@gamecavalier3230]

I've always loved Monster Hunter's big heavy shields as an aesthetic, so I'm really glad to see that the Gunlance's shield will finally be seeing use as more than just a decoration! Although I do want to clarify, incase anyone sees 0:45 and gets confused, perfect guard can still take chip damage, it's just that the lessened knockback indirectly reduced the chip damage to zero. Low knockback = No chip damage Medium knockback = 10% chip damage Large knockback = 20% chip damage, if I remember correctly.

[@caoslayer]

I adress it too in the video with an example of taking damage and why a guard skill may be still useful.

@@wolfitoh7981 I think shelling sidestep will work with Evade extender, but it may not be necessary. Feels good all the love guarding is getting in Wilds.

[@GunlessSnake]

I love how much guarding has been buffed up in MH Wilds as a whole. It's been a real blessing to Lance and Gunlance in particular, as now their shields are properly endemic to the overall play style of both weapons.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

Gunlance is always going to be more popular than Lance, though

[@GMurph2336]

Lance’s shield has always been an integral part of its gameplay.

[@Dostwyn]

I just hope the devs don't end up pulling another Iceborne, when they decided they don't really like blocking as a playstyle and started introducing more and more attacks that were either completely unblockable, even with Guard 5 and Guard Up, or that caused so much chip damage that taking them to the face was actually the less deadly option.

[@michaelmcdonald2005]

I know you mentioned it in the video, but I can't stress enough how important the change to WHEN you can guard is. Being unable to cancel the recovery of attacks with guard in older games is one of my least favorite parts of being a Lance main, since you CAN cancel endlag with evade. Now that we can cancel with guard, combat for guard Lancers is going to feel SO much better than it used to. Easily my favorite change so far. Time to play Sekiro on these monsters

[@petercottantail7850]

I'm not saying gunlance should be weaker, but what you were describing was what gave it a reason to be methodical when attacking, knowing when you could do something safely and rewarded using s correctly to dish out more damage, or end your attack early so you could guard. gunlance had both fast attacks and heavy commitment, which let both newer players and experienced have a way to enjoy the weapon. now it's more of a turn your brain off playstyle with little commitment, which is what other weapons were for the people who wanted that kind of experience, while this one was for people who wanted something more out of their weapon. this is similar to people who praise capcom for giving swax a counter because they thought it didn't have any defensive options even though all they had to do was switch back to axe mode for better mobility but just wanted to spam sword mode.

[@michaelmcdonald2005]

@@petercottantail7850 Well I wasn't really talking about Gunlance, was I? Also, I don't see the issue with the two posterchildren of guarding being weapons that revolve around it in Wilds. These changes just make the weapons more fun to play for those of us who prefer slotting in Guard than Evade Window. Evade Lancing will still be just as viable as before, it's just that they've added a new playstyle. Once again, this is coming from a Lance main, not a Gunlance one

It's not even remotely close to the point of the video, but I'm always blown away by the sheer range of Wyvern Fire in Wilds. Really puts the 'GUN' in Gunlance. But yeah, as usual, awesome video. The huge buffs to guarding are so appreciated. While zipping around with Blast Dash, Reverse Blast Dash, and Bullet Barrage was exhilarating, it's great to know that we'll actually be getting good use out of the gigantic shields we're always lugging around.

Being able to guard before your full attack animation finishes is an actual godsend. Double Wyvern Fire is also super rad!

[@ThiagoCRocha-fh6lg]

oh shit, I can't wait to see what Lance will be able to do with this

[@Mr.Fahrenheit825]

I'm happy to see blocking on GL being a very good option now. One of my favorite aspects of Guard Reload in Rise was that I allowed you to play aggressively while also giving you a very reasonable guard you could activate when you needed it (or just needed to quickly reload the Wyrmstake). Talking about the skills in Wilds I have a feeling that if we do get Offensive Guard back it'll probably be as important as something like Artillery on Gunlance sets. I'm also excited to see the potential for Guard style Set Bonuses, like I imagine Uth Duma will have something to do with guarding damage on its bonus (or at the very least some guard on the set because that's the veil is very much described as a defensive tool)

[@DJMJ4]

This gameplay is so beautiful! It's like a whole different weapon!!

[@AkaMax007]

It feels like guarding is now equal to evading. It drops in as an equal option for shield weapons

[@thecyanpanda241]

Especially since evading doesnt build the guard clash(and subsequently the weapons that focus on evading cant guard clash) that means that even the slower weapons that often have trouble keeping up with quicker monsters(such as greatword or gunlance) can make their own openings, while weapons with lower dps outputs like the lance can still greatly contribute to a hunt through holding the monster with a power clash. Personally i think that this is the best possible way they could have balanced guarding while tapping into the power fantasy of being a brick wall.

[@joesheridan9451]

Lance only had low dps in world it was one of the strongest weapons in GU and sunbreak. Even if it’s not that strong a good lance player will be stuck to the monster like glue dishing out constant damage so I think they’ll just about contribute to the hunt…

[@monsterhuntersucks2441]

@@joesheridan9451 While Leaping Thrust Spam Elem Lance was so powerful in Sunbreak, it still couldn't reach the top 7 DPS in overall weapon, hell I think it's only around 9-14 place. You can look up those speedrun attempts, Lance always holds the 11-14 places. If you think the numbers from the top these speedrunner is not reliable, you can try measure the DPS by yourself on PC, get the show DPS mod, Charm editing mod, Qurious armor editing mod (idk if this exist tho) and try all 14 weapons on easy target like 1star/lv300 MR Great Izuchi (since I figure that measuring DPS on harder monster without having in-depth knowledge with weapons will also massively affect the DPS measuring) with the most absurd build like lv1-2 Dereliction + Lv2-3 Blood Awakening + Bloodlust + lv3 Mail of Hellfire/lv3 Dragon Conversion + lv3 Furious and see if Lance DPS would be as insane as LBG, HBG, Bow, GS, DB, LS, SA, CB I'm not disagree with your latter point tho, just saying so you don't get the feeling of me shitting on Lance, I do play it , A LOT, it's my go-to for melee all the time.

[@kyaru-chan4987]

I would argue that guarding is much stronger than evading now, to a significant degree. The base evade is a commital option with few actual i-frames, so you are relying almost entirely on movement to get you out of the way of an attack. It is still very easy to get hit while evading. With guarding there is really no such threat unless the attack has insane chip damage. You also have the opportunity for much more potent follow-ups with perfect guard. Unless they add many more monster attacks that circumvent guarding or cause significant chip damage, I don't see much reason for shield weapons to dodge besides to occasionally reposition.

[@thecyanpanda241]

@kyaru-chan4987 don't forget it costs stamina too, meaning that higher knockbacks cost more stamina. Honestly I want to know how lance power guard works with all of this, and how it counts towards the power clash build-up(as a normal guard or perfect) since against multi hit attacks like rajang multi swipe it would be one of the best options to guard with.

between the buffs to guarding and the fact that they said they are improving the endgame scaling of a lot of gunlances (no longer only having 2 gunlances with highest lvl shelling) gunlance is going to be stronger than its been in a long time

[@denodagor]

Cancelling into guard is unironically the thing I'm most hyped about on the gunlance. What I hated in World that Rise kind of fixed with those wirebug counters is the problem that you could always cancel faster into a dodge than a block on the gunlance.

[@VTRcomics]

I'm really baffled by the loss of our wyvernfire guard point but thank Gog we have guard reloads as a natural part of our kit. Here's hoping we'll later get our guard point added back to the long wyvernfire instead of being roared out of it after a stake or fullburst enrages the monster.

[@caoslayer]

While WF has no guard point, since you can perfect guard and then use a fast one, the result is the same thing but is more pro-active.

[@VTRcomics]

@@caoslayer I guess that's one of my pet peeves going to World from Rise, the enrage roars interrupting my slightly late WF's, but Wilds will probably feel different enough and the WF into WF combo does seem cool in the way you used it against Doshaguma. And World had a special problem with roars anyhow, I know that it'll still be crazy fun.

[@petercottantail7850]

it's not looking good. but there is hope. the logic behind the mixed feelings is that there is a white smoke on hit effect that changes to the element of a weapon if it has element. While the tics of wyrmstake are very hard to make out so there could be white smoke there, but it looks dark and small if anything. but the launching of the wrymstake has white smoke so there's still hope. there is also a white smoke for the shells themselves which is why im certain we will have elemental shells in some capacity

I just noticed you still get high pushback from some attacks even in perfect guard.

Most curiously, i wonder how we will be challenged by the new monster attacks with guard being this good.

[@lazyninja4917]

nice vid ! love your content as a fellow gunlancer but I cannot agree with the statement of gunlance guard sucks ! gunlance is the second best guard in the game and the reload guard skill -guard point- in mh rise is strong and easy !

[@caoslayer]

I address it in the video how even with sunbreak's guard being the best it has been still was overshadowed with rbd. Yes, you can do guard works, but you needed basically guard 5 and embolden plus maybe some guard up while in the other side you could get redirection and heaven sent and get a better one that also recovered your sharpness, worked in unguardable attacks, etc. Guard reload also was slower and didn't fill all your shells... there was trade offs. Wilds guarding capacities even before we factor skills in, it is exponentially better with no requirements and no drawbacks.

[@phdbot4483]

I'm glad Gunlance will benefit more from blocking than ever before. Now it can catch up with Lance and Charge Blade in terms of not having to give up too much offense while blocking. Not to mention, the Perfect Guard will play an important part for Guard loadouts. I guess I can try practicing that on Rise with Lance's Insta-block, or the Adept Style in MH Generations. 🤔

[@joesheridan9451]

Lances insta block is quite different it’s probably low-key the best counter in the series because you can infinitely chain it as fast as you can consecutively tap the r2 button. So in theory if a monster had a crazy fast attack that had 10 rapid hits in it you could counter them all. Even longsword can’t do that. The gunlance guard reload will be like it was in GU valor style

[@rubenotero7100]

Monster Hunters handling of shields since world has been really frustrating, longsword has turned into a counter machine that takes zero damage from parries and counters while lance and gunlance are left slower with worse defense than a weapon with no shield.

[@caoslayer]

nah, it was worse before with the only exception of valor in gu. In SB the shield is actually awesome only outclassed because RBD being so broken.

[@boahnoa99]

Sunbreak added shield tackle to the lance, that combined with perfect guard made the weapon finally feel like the impenetrable wall it was always meant to be. Being able to cancel into a guard is basically shield tackle’s biggest advantage worked into the base kit. You add perfect guards into that and Lance and Gunlance in wilds are both looking incredible. Maybe guarding will finally stop being a disadvantage 🎉.

[@AttackBacon]

As soon as I saw that perfect guard was a universal mechanic and guard now animation cancels like evasion, I knew this game was going to be lit. Cannot wait to play gunlance with these new changes.

[@rustybucket164]

This issue now is how much investment is needed for guard? And is there any unblockable monster attacks? Blocking Fatalis back in World was a big "no no" all because of the pushback. I hope capcom goes easy on turtle strategy.

[@Jblank1016]

3:35 this is the big one for me, letting you cancel into guard as if it was a combo move is gonna make all the guard weapons feel so much nicer, and makes a lot of sense when you consider how other weapons can cancel into evasions. My only current worry is with the non-Gun Lance though lol. If the automatic shield bash after a perfect guard makes it so it is *uniquely* vulnerable to multihits I will cry.

[@rexzakel1802]

Personally not a fan of it if there is little reason to evade now. if Prefect Guard means no chip damage, we get stronger followups, ability to reload... why bother ever evading? I think evade lancing was very fun in older games so i think its a bad of a shame to see the that style will be completely overruled. I feel like most of the buffs to guarding here are fine but cancelling into guards from attacks means evade now rarely has a purpose and we can overextend in a lot of unsafe position and just cancel into guard without needing to worry about position as much. If we have perfect guard and good followups but cannot cancel into it and thus need account for attack recovery time and think about when we should use evade instead for cancellability, I think that would be a better balance and give evades and guarding both their own place in the game. With being able to cancel into guard now it makes the weapon too risk free IMO

[@Syn-eo7yv]

Respect the opinion, but cant relate. This is very exciting for me. While I do enjoy a well timed dodge, I became a Charge Blade main in Worlds because of guard points and how offensive you can play. Take the cancelling into guard comment with a grain of salt, I doubt you can cancel in the middle of any animation, probably more towards the end, though maybe with a bit more freedom than the older games. There's also the chance this could change before the full release. Only time will tell.

[@rexzakel1802]

@@Syn-eo7yv I dont think evade style play is necessarily opposite of offensive but it certainly makes it more cerebral to play offensively since a lot more factors need to be considered. Before, you can guard only if an attack fully recovers which you can have the time to do if your punish was very early and leaves a lot of time. On the other hand, you can cancel into sidesteps which dont have much i-frames and cant work against all attacks with so whether you can cancel early into sidestep and have that work depends highly on the monster and position. You often must think if you want to commit to a bigger punish because if you do it in a place where you cant reasonably sidestep cancel to evade, you must think of whether or not you have enough time to guard instead. Do smaller punishes when you want a big enough window to get to your guard, or cancel into sidesteps if your positioning and timing was good enough to make that possible Guard perhaps did not have enough benefits to make it be used even when it could be, but I think cancelling into guard is overboard because it takes away that aspect where both have their benefits and drawbacks. Weapons that focus on cancelling into guards and counters have their own appeal, but I think Lance, CB, and Longsword have that archetype covered. I dislike seeing Gunlance also become incredibly guard focused and giving you no reason to ever evade. It means there is no more low mobility weapon that still has to use some mobility which I think was a very unique archetype that you'd only find in Monster Hunter and nowhere else, and with this change it might be gone for good.

[@Syn-eo7yv]

@@rexzakel1802 Like I said, we should wait to see how the guard cancel really works before jumping to conclusions. In this video, it seems like the guard comes out well after the attack hits, not in the middle or early parts of the attack. We're also getting the shelling side-step, which is amazing and makes me feel like dodging is still going to be useful. I do think that the shelling side step is good enough, especially with the guard points and perfect guards, in which case, I hope the guard cancel isn't too broken. The guard cancel shouldn't even be necessary if guard points are implemented properly. At the end of the day, gunlance mains are given more options for different types of playstyle (guard vs evade) or maybe a combo of both, so I'll take it as a win. I do agree with you that it may seem a little OP, but we haven't got our hands on the game yet to see.
