People dont understand that with lance, the complexity and fun comes from the monster and learning to play around its moves so you can go toe-to-toe with it. Most other weapons just try to avoid the monster and do their own, disconnected thing to make the damage numbers go big, while lance requires constant engagement with the monsters moveset.

Actually historically evade lance was even earlier in generation 2 and the narga evade plus set. Nargacuga gear would allow both LL and GL to backhop through literally anything, and was a strong moveset worth mastering. You'd see LL/GL mains not even sheathing their weapon and instead turning around to backhop INTO the monster.

Not necessarily. In FU it was known for its shieldpoke (it wasn't good even back then, but casual players used it because it was safe 99% of the time and would very slowly and reliably kill monsters if you weren't good at the game). Nowadays because comboing is always an option the shieldpoke is practically unused and most people seem to forget it exists. And in MH1 it was known as the easiest weapon to use to headlock the largest number of monsters (headlocking is where you stagger a monster by hitting its weakpoint, generally its head, and then as soon as it recovers you hit the damage threshold to stagger it again, effectively trapping it in place until your sharpness goes down or it does; notably in World this once again became extremely easy to do with Lance on Kushala).
Nothing. 10/10 peak gameplay. I use poke-poke-poke-counterpoke, as I prefer to be stationary.

In MH1 and 2 the lance was king. Its hard to use but if you got one that did enough damage you could indefinitely head lock "filcch " till they were dead. Long as they could be flinched. All you have to do was upward thrust 3 times back step wait like 1/2 sec and repeat and mob couldn't even do anything. You just have the other players focus on cutting off parts and if tail was cut off it would break the chain but you just put them back into it.

A few notes: In mh1 specific more than rest old gen lance was really strong because of a bug calculating the formula wrong similar to sns in freedom 1 Lance in tri was very good. Too tier in fact. So good they felt the need to nerf it immediately afterwards In mhw iceborn despite the stronger emphasis on element they tried to go with in the expansion for whatever bizarre reason they nerfed the element% of damage lance did per hit from base world. No idea why it seemed as random and arbitrary as nerfing dragon piercer which was already niche at that point compared to element bow.

The fact you didn't show the black dragon Lance headlocking and going toe to toe with Fatalis, a monster no one online at the time could even fight without being 1 shot with melee weapons in the first game is a massive disservice. The weapon was so busted that they needed all the other game iterations to smear its name! On a more serious note, its just a precise, defensive weapon in a game people already devised ways of being one or both of those but better. HBG shield just a walking, comfy tank that can freely aim and do BIG dmg. Sticky is an opening machine and satisfying just popping things in the face. Gunlance having the meaty shield with all the complexities of shelling, the comfort of not having to bring traditional blademaster skills and the flashiness lacking in Lance. Lance is prob like middle of the pack for me. Bottom is prob hammer for similar main reasons I mentioned. SNS just because FC can be annoying to fight certain monsters at times where you need a really sweaty weapon to get the job done (dual blades vs alatreon comes to mind. Thats in the context of multiplayer with new people that brought like a safi shatter weapon and can't even be helped to just live long enough for the explosion in the first place)

There are also the almighty reflect and obscurity skills: reflect would damage a monster when you blocked an attack (the 3rd level with the Zenith boost has a motion value of 68 iirc) while obscurity increases attack and affinity on successful guards (being knocked down takes the buff away) Extreme lance is pretty neat in frontier, I use it alongside Swaxe F for grinding out lower tier Zenith Monsters.

Lance is my second favorite weapon next to charge blade. I think it's unpopular because it's very misunderstood due to the initial clunkiness the lances feel at first compared to other weapons that feel faster. Then it's dropped immediately and called easy under the assumption that you hold block and slowly walk around the whole fight. But man, sticking to a monster and constantly advancing through attacks, throwing a counter in the middle of your pokes to keep the combo going, and in GU, that shield charge? Mua. And yeah, Rise I think kinda took away most weapon's signature play style by giving everything a one button wirebug instant counter

@@yesimchar I see why people like it, but it’s just not lance to me. Lance has remained largely unchanged for 4.5 generations, then receives a parry at the tail end of 5th? It just feels very unlancelike to me

@@zrevi5918 but what are you gonna do when Wilds probably removes the parry? Stop playing the weapon? That’s why I hate it, people fell in love with Rise’s hyper aggressive lance, not the actual weapon

@@Elehk99 sorry about this, I think I just misunderstood that parry=counter. Parry would be the insta-block right? Yes I do like it but what made me love lance would be the aggressiveness. If it follows from world lance then my answer to your question would be yes. World lance for me is also a hyper aggressive weapon. And you need to be aggressive to be able to go toe to toe with other weapons. I went from psp MH games straight to rise then to world so I dont have that much experience on other lances but I think if someone really likes lance, if there is parry or not they would still play it. Parry for me is quite good but definitely not a reason for someone to use/main lance. Its about being aggressive (for me). Fun fact: I finished world just a few weeks ago with lance. Fugging struggled on fatalis for more than 8hrs but a win is still a win even if I only got a minute before the timer.

All great but the major problem with lance right now is that capcom took lance identity of ''defend&retaliate'' and gave it to every single weapon in the form of counters. Even giving other weapons counters that safeguard against moves that even the lance cannot block. so you keep asking yourself this question.. why am I playing this slow moveset, low damage, to block and counter when dps weapons can do the same? greatest offender of course is the favorite child of Capcom, the long-sword. I understand that a Japanese game would favor katanas but not being able to block or counter a death energy beam with lance MASSIVE shield, but being able to emerge unscathed with a counter from long-sword feels disrespectful and a insult. giving safe options and counters to every weapon is what killed the lance reason to exist, we only play it out of love now, its not the best at something (defense) anymore
@andreacalcagno1991 Жыл бұрын
I mean, and don't wanna be rude, while your argument is correct in theory, in practice lance is the 4th highest dps in the melee category, and long sword in particular is below pretty much anything else in the game atm, also lance doesn't need to invest in a lot of skills to become incredibly defensively proficient, and while the other weapons have some sort of counter mechanic available to them to be able to defend against the huge aoes, lance is the only one able to make use of their defensive tools offensively at the same time, I feel like you are not considering how wirebug dependant the other defensive options in the game are. A better form of criticism would be that the weakest shield in the game is now the strongest in the form of guard embolden SnS, which is frankly ridiculous considering that it is also the third highest melee dps, but imho SnS deserves some love, and after TU6 lance, Gl and SnS became significantly better than anything else bar strong stance GS and DB.

Lance was one of my main weapons back in Tri and it carried me through most of the game. I barely touched it during Gen 4, but now in Sunbreak I've picked it up again. Is actually very fun, even if it's damage is not as crazy as other weapons.

As a half Lance Main(I use GS too a lot), I wonder what they'll do with Lance's moveset in MH6. MHW and Rise's iterations of Lance feel so refined but imo they haven't felt as flashy as it did in Generations, I wondering if it'll change much in the next game(prolly not)

Clutch claw counter is single handedly the best move for lance in ib it feels so satisfying to use and makes every other weapon feel so much worse on top of not having a shield that you can deny any monster attack with. Lance is and will always be our main weapon, I just hate that it took me 600 hours to find it!
@Val-sp2sz7 ай бұрын
I'm a lance main and consequentially sort of love the clutch claw even though it was super hated. Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing claw as a lance exclusive in MH Wilds (maybe with select wire bug abilities like closed jump).
