Why GUNLANCE is the BEST Weapon in Monster Hunter Wilds - Gunlance Gameplay Combos & Showcase MHWs

[@darkhero2]

I never thought I would say this ... but I might just become a Gunlance main in Wilds

[@Arkyuu]

Ruri and CaoSlayer's spirit be with us. Gunlance will always be one of my faves and Wilds just made it even more so x100

[@ComfortZoneComic]

if i get to play wilds than it`s defo going to be my 2nd main. i will 4ever wish for a Sunbreak Bullet Barrage to make a return down the line

[@Bao598]

Welcolme to the darkside man, i hope you enjoy your stay with us

[@EvgGaar]

Shells do scale with attack in Wilds, as far as I remember from the gamescom interviews.

[@steelzinogre1686]

With the testing I did during the beta, it does. I saw a boost when using both the attack up horn song and the Doshaguma set bonus

[@mohamedbinishaq3169]

@@steelzinogre1686don’t you need a counter to activate the skill?I thought that gunlance doesn’t have a counter

[@itsyaboiguzma]

As a gunlance main since FU I approve this video. Things that I'd like to point out though that weren't in the beta. Is shelling types and power. There are 3 types of shelling each encouraging different playstyles. Wide: Highest shell damage, lowest ammo. Specialize in poke shell, poke shell repeat and wyvern fire. In older games it recieved a damage decrease while full bursting which Im curious if thats back in wilds judging by the most ideal combo is multi-blast into full blast wyrmstake. Long: most range out of all shells, medium capacity (4-5 shells) specialize in charged shelling which once again dont know how it'll function in wilds. Seems like charge into wyvern fire may be ideal because 2 charged salvos instantly recharge wyvern fire but charged shells dont combo into anything. Normal: what most are accustomed to during the beta, lowest base shell damage, high capacity. Specialize in the full burst and now multiburst playstyle. Bad at charged shelling.

[@WallerSon]

I'm assuming only Normal was available in the beta right? So all the footage I've seen could only have been normal?

[@itsyaboiguzma]

That is correct the only available gunlance was the Hope variant which only had access to normal shells

[@CuriousJet]

This is by far the most useful how-to guide for Gunlance on KZbin. I was very impressed by Gunlance damage but couldn't really make consistent output. Hard to believe I actually enjoyed playing Gunlace, because I usually really prefer mobility. I can't wait for the next beta or the actual release to get my hands on it.

[@brianemmanuel6731]

Fun check Swag check Combos check i gonna main Gunlance in Wild, hell yeah!

[@shugokithethicc7246]

Recommended to me in the first 3 minutes. Congrats for playing the KZbin algorithm

[@Jynogre]

I've been playing gunlance since I started playing MH back in dos, has always been and still is my favourite weapon and I can not express how much I'm in love with its new moves in wilds, point guards on those sweeping burst combos, quick and full reload!? So freaking good dude, love it.

[@jarreththomson4535]

2 bits, 1 when you're doing your wyrmstake combo if you dont have a wyrmstake loaded it wont interrupt the combo it will just reload instead of doing the dmg but you can still finish the combo in its entirety. also when you wyvernfire after a wyrmstake the cast time for the wyvernfire is significantly shorter

[@ravenseah2368]

Thanks for this video. With the likely end to aerial glaive, i plan to go gunlance for Wilds. This video is very useful.

[@kablashazam7793]

Please make a tierlist on the easiest weapons in wilds

[@KidDynamite22]

Another thing which is important is that shells ignore hit zones, hardness etc they’re true damage

[@kingbappo2185]

First MH game im going to actually playfully I'm playing MHW rn and the beta has me begging for it to come out

[@stepbro6646]

You earned my respect bro. Instead of just yapping and hyping up the weapon, you gave a shoutout to caoslayer one of the OG gunlance players. Gunlance is indeed fun, it was between this weapon and bow for me, Sadly, with how the wound mechanic works, its always a competition between you and your group on who will pop the wound first, and bow is by far the best at doing this. With a bow user on your group, its almost impossible to destroy wounds with other weapons.

[@Vyo1983]

Why is this a competition? Some weapons get buffs for popping wounds, like IG and LS, also wounds shouldn't be popped right away and you should use them for the increased damage first. The question will be, if you hunt with people that know what they are doing or not, but its been always like this.

[@JalkrTheHydra]

Really love everything they did with gunlance. The range on wyvernfire is the epitome of welcomed change.

[@xeio1122]

As a gunlance main in world, I appreciate this greatly.

[@CorazonLaw1]

One of the biggest change they made is that the shells don't consume sharpness anymore. Also, you should try gunlance in Sunbreak too if you haven't yet, that was the most fun weapon in all of gaming for me.

[@silkwind7618]

The Bread and Butter: > Forward Starting Combo (Shell then Moving Swipe) > Followed by Burst Fire > To Wyvern Stake (Full Blast) > Then Combo Both Burst Fire and Stake WITH Guard Point without reload. (Multi Full Blast)

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must have been something you said I just died in your arms tonight I keep lookin' for somethin' I can't get Broken hearts lie all around me And I don't see an easy way to get out of this Her diary, it sits by the bedside table The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away I should've walked away Is there any just cause for feelin' like this? On the surface, I'm a name on a list I try to be discreet, but then blow it again I've lost and found, it's my final mistake She's loving by proxy, no give and all take 'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away I should've walked away It was a long hot night She made it easy, she made it feel right But now it's over, the moment has gone I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away I should've walked away

[@b.b6656]

IG is of course the best weapon, even tho it's in a weird state rn. But GL shows how the removal of aerial/blast dash can be done properly. I wont put GL anywhere near my both IGs i'll be maining but it looks really good in Ruris streams.

[@Vell1981]

The Focus Strike actually uses a Wyrmstake even if it is empty and reloads another one after it.

[@WaSheLey911]

i guess i'll main the gunlance next year. 😎😎

[@Xerxesjr]

I noticed you didn't mention you can do the charged shelling from rising slash. It will definitely have its uses with long shelling GLs.

[@Bao598]

I miss the aerial counter in the gunlance, but being honest its in the best state in years, so i cant be more happy about it because i love it so hard...

[@metallmariofan]

Hell yeah, Gunlance for the win! The only Question That remains now is if the beta gives false hope. I can't wait for the finale Release to see if Our Shelling damage with Potential Attack scaling and ( hopefully) Artillery Skill for late game will scale for good numbers or if they gimp the Shelling damage like in Rise so they can justify the scaling. ( In rise it was the reduced base damage compared to World apparently so Ground Splitter buff is not too Strong )

[@leSmokySmoke]

Ah finally a factual correct thumbnail!

[@mynameis_________5875]

I’m going to be maining gunlance and great sword to fully take advantage of the offset and power clash moves also they were just my favorite in the beta

[@ComfortZoneComic]

just, yes. also Geralt says hi ?!

[@ShukakuTheCrazy1]

I was really thinking switch axe for my main, but I might do gunlance like I did in world. I need to actually try it first. I wasn't able to get to the demo

[@rightful4973]

while I'm not crazy about drake auger move for breaking wounds, wyverns fire can break them in an instant, I've found it to be much more reliable. drake auger is just so drawn out and clunky to use or the monster moves and awkwardly cuts the attack on the wound short

[@Pokemon15169]

yeah gunlance really took in the spotlight for charge blade and hunting horn for me. Then bow beats other long range weapons

[@johnathanrhoades7751]

Moga village. I need to play 3U more… But yes. Gunlance is wonderful here!

[@danymosquera7376]

As a Gunlance main all i can say is... YES!!!

[@leSmokySmoke]

They already said shells sclae now. So yes, it will be a good 6 years to be a gunlance main

[@LordStrom1]

Welcome to the ranks of fun lance

[@speedwagon9269]

as someone who never liked the gunlance i can safely say that it's my main now

[@thereddeads]

2 sets of shells and stakes is disgusting when compared to World. Even in World the dmg isn't bad with one set with non-gimped MV unlike Rise Gunlance MV

[@jockpackage1770]

They did awesome stuff for the GL. It feels great in Wilds, overall but this take on it is not without a couple shortsighted or head scratching flaws. For starters, making shells scale with attack is a really bad idea. This is because it kind of ruins the uniqueness of them and just makes them like inferior CB impact phials, without KO. They also added a ton of guard points on GL, diluting its identity even more into this knockoff CB status but that's merely a symptom of the Generations disease WIlds is infected with, where they ran out of ideas so they kind of just copied adepts style to fill in the gaps. The head scratching decision was making charged shelling basically a clone of full burst. It uses all the shells in the same way, or fewer than that if you don't hold it long enough, and the weapon notes in the beta didn't even say that long shelling is meant to specialize in that anymore. It doesn't mention anything about long shelling having any sort of value. Normally, as of late, normal shelling specializes in full burst by having the most shells for that and having a higher multiplier for it, wide shelling is better for basic shell shots, and long shelling is better at charged shells. Some games mess around with what type, between long and wide, is better at wyrmstake and wyvern fire but the rest is pretty set in stone. It's really odd tom rework one of those 3 GL has never been allowed to do good damage, outside of like demos like I think it was Sunbreak, the team has always hated the very concept of GL damage. This is because of how shells can decide not to care where you hit because of how they ignore hit zone values. The only time it really did a lot of damage with shelling was in Iceborne when they overdid it because slap lance was too powerful and long/charged shelling was way too weak. One of the few things Rise did that was healthy to keep in the series, that they will likely refuse to keep, is how they made a new skill that buffs damage and actually let that skill buff shelling damage with a percentage buff. That was the sneak attack skill. Because of how they've treated shelling in the past, players assumed this was a mistake but it wasn't. No one sane ever said that Rise didn't do anything right. Yes, they messed up quite a bit but they also did some cool stuff for some weapons.

[@metallmariofan]

Yep. Gunlance Being good Triggers paranoia of It Being Taken away be It With Guardpoint Changes or Shelling nerfs. I Like It as Is Right now only complaint for me Is No Guard Point With charged shells and Wyvern fire where the Animation uses a Shield.

[@jockpackage1770]

@@metallmariofan Yeah, it did look like one of those 2 animations had guarding at least.

[@metallmariofan]

@@jockpackage1770 Fast reload and normal reload have Guardpoints. Charged shells and the Wyvern fire( normal one feels Like 4 Seconds of eternity) didn't Guard in the Beta. A bummer after Wyvern fire Had Guard in rise. Maybe It Will Change Who knows but i don't Get my hopes up

[@rtheace]

Oh yeah...drill em. Drill em all! Then kaboosh...i mean kaboom.

[@duobizarrobizarro]

I strongly disagree, you can do 360s TCS with the GS now. Like you *HAVE* to try to miss the monster. (Well unless they just run away, idk why they kept running every 3 minutes in the Beta)

[@TheMysteryblend]

I found it was easiest doing the full combo just by spamming triangle + circle

[@kyubipl]

There is a way to play now beta offline, today i tested it and i can play.

[@JQuaade1]

If i had a nickel every time someone claimed Gunlance would be the new top tier based off the demo, i'd have like... uuuh... 6 nickels i think

[@moonrabbit2334]

Yup I am maining GL and LS if they don't buff Saed CB

[@LiveLNXgaming]

love the gun lance. hate the frame generation.

[@kyubipl]

GL is the best, have you seen my Gunlance gameplay from Wilds?

[@BlackBeltGamers88]

How did the gunlance get so many awesome upgrades and the regular Lance get shafted so hard? Pun intended... All of its counters are gone, instablocks and the biggest attacks and only "counter" more a super armor attack are all locked behind the 3 hit combo with no shortcuts. I'm thoroughly disappointed with the state of reg Lance the more I look at all the other weapons.

[@rocketdurham4926]

Let me remind you….bonk

[@UnoDS]

KABOOM
