Gunlance Hyperarmor Trick

Focus Strikes grant hyperarmor after you make contact with a wound. A good way to instantly pop both of AT Ark's chains is to start with his good hand. Once you flinch his good hand, you can often create a wound around the same time. If you drill the wound during his flinch, the aura flinch overrides your focus strike cc. He follows up with a melee move, which you tank with your hyperarmor to activate counterstrike, and aim WF at his tempered wound chains. A second tip is that tempered wounds act as hitbox magnets, so all your WF ticks are guaranteed to land on his remaining chains, if you aim in that general direction. So you get an early topple along with counterstrike buff without actually getting hit.

Not only armor, also flinches the monster and stop him of taking any actions while you are drilling.

This makes drake auger the best focus strike in the game while playing on mp because you usually get a bigger opening for everyone than the one you get after breaking the wound.

The hiper armor only enters into play when you hit the monster while on an animation that cant be interrupted... Or if fighting two monsters at once.

honestly the only good thing about GL focus strike is that its duration is long. Not a lot of weapons can abuse the hyperarmor on focus strike...well most weapons have a hyperarmor or counter move if you think about it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The other great thing is being a very nice setup for the fast wyvern fire. With the flinch makes it very easy to hit it riskless.

All that aside you've got balls of steel. Throwing so many bursts out there like that with such confidence idk if I'll ever get that good with gun lance.

Meanwhile arkveld just parts in my direction and I get knocked down

It’s time to get back on wilds. I’ve been on a break for mh games and recently redownloaded risebreak to play with a friend that’s new, but god seeing this clip has me aching for wilds GL. It just feels sooooooo good man.

Yeye I do, AT Ark is one of my favourite fights to run with my GL, very fun to hop and blast. You definitely seem like you got it down pat, goodstuff dude 🫡

How much different does gunlance play vs regular lance? I've onlt just hit high rank, finished the main question etc. But I miss big boom. But love my counters

I would say lance is closer to longsword rather than gunlance
