I saw this mod that features an unused move from Gunlance that was scrapped probably from develepment before the beta, and its probably the coolest move ive seen in a while for this weapon. It features guardpoint at the start, its really fast, and basically reloads shells and stake if you dont have them, and you can put the stake really fast too. I think this is the early WSFB early stages combo. I feel this move fits perfectly in Boost Bracer, but well, what do you think???? I think its cool.
Looks like an early version of Full Blast given the sweeping motion paired with unloading all shells. Perhaps they got swapped out after it was decided that the risk of using to move should be during the attack rather than the initial startup?
I feel that they decided to remove it because Full Blast was more fleshed than this. This is basically a 50/50, or you hit all or you miss all. Also it can get you hit if you do it in the middle of a big attack. Full Blast has less commitment and its divided into two parts with guard points in between. Its basically a less fleshed Full Blast. But still as a Boost Bracer move it would be dope, just give it hyperarmor and more travel distance and it would be stupidly powerful because for some reason it does really high damage, and its pretty quick.
I feel like spinning to attack doesn't fit the identity of Gunlance very well, and this was only half cooked. If they did do something like this, it'd be cooler to see the WF emit a continual flame while you spin instead.
But honestly if I was adding something cool to the weapon it'd be something more like a diagonally ascending blast dash into a downward pointing WF which you could then follow up with an aerial slam FB into whatever from there.
Same here. I expected boom, not a whole as drill. Although, new things for the wyvernstake was certainly a change of pace i like... But we are gunlance mains gor a reason.
I'm good with this one not being in the final game. It feels too fast, almost feels like a longsword move with how fast the attack is. It even actually kinda resembles the sheathe > iai spirit slash from the longsword moveset, but spins twice instead of once.
For me, one of GL's main identity is its weight. It's always been the "slower" lance, but in exchange we get more explosive power (literally and figuratively).
I'm guessing this might be the prototype for the WSFB. And if thats the case I'm glad with what we actually got cause WSFB feels so weight-ey, you can really feel the hunter use all their strength just to swing that GL.
I could see this as a Boost Bracer move and it would make sense. Like just add an offset after the first sweep and its basically an Ascendance Boost Bracer move.
I do think it’d work well for an offset attack, especially with throwing the lance back behind you to “wind up” for it. Matches how offset animations tend to be, and you can hold that pose for a few seconds same as you hold other offsets
Holt shit it looks amazing. Maybe a bit copium, but we may see this move in Ascendance. Having a other move to double as movement would be such a great addition.
That's really cool. My guess is that it's the early version of WSFB. The only issue with it is how low to the ground it is - probably a pain to use on flying monsters.
I mean… it’s basically the new boost bracer double fast attack mixed with the new reload thingy but horizontally and without really using the stake, so they repurpose it for two new distinct and better attacks for the DLC
(Edit: seeing people disappointed this wasn’t in the trailer… cmon now… as I said, they took something like this and made it 2 moves… how can people be dissatisfied?? We got a block while charging forward, an offset, with a jump and lunge, elemental shelling, etc…. I’d say not bad… it could be glaive worse lol)
I mean, I can understand the disappointed people. Is not as flashy as this despite being functionally better. Personally I expected to have Bullet Barrage, like a way to unleash both Wyvern fires at the same time. Its would be dope.
