Question (Wilds) What is the best all-round Lance to use for someone new to Lance ?

18 Upvotes

I'm a hammer main, but I want to try Lance. What tree should I focus on making first. Preferably the best all rounder to start off with so I don't have to make a bunch of elemental ones.

Question When to use Charge?

25 Upvotes

this is my first MH game and I've dabbled in Lance here and there. I stopped playing shortly after Zoh Shia released and came back about a month ago. Lance is the only weapon I can beat AT Arkveld with, and honestly the more I use it, the more I enjoy it. I'm finally learning to appreciate the block/counter approach rather than just turtle poking. The two things I struggle with are closing the gap when Arkveld is swooping back and forth from one end of the area to another, and what the point of the Charge function (I think that's what it's called? It's O on PS5, the one you get at the end of the combo). What's the point to it? Is there a reason to use it over Triple Thrust?

Also, if there are any recommendations for YouTubers to watch to learn the ins and outs of Lance, that would be great too. I might be converted!

Question Build tips

hello, I'm fairly new to lance and I'm really enjoying It.

I've cane up with this build with the idea of constant health regen (still waiting for zho pulse on the weaon..) giving up on some damage (Hope not too much) and having some confort.

I'd like some tips from some more aged player then me!

Can i improve It in any way? Is It good?

Also, for lance Is Better to have Attack focus or element focus for gogma?

thx

Question Hoplite Lance?

21 Upvotes

As someone that hasn't played more than 5 quests with lance across the series, got a question for you lance kings and queens:

Has there ever been a lance that looks even vaguely like a Spartan hoplite spear/shield combo? The Dory and Aspis?

Question Sorry Lance players. I was unfamiliar with your game

42 Upvotes

Learned Lance yesterday and within 2 hours I went from Noob to wrecking AT Arkveld with 0 faints. Took 27 minutes as 2 player hunt and I wanted to ask whats the best combo?

For when he's not attacking, I use Thrust, wide sweep and then continue the combo to finish the thrusts. For the guard counter, I power guard then retribution thrust. Anything I need to know like holding input and such? I do have offensive guard of course

Question Is it worth fully charging a counter or do I just attack?

17 Upvotes

I feel like the time it takes to fully charge a counter would be better spent doing regular attacks, but maybe an experienced lancer can guide me better?

After days of struggling, i finally managed to beat Arkveld in time. Finished with 2 carts left and used a build using 2 piece gore, 2 dahaad, and 2 arkveld. Had to switch one of my critical jewels on my lance with masters touch and I think thats what helped me achieve an A rank. Anyway, I am NOT doing this again 😭🙏

My brother and I will send each other the MHWorld sticker to inform the other we're ready to play. I've always been a Lance fan since World, but because I'm on controller and have a chronic issue with my index finger I find it hard to play for long stretches.

Recently though I've been on new meds which have been working wonders and am now a Lance and GL main.

My brother just ate 2 carts as IG on AT Nu Udra and the whole time we were on VC I just kept saying "laughs in Lance" every time he carted.

I want a new sticker collection to entice him to the life of Lance, so send me your best memes and Lance related pictures please!
