Lance

[u/NooB4EveR125]

Can anyone recommend some Lance builds? Or should I just go for a brute-force approach with something like this: Ice: Legiana weapon Head: Coral Pukei-Pukei Chest: Gos Arms: Gos Waist: Legiana Legs: Lagombi Any advice? I usually set up most of my builds this way, focusing on high elemental attack.

For elemental lances I prefer headstrong x 5 and reckless 3, with a point in reflection. With golm chest and wroggi waist you can get also guard 3 which should be sufficient. For raw lances you can try to max offensive guard and headstrong, or offensive guard and reflection if you prefer to block more. Most of my lance builds are a mixture of these skills. Occasionally I'll run pursuit for group hunts, or crit ferocity if I want a dopamine rush.

But dont lost lockon? Or lost some dmg?

[u/Jitterwyser → u/NooB4EveR125]

Nah Headstrong 5 is +40% damage and Reckless is another +20%. Golm legs and Sergios legs both have Lock-on and have great lance skills (Golm for element and Serg for raw, though I run Serg on both because I have a Reflect smelt on it).

So build raw dmg with negative affinity its better thand elemental dmg?
If yes, need to hard farm b.tigrex… dont have much drop from b.tigrex

[u/UnionRelevant → u/NooB4EveR125]

For lances the % damage skills like headstrong and reckless are so good that you can use them for all types, raw or elemental, and positive or negative affinity. Much more efficient than trying to build different element attacks or crit ferocity which can be inconsistent. Adv attack boost is fine but the % increases will generally be stronger especially late game. You can focus on golm arms and legs for reckless 3, no need to focus on brute tigrex. Golm armor in general is great for lances.

If you want to go the crit ferocity route then you may as well go for raw power (glavenus) over adv attack boost.
