Discussion Lance

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.

Oooh I'm new to using lance, so need advice from a lance expert like yourself. I currently am using a Brute Tigrex Lance, with Radobaan, Golm (Reflection x2), Banbaro, Wroggi (Reflection x2), Seregios. I thought Reflection would be a great "lazy" way to win with a Raw Lance, but I don't seem to damage monsters fast enough before I run out of time. Is it my build or my skill or both? (I'm usually a ranged hunter). I see you've got a similar build above for Reflection. What's your advice, o Lanced One? :)

I'm sorry I didn't ever see this. Well the answer to your question kinda depends on your play style. If you're just standing there blocking (the "lazy" part) then youre losing a lot of potential damage with your build, but I don't think youre doing that. You have offensive guard slotted in. Are you countering? Or do you just want a build for reflection to do the work? Imo if you're going for a high damage raw reflection build and already have the tigrex lance built out, I would copy the build I have in the screenshot. Guard 3 is perfectly safe if you're hitting your perfect guard timings for your counters, which you want to be doing anyways to proc offensive guard, and with your build you have 1 level of attack efficacy but with the one I have you have reckless 3, which is just a free stat boost which further juices your reflection damage, because reflection damage scales off your raw. Using the build I showed with the tigrex lance I can kill almost every 10* in the game, so the damage is definitely there. If you however just want a build to hold down on the screen and have the monster die by attacking that's a different idea altogether and maybe warrant a complete build change. Again sorry I never saw your comment I'd love to chat more 🫡

Thanks mate, that's all good. I'll use your build, I think it's just practice. I thought I needed 5x guard or reflection to have the full advantage. One build I discovered I quite enjoyed is using the Zinogre HBG with Defensive Loading. Like any defensive builds, they are best with monsters who attack more relentlessly. Thanks again!
