It’s worth noting you can move at a crawl speed while guarding and and while doing so you will regain stamina slowly, while you will not regain stamina while guarding standing still. So it’s almost always worth crawling around slowly to make sure you keep your stamina from dropping too low, and keep yourself facing any incoming threats.

Small correction - unlike in past games, you can do the larger back hop more than once in the 3-hop sequence, just not twice in a row. So you can do large back hop->small hop->large back hop. With Evade Extender this gives INSANE distance. Similar to wide sweep in the 3-poke combo, where you can do sweep->poke->sweep (just not 2 sweeps in a row).

As someone for whom Lance is a 3rd or 4th choice weapon you've convinced me to put a LOT more time into Lance. There's stuff in here I had no idea existed!

I feel like I'm watching the tutorial from GU but it's Rise, Gaijin you have always been my go to youtuber for guide mainly due to your voice and the feel of the music. Always love it.

This is a great introductory lance tutorial! Love how you don't shame styles of play that new players are likely to use. One small note that I don't see others pointing out is that new to Rise you *can* actually do two long backsteps now as long as they are the first and third hops in your chain.

@CiromBreeze

3 жыл бұрын

You could do long first and third hops in World too! It's not just a Rise thing.

A few things I want to add as a lance veteran: 1. After the guard dash, if you press A to use the leaping thrust, this counts as move 1 in the thrust combo. This adds an alternate loop for elemental builds. 2. The jump during the dash can be used to vault over certain monsters when they're downed. This is notable because in solo play, a downed monster usually falls with it's feet towards the player. With practice, you can vault over the monster and to a reverse attack to break the back if that's something you need for a part. I know for sure this can be done on Mizutsune, because I discovered it while farming it's fins last night. 3. Be very careful using Guard Up against certain monsters, the final boss of the hub is a notable one. Many of these normally unblockable attacks (such as the beams fired by the final boss of the hub) actually hit many times in rapid succession, but when you don't block, you get sent flying and are thus only hit once due to invulnerability when airborne. HOWEVER, with Guard Up, this is removed, and the attack can hit several times in a second, erase you stamina, and result in more damage than eating the attack normally. 4. When guarding and standing still, your stamina will lot recover. However, if you move around while guarding (which is something the lance can do but many shield weapons can't) your stamina will recover. It's slower than during idle, but it can make a difference when blocking a multitude of attacks. Thanks Badger's Den for reminding me about this one.

the sweep attack getting a charge is pretty satisfying

Such a nostalgic feeling, i love how you deliver the info, its so easy lerning.

Thanks for this. I appreciate the effort you have gone through to make this video so much. There are many different tutorials online, but yours is simple and to the point. I feel more equipped to try out the Lance now. I am kinda excited now.

Clear, concise explanations of the basic moves, their links and the optimal playstles. Obviously it's not the be all and end all of Lance, but once I've got my head around your guide, I generally know where my preferred style is going to line with that weapon and how I want to utilise it, but your guides have made the process all fun and no gruel!

Thank you very much for another great video! I am going to use your tutorials to master all weapons. That way I think I am getting the most out of the game, keeping tinkering new loadouts and mastering any situation.

Great guide. As a long-time Lance user, I just wanted to add that the Guard Dash into Shield Attack or Leaping Thrust is an awesome small gap closer. I use it as my core move set so much.

You can't do two long back hops consecutively, but you CAN do two long back hops in one three hop combo (long-short-long) which is an awesome buff to the Lance mobility that I don't see any single person on earth talks about.

Been looking forward for this for a while. Twin Vine was a move I never quite understood and was the only thing that kinda stumped me with Rise Lance. May actually use that move a bit more often now.

i have been waiting for this....but mostly the next video on lance

Im so glad gaijin is churning out videos. I miss you man been watching for years. On the lance stuff. I feel like people are missing the other part of power guard, which is that you can do it on a block reaction to shorten the recovery and respond with a leaping poke.

Time to give Lance a try! Thank you for your work :)

I love how you call it at its core a comfy weapon, i freaking love it.

I see, your a Hunter of culture as well.

And so the tutorials begin!

Ngl seeing the intro made me smile biiiig

shield dash imo is the bread and butter connection in between combos, since it guards you during the animation and you can transition seamlessly into another attack, if you’re still in danger you’ll still be in the guard stance after the motion is over, or you can chain it with another step. Another important fact about the shield dash is that it procs offensive guard pretty easily, reposition as much as possible with shield dash can give you good coverage of the skill since you’ll constantly proc offensive guard.

Been waiting for gaijin to start doing weapon tutorials for MH Rise. Thank you!

Thank you Gaijin, love this

It's worth mentioning that if you use the radial menu for items you can sharpen without putting away your weapon first. Very helpful for the big weapons

Extra tip: You can move while guarding. It’s very slow, but it also recovers stamina while guarding, so you don’t have to worry as much about stamina. Of course, this is only ever useful when guarding for an extended period of time, which should probably be done as little as possible.

Been awhile since seeing that opening!!!

Trying to change weapons from chargeblade to hammer, even tho hammer seems easy i just cant get it. Hyped for the tutorial

Hey another Lance main here to help you, You forgot to mention that after blocking a strong hit, if you get into that idle animation where you are been pushed, you can convert it into power guard, which means you press B after been pushed (no knocked back, just pushed) and you can go from there to 3 options, one of them is the charge (X+A), so you are always on the monster tail even if you couldnt block it fully . also, I dont suggest using guard trust for waking up a monster, id suggest the swipe move, even if you get propulsed by the explosion its so easy to get back right in the action with the wirebug recover, I'd say the 250 dmg youll get from a swipe charge on a sleeping monster is more worth than a 60 hit from a guard trust. Great Tutorial as always, this game is so complexe it's hard to know everything right away. :D

As you say, Guard Dash is so bloody handy, and I've noticed it almost always is a 360 guard as well. So often have I overshot somehow and guard dashed backwards into my attacking target to come out totally unscathed. And since the guard is active from frame 1 it's an insane clutch defensive move. Everybody look forward to the advanced tutorial where it's discussed, I bet it's gonna be great info! ^^

music starts playing Herny: R is to block. R-circle is for counters, But you'll need different levels of Guard for different monsters.

Hey Gaijin, thanks for the guide. I just created a set and killed my first monster with the lance. Mhr is the first mh game in which i am trying out diffrent weapons and this one feels really good. I am using the sliding lance silkbind skill which is just so much fun. I wonder why you did not talk about it in this video. I really like your weapon tutorials since my start with 4u. Eventhough your weapon guides are great, i personally feel like its missing a section at the end, where you show off a range of moves in an actual fight. Not in Full lenght but edited in a cool way to hype beginners even more to make them trying this weapon out. Kinda like a blockbuster sequenz. Wouldnt that be cool? Greetings

My 2 cents as a lance main.. Guard thrust helps you regain a small amount of stamina and gains monsters attention (Similar to bull fighting). Also ending thrust for dash attack could be executed in reverse direction, leading into a "backward swipe". Great tutorial and refresher video nonetheless.

Great video, very well designed for new comers. Also, the barroth greaves are better in terms of skills overall

The Poke village theme gives all the good feels.

Been playing MH for years and still learning stuff, like i didn't know power guard was a 360 guard, and i learned about big-hop from the comments below (thanks hunters!), and didn't know you could aim your dash-jump poke midair

As a lance user I am sad that I missed the charged wide sweep. Thanks for all the advice.
