It's literally the same gameplay in the beginning "how did we turn from this" blocking and poking "to this" blocking and poking but with spirit bug"

If they let you ride a palamute while using lance, instant +40% player usage. Just sayin, lemme be a KNIGHT

As a Lance main since 3/Tri i can say that it looks boring on the surface but as you power through moves you normally have to evade and proceed to bully the monster with perfect counters and satisfying precision then you start to love it a bit more each time you use it 🙂

As i do admit countering is the best feeling ever and never gets old, unfortunately since all weapons have a counter does take away the joy. But lance is probably the most satisfying outside of maybe gs and cb

I discovered the Monster Hunter series with World. I looked the weapons and I saw this lance, I have always plays tank or character focused on absolute defense and survival in all my games because my shield is my religion... So i chose to play lance and since I never even felt like trying something else. i will play lance on everything monster hunter in future, present or pass because i'm a lance's guy in my soul!

How did we go from this: Guy using lance normally and accurately To this: swinging lance in the air

Actually historically evade lance was even earlier in generation 2 and the narga evade plus set. Nargacuga gear would allow both LL and GL to backhop through literally anything, and was a strong moveset worth mastering. You'd see LL/GL mains not even sheathing their weapon and instead turning around to backhop INTO the monster.

The weapon that I Tried as a Joke one day with a friend. Now all my builds are Defense-offensive guard based with the lance.

Lance mains in early generations deserve respect

Not necessarily. In FU it was known for its shieldpoke (it wasn't good even back then, but casual players used it because it was safe 99% of the time and would very slowly and reliably kill monsters if you weren't good at the game). Nowadays because comboing is always an option the shieldpoke is practically unused and most people seem to forget it exists. And in MH1 it was known as the easiest weapon to use to headlock the largest number of monsters (headlocking is where you stagger a monster by hitting its weakpoint, generally its head, and then as soon as it recovers you hit the damage threshold to stagger it again, effectively trapping it in place until your sharpness goes down or it does; notably in World this once again became extremely easy to do with Lance on Kushala).

I started playing lance at the end of base rise and it's actually really fun. I wont main it but it'll stay in my top 5 weapons

I started maining Lance bc you basically just point at the monster and say "I wanna break that part now" and you just poke that part.

I started 3U with LS, because was the only weapon I gave the choice (noob mentality I guess), and I was terrible, I couldn't clear a quest without help. I didn't understand many of the game mechanics. I got better thanks to my friend, but it took me a lot of concentration to kill my first barroth alone. As soon as I got to high rank I learned hammer, and every game after that I've always learned and used other weapons, but many people stick to the same ones everytime. For rise my main was gunlance, and for sun break the lance. I have never fallen in love with a weapon until I played the lance.

People don't use Lance because they also think it's a low dps weapon. Lance can have the highest dps of any weapon because the shield can give you virtually no downtime.

In Gen 1 on PS2 the lance was wildly popular, *mostly* because of plate farming and the fact that if you timed it just right you could stunlock Rathalos with it while playing online.

In MH1 and 2 the lance was king. Its hard to use but if you got one that did enough damage you could indefinitely head lock "filcch " till they were dead. Long as they could be flinched. All you have to do was upward thrust 3 times back step wait like 1/2 sec and repeat and mob couldn't even do anything. You just have the other players focus on cutting off parts and if tail was cut off it would break the chain but you just put them back into it.

Yeah, I like Lance Weapon, but please make a video about Gunlance too...🙂😏

After being a longtime Charge Blade main, I have recently picked up the Lance in MHW. It's amazing and I'm absolutely falling in love with the weapon.

Same! Charge blade is my main go to weapon when I'm drunk or struggling in a fight. I avoided lance at first because it was "unpopular and easy," but I feel the people saying that haven't really given the time to figure it out. It's so fast and fun, and as simple as the shield advance is, is the coolest looking move in the game for me

I skipped generations and I never used lance until rise, oh boi I didn't know they take so many moves from GU. That was pretty cool!

I played Lance after DB and i loved them. What i most like is the easy handling. No complicated Combos and I will main it in Wilds again. i just jope not to many moves comes with the new lance and no wirebug or clutch claw.

A few notes: In mh1 specific more than rest old gen lance was really strong because of a bug calculating the formula wrong similar to sns in freedom 1 Lance in tri was very good. Too tier in fact. So good they felt the need to nerf it immediately afterwards In mhw iceborn despite the stronger emphasis on element they tried to go with in the expansion for whatever bizarre reason they nerfed the element% of damage lance did per hit from base world. No idea why it seemed as random and arbitrary as nerfing dragon piercer which was already niche at that point compared to element bow.

Proud lancer since the very first game. Sometimes I cheat on it with its sister the gunlance but don't tell it.

The fact you didn't show the black dragon Lance headlocking and going toe to toe with Fatalis, a monster no one online at the time could even fight without being 1 shot with melee weapons in the first game is a massive disservice. The weapon was so busted that they needed all the other game iterations to smear its name! On a more serious note, its just a precise, defensive weapon in a game people already devised ways of being one or both of those but better. HBG shield just a walking, comfy tank that can freely aim and do BIG dmg. Sticky is an opening machine and satisfying just popping things in the face. Gunlance having the meaty shield with all the complexities of shelling, the comfort of not having to bring traditional blademaster skills and the flashiness lacking in Lance. Lance is prob like middle of the pack for me. Bottom is prob hammer for similar main reasons I mentioned. SNS just because FC can be annoying to fight certain monsters at times where you need a really sweaty weapon to get the job done (dual blades vs alatreon comes to mind. Thats in the context of multiplayer with new people that brought like a safi shatter weapon and can't even be helped to just live long enough for the explosion in the first place)

I'm glad they learned through GU that some flash and coolness is important for the lance. Sunbreak Lance is far from incredible, but it is so much more well thought through than ever before. *Rubs my core drill*

Great video. Sadly, I too found lance weapons boring in the early generations. Now it's my weapon of choice. Like you in the first generations I used Great Sword and Long Sword, the most used weapons, because they gave the feeling of high damage. Well they do high damage. If I could go back I would play lance, i just didn't understand how lance weapon worked. I considered the poke attack really weak but now seeing the damage numbers displayed in MH: World I understand that it was actually really good. Also now i like the counter attack and the ability to jump while front charging to do jump damage really make it more accessible.

I've only ever used heavy bowgun after watching this video im gonna give lance a try

The lance was my last used weapon in MHW (my first game), nos it's my most confort and reliable weapon of the blademaster. In rise the weapon spot on the top 3 ones, aside Charge Blade and Hunting Horn. Great vídeo dood, there's q lot lot of heart into it!!
