Lance main here, really hyped for the new moves and improved movement they're giving it this time around. So many more opportunities to weave openings together. I've played every weapon in my time and the gameplay loop of the lance is the most fun to me (and the like six other lance players), constantly having to switch between getting in a monster's grill and digging my heels in is just plain exhilarating. I'll probably also bring hunting horn cuz I'm a musician and the idea of using music to buff your team and shred monsters is so cool. Also don't know if you've read this or anybody's told you yet, but the demo thing they're doing is an open beta, so everybody is guaranteed to get in :)
2:00 Ah, yes, let me go sharpen my hammer real quick. Haven't played hammer that much, but it makes sense that it would care less about bouncing and sharpness compared to other weapons. As a lance main, it's nice to hear some acknowledgement that the weapon isn't completely braindead to use optimally. Sure, you have a big shield that can block most attacks without too much thought or skill, but if you're just turtled up the whole hunt the monster is just going to run off and chew on someone else. You have to really be looking for every opportunity to get your attacks in, and taking damage is much more penalizing when you are slow, have a short dodge animation, and need 5-10 business days to put away your weapon to heal. Over the years, Sunbreak expansion was probably my favorite buff for lances, Shield Tackle is just so useful for getting extra hits in safely (I can actually stun during a hunt without completely ruining my DPS!), and Skyward Thrust is so much more satisfying as a burst option than lance has ever had before.
The Charge Blade was the toughest to use, probably wasn't the best choice for me to go with that one as a first time player. That's the one you were thinking of, Charge Blade, cool weapon though... Think I'll go with the Switch Axe if it's in Monster Hunter Wilds, was easier to use, and a hell of a lot of damage! Keep it up! Next video tomorrow, eh?

I hope you make it into beta🙏
Going for Charge Blade, Insect Glaive, and Bow.
Im stuck between the charge blade, hunting horn, bow, and greatsword. I can't choose😭
Well its a good thing you can carry 2 weapons into a fight now.
this has to be rage bait
