@@JohnDog-bb4nrpress r2 then circle, the guard comes out a lot faster than you would expect sometimes, even after a couple hundred hunts with lance the sheer speed the guard comes out with still saves and shocks me
I have said for over a decade that if you play Lance like a turtle, it will feel like fighting as a turtle. However if you play Lance like the boss music is for you, there are very few weapons that give you the same level of “holy shit I just did that”.
The ultimate "Hello monster. I plan to kill you without leaving my circle" weapon lol. Though my favorite thing it the charging attack, it's so fun to travel with it lol.
Man, Iceborne Lance has like only half of the moveset variety compared to Sunbreak Lance. But the Offensive Guard sound effect + Clutch Claw counter are just so damn sexy. And of course every Lancer's dream: blocking Fatalis' cone of fire to protect your teammate if they got caught out of position lol
I mean yeah?? Lance didnt have much variety in its moveset bc its kit is so simple so ofc if u have systems like switch skills and silkbinds its pretty easy to double that
It's not even the offensive moveset man, the defensive moveset of Lance in Sunbreak is much better than in Iceborne... Which IS Lance's strength imo. Instant Guard, Shield Charge, Shield Bash, and Sheathing Retreat. These moves complete Lance's kit. Like, I have 1500 hunts on Lance in Iceborne and I'd still love to have Sunbreak Lance as the golden standard for Lance in future games. Or at least give me the instant guard + cross slash counter.
Rise was overkill. Sure I guess some people liked using all those options, but to be frank, most of the extraneous stuff was useless, harmful or redundant. It's really just style over substance. Part of what made MH great was that it functions like Chess. Everything you can do at the end of the game is what you could do from the beginning, and styles emerged from all the options present within the base movesets. Case in point, in the older titles, there were Lancers and Guncers who pretty much didn't use their shields unless absolutely necessary, instead opting to use I-frames. This was more of a Gunlance style, but a few Lancers did it too
@@TanegiHoneydew meh. Got over 12000 hours in the series altogether... I'd go with Gen Lance. Similar, but I like NOT being able to do absolutely everything. That makes it boring.
That Ruiner Nergi bit at the beginning is insane! But really tho, I used to not think much about Lance thinking its just block and poke and also slow AF but it recently became my crutch weapon. Something I use when I'm not confident with the monster or I just want an easy win. lmao
imo, lance flows the best here, in the 5th fleet world + iceborne. the dodge shield guard alone does it for me, and with the punchy super guard just felt good. like what the lance move set shouldve always been 🎉 here's hoping they dont degrade lance and gunlance, and only make it better
@@Znetsixe ah. I still have to give Rise a go. Still on MHGU straight from MHWorld, and the ‘Style’ mechanics separated the moves into sets that I dont like the combination of. If they could let us pick and choose the move-sets to go out with, that wouldve been cool
My all time favorite Lance moment Ive seen was from my friend; we were hunting Pinkian in the coral region of the Guiding Lands, and she fled from one area to the adjacent one. My friend immediately started charging down the slope, and as Pinkian started touching down, he shouted "THIS IS THE GREATEST PLAAAAAAAN" and leapt off a ledge, shoved the lance directly through the side of her head, and got the mount XD once in a lifetime moments
Steadfast. Unbreakable. Relentless. We do not hide behind our shields. We do not run away where others must. We are Lancers. We are Hunters. *Break* them upon your shield. *Spear* them, just as our ancestors did. *For tonight, we win glory.*
Definitely one of my favourite rhythm game of all time. For real tho I freaking love WorldBorne's counter heavy Lance playstyle. Only if they tune up the counter motion value a bit then it'd be perfect.
i have like 1500 hour on this game, played all the weapons expect that one, because i was thinking it's similar to the gunlance without any explosion on it (played a lot of gl back in the day so im tired a lil bit) and a friend send me this video and it blow my mind like "wtf we can jump with it, damn we can guard counter etc ..." lol for me it was just shield block and horizontale hit, btw very very nice video man
I have like 2.5k hours in this game and main a lot of weapons including Lance, but I never thought even once about doing backwards block, that's just awesome..
Very convenient that I picked up Lance at the same time this vid popped up. watching it now, I can see I still have a long way to go to master it, but I got most of it right
Great advertisement for the lance. Everyone rates it average at best (if not low) on their weapon tier lists. I was considering it before seeing those ratings. Maybe I should re-consider.
If you told me when I started Monster Hunter World that I would play the Lance I don’t think I would’ve believed you. But here we are, and it’s probably my most used weapon between all the Monster Hunters I’ve tried since then. The consistent damage, insane guards, ability to always stay on the monster, the counters, the charges, the mounts… this weapon is such a sleeper you wouldn’t think it could all these things, but it can. I can’t wait to see what insane thing we Lance mains get next…
This game looks so cool. Got baited into buying it by a friend ages ago when it came out. Never played with them and after a while just got tired of solo-ing every mission. But, even so. This game is great to watch.
Respect bro , i couldn't get my hands on such amazing weapons, i mastered Switch Ax and Loong sword i played the Game 1500 hours, didn't expect to. I became fan of the game surprisingly 😁
the spear of man, unmovable defense, no person shall survive the lances wrath for you will be without options attacking the titan of the living wall. Lancer excerpt 20XX : ;)
Dear Lance God. Forgive me for ditching the lance in World/Iceborne for the cheesy bowguns. With this show of power by your Apostles, I am going to main the lance once more in MH Wilds. In the name of gog I swear.
I honestly love the aesthetic of the lance and what it represents, an immovable force that know no direction but forward. That being said my monkey brain wants something a bit more flashy and diverse.
once in a while the youtube algorithm is working... came out of nowhere, and now im already 14hrs deep into world, learning the lance gameplay and preordered MH:Wilds also left an abo and watching all your movies now, could you use some "two steps from hell" music for the next ones, if its possible
You just gotta get used to all your movement options, like direction hops while guarding into leaping stabs or shield bashes, and getting comfortable with the charge. The Teostra part displays this well, with the backwards guard hops into forward leaping thrusts
This video is the biggest compliment anyone could give my lance gameplay because it looks almost identical to yours. One question though, how do you deal with fatalis fireball spam?
I yearn for this level of mastery. Rise was where I first really started to use lance, and I've been hooked. This video encapsulates why I play lance - *you* dictate the pace. Your shield is the greatest wall you can have, and it makes *you* an unstoppable force. It's simple, not as initially flashy or as damaging as other weapons can be. But it is consistent, it is reliable, and if you use it well, it will keep you alive and the monster dead.
I would say you change my mind about Lance 🫡 is just that I can’t with the poking stick mechanic 🤣 I believe it needs some more flavor on that side, but 🔥 I never seen all the actual defensive skill on action specially not like this 🤯, the hint must really be fun having always face to face. A master of Lance 👏
2:27 is actually insane dude
Yeah that’s super sick
But, it was cool
Legit! That was a thing of beauty!
How he do that?
and here 0:58 insane too
That shara ishvalda backwards block...
Chef's kiss 🤌🏿
“When you witnessed the Hero, to what glorious skill did you see in her”
“She poked. Her guarding was something to behold, and she poked liked the best of them”
Dont forget the backtiptoes
"Her shield was as the very walls that guarded heaven itself, and her lance was as fear striking into the hearts of her foes."
"When she returns, it is said that her shield can defend man from his own follies, and her lance can reach into even the most corrupted heart."
The master of pegs
I take back all my lance slander. Lance vs dragon is just iconic
That's why most dragon-slaying weapons in JRPGs are lances/spears.
@@bukojoetheslapsoils8273 The Main Reason is due it being long and it being Pierce (with the tip being small) allowing it to get under the small scales.
Expectations: This video.
Reality: Monster doesn't flinch and you get rolled on the floor when trying to trade blows.
That or, you get tired of trying to flinch, and you just mount as a last resort
lance bro don't trade blows. No need for that when more than half of our movesets can be chained into a block/counter
@@RedHornSSS Not when you're charging towards the monster like in the video tho, there's no chaining into block counter from that lol.
@@JohnDog-bb4nr oh yeah no one rly plays like that IG
@@JohnDog-bb4nrpress r2 then circle, the guard comes out a lot faster than you would expect sometimes, even after a couple hundred hunts with lance the sheer speed the guard comes out with still saves and shocks me
always move forward without fear
dash-blocking (since i’m a noob at lance lol) through attacks is peak 😩
Unless forced to move backwards. In which case turn around first
No no, there is definitely fear, just not from us 😎
This was great. I cannot wait to see what the Lance can do in Wilds!
Hi, I'm from the future. It's looking M E A T Y
Hi I'm further from the future unfortunately it sucks
@fleeplayTV I, too, have experienced this future you speak of and I'm not amused. 😒
Counter Clutch claw was such a satisfying move to land in Iceborne, I hope they implement something similar in Wilds.
I never thought i would see the day
Mika, it's great to see you again, I was worried! Marvelous display as ever, and the superman flight at 0:59 was absolutely awesome :D Congrats!
The pokey stick remains the supreme tank/poking weapon
Yeah the sea remains wet too
The lance is and has been my favourite weapon for a reason. Thanks for this showcase, it doesn't always happen but those dunks are awesome.
Beautiful! You made us Lances stand out with this one! Well done! ❤
become the Avil that the monster breaks themselfs upon! BE IMMOVABLE!
Beautiful gameplay! I've always loved Lance ever since doing the Deviljho lance speedruns in Mh 3tri.
I have said for over a decade that if you play Lance like a turtle, it will feel like fighting as a turtle. However if you play Lance like the boss music is for you, there are very few weapons that give you the same level of “holy shit I just did that”.
Yeah that’s where it turns people off because they don’t realise it is the most aggressive, relentless weapon
Such an underrated weapon. Awesome vid!
Thank you Mikarai!!! I LOVE THE LANCE!❤
It's always a joy watching you play dude
I have troubles with Fatalis and you're out here trick shotting it.. Sheesh ! Love the videos
There are DOZENS of us. You never see a Lance player in HR/MR fumble the bag. Thank you for showcasing the greatness!
Cant wait to see all you fellas in Wilds
can't wait to see lance gameplay in gamescom
At this point I am just as excited to watch you play Wilds as I am to play it myself... poetry in motion as always, well done
0:51 my guy is in a action movie
The ultimate "Hello monster. I plan to kill you without leaving my circle" weapon lol.
Though my favorite thing it the charging attack, it's so fun to travel with it lol.
Toujours aussi incroyable ! Un grand merci ho grand maitre ! :D
Dunks with power guard are the best. Nice lance!
The Lance is my 1st love from all of MONSTER HUNTA!!
These videos man, they are AMAZING
That MH Tri arena theme will forever be GOATed
I've just started to realize how great Lance is when u treat blocking like a rythem game lol
Lance is so fun. Constantly proccing Offensive Guard feels so good.
Man, Iceborne Lance has like only half of the moveset variety compared to Sunbreak Lance.
But the Offensive Guard sound effect + Clutch Claw counter are just so damn sexy.

Great montage!
Lance main here
This is an absolutely beautiful video, thank you sir
Now this makes my lance the BIG lance
RIP Lance in MH Wilds
Steadfast. Unbreakable. Relentless.
We do not hide behind our shields. We do not run away where others must.
We are Lancers. We are Hunters.
*Break* them upon your shield. *Spear* them, just as our ancestors did.
*For tonight, we win glory.*
Lance is the OG counter class!
Definitely one of my favourite rhythm game of all time.
For real tho I freaking love WorldBorne's counter heavy Lance playstyle. Only if they tune up the counter motion value a bit then it'd be perfect.
Enfin nous sommes représentes ! Merci 🤣

Me after any Mikarai's video : Wow I really want to try this weapon now
I have like 2.5k hours in this game and main a lot of weapons including Lance, but I never thought even once about doing backwards block, that's just awesome..
Very convenient that I picked up Lance at the same time this vid popped up. watching it now, I can see I still have a long way to go to master it, but I got most of it right
Great advertisement for the lance. Everyone rates it average at best (if not low) on their weapon tier lists. I was considering it before seeing those ratings. Maybe I should re-consider.
Every time I see one of your videos I get hype to jump back on MHW!
I have 1300 hours in this game and just started lance for the first time and may be a Lance main now. love it
This guy understand the power of the lance!
It makes me sad we have so few lance players.
The best offense, is a good defense. It’s why I love SnS so much. Both blocking and evading.
Videos like these really tempt me to fire up a new game and try Lance
This video has fully convinced me I’ve been sleeping on this weapon for years
When I watch these vids I think to myself:
Yeah, this is what top of the line hunters are like in the MH universe canonically.
If you told me when I started Monster Hunter World that I would play the Lance I don’t think I would’ve believed you.

Old fable said the hero kills the dragon with lance, shield and horse. The symbol courage and devotion to duty.
Welcome back! Beautiful performance as usual!
You motivated me to learn lance and be like you. Ill go for it.
Dear Lance God. Forgive me for ditching the lance in World/Iceborne for the cheesy bowguns.
With this show of power by your Apostles, I am going to main the lance once more in MH Wilds.
In the name of gog I swear.
Man i love lance. Tanking the enemy attack and just refuse to go down feels incredible
And here I thought I was starting to understand the Lance. This is a whole different level.
the way he used the knockback of the shield as a way to attack at 2:50 is genius
im gonna try and use that kind of thinking now lol
I'm gonna have to farm as much level 4 decorations as I can, because clearly my poor showing against Barioth is a combination of that and skill issue.
It is brutal and efficient in its simplicity
I honestly love the aesthetic of the lance and what it represents, an immovable force that know no direction but forward. That being said my monkey brain wants something a bit more flashy and diverse.
ok let's play the lance now. Mikarai you are the most amazing huntress of us all
Wow this is art … awesome video !
HOLY SHIT, LANCE IS A BEAST!
Not any weapon can defend like that except lance!
Great Video! I've never used the lance before, but now I think I'll try it lol
love these kinds of highlight reels
once in a while the youtube algorithm is working...
came out of nowhere, and now im already 14hrs deep into world, learning the lance gameplay and preordered MH:Wilds

I have some quick sheath and prey I can sheath in time ahah
Lance looks so beautiful when you play it :O!
I'm gonna miss that claw guard move in wilds, such a cool idea to be implemented in this game..
hey you got me to be a lance main this is great
250 lance quests and I am nowhere near this level of playing lance...

How in the holiest of hells did u do that block with Shara. That was amazing bro.
This is peak lance right here
you know, I never cared about lance because I thought it was boring. Until I tried it. Now it's my favorite weapon 🤣
Fun fact: lance has enough time to steer out the way of shara ishvalda's laser during the windup using the charge.
Awesome music choice paired with great plays
Strongest Defense = Strongest Attack
Actually amazing, I must get better! Thank you!
This was very satisfying to watch ty!
0:28 okay how in the world did you chain counter-guards? What sorcery and skills do you need to acquire this ability???
It can be chained if the monster triggers the counter and the lance successfully hits the monster
@@keretaman Thank you, i actually managed to find this out yesterday while fighting kushala, its pretty badass
