This could've been the best guide ive seen for Gunlancer. Good job my dude. problem though is being lvl 50. can't get all the skills thats required 10 to 10.
If you had to pick one skill to bring to 10, I'd say go for Surge Cannon. The third tripod that can turn it into a 360 spin also reduces the cooldown for every enemy you hit up to 15 seconds. It's easily the best skill for chaos dungeons and anything else that has hordes of enemies since you'll almost always be hitting enough enemies to cut the cooldown in half.
Hello this will probably not be seen but if it does what abyss armor should I be going for red lancer currently going grudge/lone knight/adrenaline and for 4th one master brawler.I wanted to do more of a swiftness concentrated gunlancer maybe 1200 swift stat and 840 crit stat. Any help will be great
You can mix 4 crit dmg set, and 2 mana set for the infinite mana. You will do less damage, but you wont have mana issues. Swiftness gunlancers run out of mana ridiculously fast
Real great video my dude. Would you be able to add a list in the description of the Tripod skills you would use when doing either Guardians in groups/solo and also in Chaos Dungeons? I liked of the points and information you had about the skills but I'm not sure on all of the tripods I should be taking. Any extra information about the tripods you have is much appreciated. Your Gunlancer skin looks really cool.
It might be hard to see but my tripod recommendations are actually in the video (for guardians/raids) For AOE's, you want to build around surge cannon, since it's strong (benefits from supercharge), gets its cooldown reduced from hitting multiple mobs, etc. Gunlancer is a tier 1 chaos dungeon class just because of this one skill lol
Teehee a question for you. I'm currently in t3 1340 as red gl but from what I'm reading from the community people are saying that blue is basically better at the moment in both dps and survivability especially before Argos raids. Red is like we talked about better once we get 33331. Do you think it's worthwhile to swap to blue since relic gear is still months away?
Yes, you can definitely do that. That is true because Combat Readiness is a really good engraving at level 1, whereas lone knight really starts to pop off at level 3 + relic gear.
In your opinion, im currently 324 skillpoints would you rather go lvl 10 gunlace shot with lvl 6 fire bullet or lvl 10 firebullet and lvl 6 counter gunlance? Also thank you for having this amazing guide for me once i switched from blue to red now
Hey man!, really nice and cool guide, I have 336 SP and change it to Red Gunlancer at 1355 iLvl (like 2 days ago lol) and I been testing it and the damage is so cool, in my opinion its feels way better than blue (which is a little clunky to play) but there is only one thing that bothers me: BASH. I know the importance of the skill and I read all the effect compared to Shield Bash and Shield Shock and acknowledge that the benefits are the counter skill , the defense debuff and the attack buff that the other 2 don't have. BUT, I can't deal with the range, is to short! is possible to change Bash for any of the other skills? which one do you recommend if I choose to change it? Or it's much better to get BASH to lvl 10 and then pick the area tripod?
Great content / explenation. What about T3 purple gear that add skill levels? Which are highly sougt after and should get first to xx level? I’m blue gunlancer , but dab also on red build :)
Can you do an in depth mobbing build or how to do mobbing as red gunlance? Feel like my only mobbing skill is surge cannon and shout. Also idk if possible but can you do a red gunlance pvp build?
why do you use the set tha boost critical chance and not the other that buff critical dmg and head atack dmg ? And about stats, full critic them swiftness or 50 / 50 them critical chance gear ? Is just a honest question, if you could give me some insight i would be most gratefull.
I do use the set that boosts crit chance and crit damage. They're are 1 set. I would recommend full crit, then remaining on swiftness for your current server progression. You don't have access to bracelets and set upgrades yet. It's highly recommended to go full crit
Hello nice guide, I'm really looking for a blue/tank guide with some damage as that's what I really want for my first alt, liv your style, think you can make one?
Although I already put the recommended Tripods on the video (kind of hard to see, it's in a small box below the skill image of every skill), I will make another one
It's purely luck :( But don't worry, there's always a shortage of items out on the market when the game first comes out / new grade items come out. Give it a couple of weeks and they will become more available.
it's a lot better, but I still don't use it. That's because the skill is a reactionary skill, and I can't use it to deal damage when I want to. It's still an okay skill. I'd replace fire bullet for it if you really want to use it.
@@hyunwoo0124 Gotcha. Thanks. I think the value is that it's still a defensive skill that can kinda give you more dps uptime, but now the skill itself can also deal some damage.
What is a good build for normal mobbing. I feel like gunlancer is hard to get into for new players because it’s slow, is gunlancer a “take it out for raids” type class?
Sadly yes. We are one of the slowest classes for pushing the story. Because of how slow we are. But become a valuable class for raids and other pve contents down the road
The mokoko outfits are given out through events! The one I'm wearing is the winter mokoko outfit they gave out last christmas. I'm sure they'll hold an event and distribute them soon in NA and EU as well.
yes you can - but it's only worth if the gold isn't too expensive. Combat readiness 1 will help with your shield gauge management, and increase your damage if you're good with managing the CR stacks.
Blue builds are more consistent since they dont need to aim for head attacks, but their damage output is very, very low. Both gunlancer builds have their pros and cons. I will be posting a vid about it soon.
@@hyunwoo0124 Hello another question, on lone knight build barricade seems to provide more dmg than cursed doll, but I dont see end game builds use it even tho when casting our main skills we'll always be shielded up. Can you explain?
In your build you ran 1-2-2 for dash upper fire. Do you think its fine to run 3-2-2 instead for the ready attack so that after your initial combo with taunt, bash, surge, stinger, you can re-apply ready attack for gunlance shot and fire bullet? Would this be viable or is running dash upper fire on cdr better for the short term dmg and increased availability for countering?
I chose quick prep for the exact reasons you specified. Additionally, since you can only run 11 gems, running quick prep allows for 1 additional gem slot for another dmg gem instead (instead of upper fire CD gem). Both are viable choices for legitimate reasons
@@hyunwoo0124 I appreciate the quick and thorough explanation to why you choose cd over dmg, I agree and value utility and team play over dmg as well, cheers man!
Before getting your hands on relic gear (about the time when valtan comes out) you want to invest all your stats into crit and the excess on swiftness/agility. A good spot is about 70-80% crit chance.
Once relic gear comes out, you will get 20% crit chance from the set option alone, allowing you to invest into swiftness more. But until then, you need the crit from your base stats
If you are talking about SP, I feel you on it. There's really no way around it, the game forces you to get them, or you will be weak. I say start on the ones that could take weeks or months to get first. As for engravings, I have a video on it, it should work regardless of the state of the NA/EU meta
Yes. You're just not as tanky as a blue gunlancer, but you're still tankier than anything else in the game. Later when more raids come out, however, the 'tank' role kind of disappears, because taunt doesn't really do much for the team. It's either support or DPS. I will explain this in a later vid
They both have very distinct pros and cons. The lone knight requires a lot more careful planning and micro management. Combat readiness is much simpler.
Backstepping is extremely important. Your Z skill only grants physical CC immunity, whereas backsteping gives you immunity to every type of CC. Although we have a short and annoying (because of going backwards) spacebar mobility skill, it has its pros as well. It's on a very low cooldown. It gives us the ability to truly facetank and eat up CC for days. It's also good for shield gauge management. When you want to save up on your shield gauge, but need the CC immunity, you can quickly turn off the Z skill, use backstep to eat up the CC, then turn it back on.
@@hyunwoo0124 Thanks for the reply. Then do you have any tips (M+KB control wise) to manage this backstep? It seems like most bosses hv these really wide arcs and deep hitboxes that will still hit me anyway if mashing backstep while facing the boss. I have to somehow make my char face sideways or turn 180 first before backstepping which is really clunky.
Played around a bit more, and realized that you can backstep away from where you position your cursor, so you don't have to manually turn first. This makes it far less clunky, but still requires some getting used to. Hope this help others who haven't realized this yet.
Is my gunlancer broken? There is no such skill as surge cannon :(( I'm level 50 but even if i needed to be higher level to use it it should still show up as grey, right? but its not showing up at all. I never would have even know about this ability without this video
This is almost all what i expect about build explanation!(not fckn gameplay as guide )this and other your movie about lone knight on your channel make full build guide. just miss tripod best variants and why its so... for example is confusing to me what is generaly better for surge cannon: piercing shot or high explosive shot. You got mine like button and this should mean something, since you are maby but no more then a 4th person when i used this button on her channel. P.S. i dont need to experiment by my self enough if did it someone before, Pragmatic way is so simple.

this is the guide ive been looking for - amazing quality and content!
This is the first good guide I've found on gunlancer that explains the whys and the problems with following a guide directly. Great work!
This was a fantastic guide! After using the Powerpass on the Gunlancer, I had no idea about all the skills lol
Pretty ballsy to potentially waste a powerpass, as Gunlancers are a hit and miss to many :)
Well done. Quick, straight to the point, and no off-topic rambling. 100% subbed and will keep coming back for more.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is the best video I’ve seen for lonely knight, much appreciated!
Finally a good video where someones going through everything.
Nice to know about the Wealth rune interaction with shout of hatred! I wad using it
Thanks for the super detailed explainatory, just started a new acc for gunlance specifically to get all the early game rewards from islands
This changed the way I looked at my GL. It’s so much fun. Ty for this information 👏🏽👍🏽
Very Very informative, I'm a new Gunlancer, and needed this. Everything I've tried to search says use this but not why. The why interests me more.
Couldn't find anything decent until this vid, thanks for the details!
Great guide, thank you!
This could've been the best guide ive seen for Gunlancer. Good job my dude. problem though is being lvl 50. can't get all the skills thats required 10 to 10.
yeah the early game struggle for SP is real. I say weigh the values of each skill and max out the ones that increases your damage the most.
If you had to pick one skill to bring to 10, I'd say go for Surge Cannon. The third tripod that can turn it into a 360 spin also reduces the cooldown for every enemy you hit up to 15 seconds. It's easily the best skill for chaos dungeons and anything else that has hordes of enemies since you'll almost always be hitting enough enemies to cut the cooldown in half.
Very informative, thank you for putting it together!
Looking forward for a blue gunlancer video! Great content
Best Warlord guide on UA-cam. Thank you.
Those damage numbers are amazing.
Great guide, thanks for going over everything in detail.
Hello this will probably not be seen but if it does what abyss armor should I be going for red lancer currently going grudge/lone knight/adrenaline and for 4th one master brawler.I wanted to do more of a swiftness concentrated gunlancer maybe 1200 swift stat and 840 crit stat.

You can mix 4 crit dmg set, and 2 mana set for the infinite mana. You will do less damage, but you wont have mana issues. Swiftness gunlancers run out of mana ridiculously fast
@@hyunwoo0124 Thank you for the help.Are there specific armor pieces like gloves/weapon etc... that should be for the mana regeneration?
nope, the equipment parts do not matter
@@hyunwoo0124 sorry for late response.thank you very much for that help/information
love the video, wish you talked a little about secondary stats and engravings. beside that very solid and compact
Thank you for the guide it is very useful!
loved the video keep up the good work
Really nice video!
Can u tell me how you show the display front and back sides of the bosses?
I asked the same on ATKs channel, apparently recently they got an update that shows that, so we (west) might get it at some point as well
I hoped someone would ask. That would be a good option/setting. I guess I'll wait for an update
Thank you for the video!
Probably the best Lone Knight guide! Any chance that you will make a guide for blue build gunlancer?
Very helpful bro, I just might switch to red lancer over blue now
i wanna say it in french
MERCI MEC TU GèRES DE FOU
thank u a lot.
Love this guide

@@hyunwoo0124 I’ll give you a moment, just to see if something changes 😜
Nice video , so i should go full specialization ?
No. never go specialization on red gunlancer, you need to go crit and the extras into swiftness
What do you think about counter gunlance post patch? Got quite a big damage buff.
Can you do an in depth mobbing build or how to do mobbing as red gunlance? Feel like my only mobbing skill is surge cannon and shout.
Also idk if possible but can you do a red gunlance pvp build?
How do know about the percentages of overall output on skills? I wish I knew it for other classes too

Currently on NA, i have level 3 on Lone Knight and Supercharge. Do you recommend dropping some of eother one for another engraving?
nope, that's completely fine
how to do add class engravings on to necklaces/accessories?
is it purely just some luck of the drop or can you add them on after?
It's purely luck :(
But don't worry, there's always a shortage of items out on the market when the game first comes out / new grade items come out.
Give it a couple of weeks and they will become more available.

@@hyunwoo0124 Thanks, awesome guide overall :)
what about stats , some say agi some crit? great guide and really well made :)
Before getting your hands on relic gear (about the time when valtan comes out) you want to invest all your stats into crit and the excess on swiftness/agility.
A good spot is about 70-80% crit chance.
Once relic gear comes out, you will get 20% crit chance from the set option alone, allowing you to invest into swiftness more. But until then, you need the crit from your base stats
Aside from Supercharge, which engravings should you try to max? Is Lone Knight one or do you just get the level 1 activated?
I would master either grudge or lone knight from your setup
between gunlance shot, fire bullet, and dash upper fire which one should i prioritize having maxed?
gunlance shot or firebullet as they increases your DPS the most
these guides are cool and all, but would be nice to see someone make a current na/eu gunlance build with fresh 50 stats and engravings etc
If you are talking about SP, I feel you on it. There's really no way around it, the game forces you to get them, or you will be weak. I say start on the ones that could take weeks or months to get first.
As for engravings, I have a video on it, it should work regardless of the state of the NA/EU meta
Whats ur engraving? Radiness or lone? And what stats u preffered, spezialisation or crit?
Lone Knights go for crit.
Readiness's go for spec.
I play the lone knight
@@hyunwoo0124 Wooa thankyou! and what about second combat stats for lone knight u prefer? swiftness ?
@@kelvinomara690 yeah, swiftness is the only way to go
how many skill points are needed for this skill set?thanks
how do i get surge cannon i got shield charge bur not the cannon
You get it during your awakening quest line
@@hyunwoo0124 yeah i just got it thanks :))
What tripods for all skills for lone knight? I only have 264 skill points :/
if you can get just 4 more, you can use counter gunlance lv.4 and upperfire lv.4 and get everything.
It might be hard to see but my tripod recommendations are actually in the video
So, can you still tank dungeons and stuff with this build? Like in world of Warcraft?
Yes. You're just not as tanky as a blue gunlancer, but you're still tankier than anything else in the game. Later when more raids come out, however, the 'tank' role kind of disappears, because taunt doesn't really do much for the team. It's either support or DPS. I will explain this in a later vid
Hey, in your opinion, which one is better? Lone Knight or Combat Readiness?
They both have very distinct pros and cons.
The lone knight requires a lot more careful planning and micro management.
Combat readiness is much simpler.
Should I prioritize having lone knight 3 before worrying about my next engraving?
I would recommend getting Lone Knight 1, then Super Charge 3. THEN work on getting lone knight to level 3.
WHat is that showing your the facing?
Do you main solo Knight? I would like to see a blue Knight build too
I will make a comparison video soon
Just started this class and had a hard time dodging with back step, is it important to master the back step for this class? Or can i skip using it?
Backstepping is extremely important.
Your Z skill only grants physical CC immunity, whereas backsteping gives you immunity to every type of CC.
Although we have a short and annoying (because of going backwards) spacebar mobility skill, it has its pros as well. It's on a very low cooldown. It gives us the ability to truly facetank and eat up CC for days.
It's also good for shield gauge management. When you want to save up on your shield gauge, but need the CC immunity, you can quickly turn off the Z skill, use backstep to eat up the CC, then turn it back on.
