(INT)-----------------Introduction-----------------
This guide is to help people learn the magic art of Lancing. I have always been
a fan of lances ever since I first played Final Fantasy Tactics and was able to
attack opponents 2 spaces away. Now in Monster Hunter Lances were the most
powerful weapons in the game, now while this might sound like an opinion
its not… They did more damage, they were quick, and everything else that is
good about death. Now in Freedom Lances were “nerfed” (weakened) and now
they have been balanced out to equal the other weapons, this does not however
make them bad weapons in fact by making them weaker it just means that you
can use them more :). Now in this guide I will be showing you many things such
as how to use lances, the different lances in the game, and which wyverns they
are affective against.
(RW)--------------------Reasons Why--------------
I have created this guide for a number of reasons:
1) I'm tired of people constantly dying whilst using my beautiful lances.
2) I believe that lances are often misused and while this won’t end it I think
it can only help…
3) Lances are good and I like talking about them…yeah I know.
(WUL)----------------Why Use Lances-------------
Now even though lances have been weakened and can no longer Head Lock
there are still numerous advantages to using them. Such as there high attack
and element combinations, or there high speed attacks and great ability to
block, attack while blocking, and moving while walking.

-Don't worry more will be coming...
(SYL)----------Lancing Styles---------------
I have a couple different styles that I would like to show you, then I will
tell you a few strategies, whats the difference? well styles are different ways
of using lance while strategies are how to apply these styles to fight wyrvens.
OK here are the styles:
1) Hit And Run
2) Suicide Tank
3) Cutter / Breaker
4) Cautious Tank
5) Tripper
And here are the explanations and requirements for the different styles.
------------------------Hit And Run---------------------
Requirements: Stamina, bring Well Done Steaks.
This strategy is pretty self explanatory, hit the wyrven then before
it can attack, run away. Wait for an oppurtunity and repeat. The stamina is of
course for running from the wyvern.
------------------------Suicide Tank--------------------
Requirements: Strong Armour, Strong Lance, Alot of Potions.
This is one of the funnest strategies. Its simply this, hit the wyverns
weakest point again and again and dont worry about getting hit, gaurd if you
can but c'mon thats what the armour and health is for, also eat Royal Cheese
and Blessed Wine for the Health and Stamina Boost.
------------------------Cutter / Breaker----------------
Requirements: Sharp Lance w/ good attack, Stamina, bring Steaks.
This is basically for online play but it can be utilized offline of course.
Put simply you break the stuff, cut the tail, and whatever the situation might
call for. Now while Guns of course are required for being the Breaker on Lao,
Lance are good for just about anything else.
------------------------Cautious Tank-------------------
Requirements: Strong Lance, Stamina (Power or Mega Juice), good blocking
ability and/or protection Peircing, Anti Roar is a good skill to have.
Now while the peircing is of course optional this is different from the
regular / suicide tanker in 2 ways. 1) You will not be taking as many hits but
2) You won't be doing as much damage... take your pick.
Now in this style you have to damage the weak points of the wyvern however
you must also be wary of approaching attacks, i usually play this role as I
perfer weak armour with good skills than strong armour with garbage skills.
------------------------Tripper-------------------------
Requirements: Strong, Sharp Lance with good blocking abilities, Anti Roar
is a bonus.
This one can be the difference between a 25 minute Diablos and a 10
minutes Diablos. You use the /\ attack to hit the legs. Continue to hit the
legs even once tripped.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------TIPS----------------------------
----All----Tips-----Are-----For---lances----
--------------------Yian Kut-Ku
-Its weak at the wings, i can kill an offline Kut Ku in 5 hits to the wing with
a Black Tempest, use it.
-It trips easily, trip it and hit the tail, another weak point.
--------------------Rathalos
-Its weak point is the head, and its very weak vs. dragon so the Dragon Lances
are good but anything will work, hitting the head is key to a quick battle.
-It doesn't trip as easily as its female counterpart, dont spend time hitting
the feet focus instead on breaking: Both Wings, Tail, and Face Plate.
--------------------Rathian
-Its weak point is the head, and its very weak vs. dragon so the Dragon Lances
are good but anything will work, hitting the head is key to a quick battle.
-It, unlike Rathalos, trips fairly easily, after its head and wings are busted
and the tail is cut, knock it down.
--------------------Gypceros
-Its weak point is the tail, and Fire. Combine them both for a quick kill.
-Its crystal can be broke, once gone it can't use its flash attack.
--------------------Plesioth
-Its stomach is the weak point, and Thunder and Fire are very effective,
however because the only thunder lance... sucks, dont use it focus on raw
attack or Fire instead.
-It Trips very easily however doesnt remain down for long, trip it anyway than
charge at it { /\ + ( ) }.
--------------------Cephadrome
-Its Tail is its weak point , and Fire/ Thunder are also good, but because
there is no real good thunder lance, raw attack and Fire are great.
-Its neck is also weak, attacking this is a great way to kill quickly.
--------------------Monoblos
-Break the horn, once its gone charging attacks do less damage.
-Its weak point is at the beginning of the tail, water is its weak element.
-Tripping it, combined with hitting the beginning of the tail is a great way to
kill quickly.
--------------------Diablos
-Break the horns, once their gone charging attacks do less damage.
-Its weak point is at the beginning of the tail, water is its weak element.
-Tripping it, combined with hitting the beginning of the tail is a great way to
kill quickly.
--------------------Khezu
-Its weak point is the neck, and its weak Vs. Fire.
_It trips INCREDIBLY easily, trip it and while its tripped continu to hit the
feet. Rinse and Repeat and you have 1 dead Khezu.
--------------------Gravios
-Once both chest plate are broken that is its weak point, however that may take
a while. Dragon is the best element to bring.
-Don't flash it unless you have anti-roar armor as it roars alot while flashed.
--------------------Basarios
-Its tail can be broken even though its just the very tip, also its chest plate
can be shattered.
-Don't flash it unless you have anti-roar armor as it roars alot while flashed.
