[edit] Weapon Overview

The long Lances are always acompanied by strong wide shields Lances are long weapons that can strike from a distance. The lance is always accompanied by a large shield which generally grants a powerful defense against most attacks. Although slow and difficult to travel with, the weapon's damage output can be impressive. Lances have different moves, such as the upstab, pierce, and jousting attack. Along with the Sword and Shield, lances are one of the only weapons that can attack and block at the same time. They have a sub-category of weapons known as the Gunlance.

[edit] Weapon Traits

Lances are really strong Weapons due to their traits more than the status shown on them, Lances can be found in 2 main trees (as usual with almost all weapons).

• Lances have an Overall high Sharpness bar compared to other weapons (even though almost no natural white bar of sharpness is available in MHF2)
• Lances come along with a shield.
• Is not rare for Lances to come along with a defense bonus on them, making them ideal for tanking
• Lances have a wide variety of elements within them, making them suitable for the every situation.
• Lances have a really long range of attack due to their natural length.
• Lances have a middle high overall damage (compared to their cousins the gunlances, they are higher)
• Hunters will be able to land 2 kinds of stabs, frontal and upward, both of them able to chain up to 3 times.
• Lance wielder hunters will be able to perform small back jumps and sideways slides (after each one of them you can again chain 3 stabs). After a back jump, if you hold the analog stick right or left and press X, you can do a slide dodge in that direction (useful if you are unfamiliar with the dodging style and back jump towards a monster).
• Lance hunters will be able to perform a charging attack, this one depletes stamina, but its stronger than most attacks and can be finished by a frontal stab.
• Lances have the Fast draw and defensive stance trait.
