Gunlance might have gotten the most changes…

[Fraktal]

Holy smokes where to start:

Almost every animation can be guard canceled
Charged shelling queues up additional shells, instead of one stronger one
Charging your shells guards as well
Wyvern Fire has two modes. One is slow and honestly will never get used. The other is faster but only used after a WS combo
Wyvern Fire has more damage
Wyvern Fire no longer has a GP
Shelling no longer consumes sharpness
Just like Lance we can move slightly around using basic attacks/shelling
Shelling now increases with raw
Can hold two WSs, they can be recharged in other ways besides reloading
Guard Reload has a GP baked in and refills either a WS or WF if landed (will need to look this up later)

Whole new weapon. Completely different from World and Rise.

What’s everyone’s thoughts?

No blast dash. Therefore I am sad.

It's an improvement over world GL at least, but a sidegrade to Rise Lance due to the loss of blast dash and guard reload. I wish they at least kept blast dash in as a mobility tool, something gunlance really needs even with this wilds iteration since their dodges are still garbage looking at the footage. If the concern is about it being too anime to have your hunter soaring across the skies with a normal shelling GL then make it un-chainable.

I was surprised to see no gap closer for GL.

Lance has its iconic dash, HBG got a faster dodge. No longer a fat roll.

Maybe long shelling will have much more range?
