Zoh Shia is BS on lance.

[DOOM]

Why the hell cant i block his downward flame attack? I just keep dying to it even with a perfect guard, worst fight in the game, at least on lance.

Do you have the shield jewel/guard up skill?

[DOOM]

It would be at least manageable if lance had any sort of mobility, but you are basically forced to guard it, since you dont have time to get away from it.

Yeah i have a min maxed elemental setup, with Razor sharp/ironwall, Critical Jewel 3 and Guardian/Ironwall.

you will get knocked down if the source is coming from behind, but yeah, this boss isnt hard at just anoying for most weapons, switchaxe sucks too since you cant really have a full combo before he does his signature random spam of bs. Gunlance makes this "boss" a joke. 10 min solo

Perfect guard is supposed to cover you on all sides, as it does with many other monsters with flame attacks. Unsure why this would be the single time it doesnt tbh.

Also im positive im looking at the stream of fire infront of me sometimes, and it still happens. Might be a bug, or the boss is just bs with lance haha.

Perfect guard doesn't cover on all sides, it braces to cover from the front for no stamina loss outside of the extreme stamina loss that you use to use it. You can block the fire attack from Zoh Shia in the story mode, so it stems to believe you can do it in the HR version, but if the fire is not right infront of you, it won't work. You got hit on the head/back.

I'm having a pretty decent time with Switch Axe. Even getting tossed around like a ragdoll and using almost all my healing I still killed him in 16 minutes.

I'm sure I could shave that down a lot more if I just stopped getting hit.

Im almost positive it can as ive watched a guide that claims this + ive seen it in action plenty of times against arcveld when he rushes you from the front and then swings his chains at you from behind. Maybe im confusing it with another move, but its the guard you have to charge twice.

[Hunter Iradan]

Get guard up.

These are the deco's on my lance rn. Guardian/Ironwall, Critical 3, Rzr Sharp/Ironwall. So i should have 2/3 levels of guard up.

I've been a loyal SWAX main since 3U. I have over 1000 hunts in World with it, with 2nd highest being Hammer at like 20 lmao. I just love SWAX with a passion.

It's really not that bad, not nearly as complex as Charge Blade.

If you want blocking + mobility sword and shield is pretty great and very easy relative to many other weapons
