How tf do i counter Lance

[Hex: John]

It's hitboxes are undodgeable. Change my mind

What ELO are you at?

I had the same thinking in the past, now I changed my mind as I found out how you can easily punish them. There's worse weapons to counter as more you progress in the game, you will realise within time :p

Try to play lance and understand a bit how it works.

This is actually so correct, I have no issues against lance. I mainly struggle against orb hammer and cannon because they're the weapons I have the least experience playing against. I used to HATE scythe, but I played a bunch of mirage and nix as well as practised against my friend who is a scythe main and now I have no grudge against the weapon at all. Idk what shady is on about, weapon preferences depend on the person.

Just play a bunch of lance, get good with it and learn what combos work and why. Then you'll know exactly what your opponent is going for and where they want you to be. My tip is to stay just above the ground, low enough to avoid a nair but high enough to avoid an slight, bait out the dairs and sairs and punish them for it. And for gods sake mix up your dodges.

HOLY JESUS. We just tried double Orion with my gf in 2v2 and boy. 10 out of 11 games won. Our W/L is usually roughly 0.5 (casual btw). My ELO otherwise is around 1200. It's frustrating that i dont know how to get higher

The game revolves around hitboxes, spacing and reads. Try playing it like a 2d dark souls.

Lance is awesome in lower ranks, it's known as a noob killer ;)

Before my game started being super choppy and now its unplayable I dropped damn near 300 rating points :(

Anyway, as a Good Player, Lance is a BS weapon. Not only does it have range, but there is a zero frame hit box ratio meaning its attack is instant. Take that into account when playing a lance.

Not only does it have zero frame hit box ratio, your opponent is on the other end of the weapon lol... So you have to get past the lance to get to your opponent, if you don't take that into account you will miss your opponent a lot. They just need to make Brawlhalla 2. This game has a cheesey design. Its good, but cheesey... Nothing you could do about it.. Some players are way more equipped than others, for example: Orion vs Yumiko ... LOL... I used to rely on my reflexes to counter these players, but now I have 15 fps even tho I have a high end PC ... Ok.. I will just be in the discussions complaining until one of these devs fixes it...

So after all this time, lance is still a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weapon they can't balance because the brawlhalla devs are insufferable soyboys. Great. So basically play casuals and D/C anytime a lance player appears if i'm not running direct counter legends. Got it.

You're just bad

Let me know when you're ready to 1v1. Just because I don't like to play against the weapon doesn't mean i don't win the vast majority of my matchups, plat player.

How is ''plat player'' an insult?

Probably not today, but if not so, I will be sure to tell you.

I think you're just making excuses to be honest, if you think that lance's hitboxes are stupid op, let me tell you a lifehack:

1. Weapon throw.
2. Float above them. (Not too close to them, or they will nair you. Be sure to stay quite far above.)

If all you do is try to aggro them with combos then no wonder you're getting destroyed, lance is easy to counter once you play more passively.

And that's the issue. Telling people to play like a cuck to counter a weapon is unacceptable. I'd rather DC from a match than play like a soyboy and just wait for my opponent to do ♥♥♥♥. Low testosterone playstyle isn't something people want to adapt just to beat the weapon. In casuals when people just wait on me to do something I just leave and find an opponent who's favorite song isn't Mr. Brightside.

Not gonna lie, had a cheeky giggle reading this, but it really is an eye opener on how some do think, to the original poster, i can't tell you how to counter it exactly cause i do struggle myself.
just find those openings and understand the weapon you are against. Unlike Randy Savage here who would try to run through a brick wall when there is a door right next to him, and find that opening. and yea, practice.
