Lance equipment suggestions for first real Velkhana fight?
You know, the one after the rather comical "barrier" mission.
I get my ass whooped currently.

You need Guard Up for lance unless you are evade lance pro, against velk.

either fire (for damage) or dragon (for elderseal) lance with guard up, guard and ice resistance of 20 to prevent blight.
i'd take dragon lance, wear 2 pieces of uragaan (legs, body or waist), 2 pieces of hazak (helmet, body or gloves) and a guard or offensive guard charm

Crisis decoration will pretty much nullify ice blight penalty. When you get a crisis/expert lv4 decoration put it in your armour. Helps against water blight too. Such an underrated decoration.

Yeah, without Guard Up, it's hard to do anything against her. Plus, many of her moves are ranged so counter claw is tough to make use of. I've stopped using lance against her for the most part, because even with Guard Up, it's tough to stay close to her.

Glavenus Lance comes to mind, it's got all around good stats and is easy to make.

id go as far as to say just play a different weapon when fighting velkhana her breath attack is unblockable the last time i checked and i dont think i have a guard up deco i enjoy lance and its my second most played weapon but if a monster has an unblockable attack then i just have to switch to something else

Having Guard Up is the only way to fight Velkhana. That sweeping breath beam is straight-up death for Lance if you can’t block it.

Otherwise she feels like fighting any tail-oriented monster, where you focus their head until they’re stupid enough to let you clutch counter the tail.

Get Northern Camp (15) unlocked before you even bother.

Death Garon Lance is good. High Elderseal, 35% Affinity, 330 Dragon
Minqar al-Nasr 2 with Elementless jewel is decent. (Put High Elderseal weapon on your felyne if you use this)

Aim for Guard Up, Guard 4 or 5 (Guard 3 is a bit weak as her knockback is strong and repeated). Vitality 3, Ice Resist 3, As much Critical Eye as you can, Sharp gem if you have it.
At least 20 Ice Resist before meal, 35+ after eating for Elemental Resist (L). Use Max Potion at start of mission, then restock from tent before you go to fight

Block everything. Stick to her like glue. Watch youtube of someone doing it with lance if visual tactic is easier to learn.
