Lances and Constitution

[Fregi]

Very simple. I was wondering if constitution is worth running on lance. Right now, I just have constitution 2 as a bit of a byproduct of having 2 guardian/physique decos.

Is it worth it to keep constitution on a lance, or should I just swap it out for something else? If so, what?

Hard to say what you should swap it to without knowing what you already have, but if you feel like you have the space for it, by all means feel free to run it. Personally, I wouldn't really say it's worth, though.

Constituion does not affect powerguard. The skill says that it only affects fixed stamina draining moves, such as evading, firing a bow, or taking a hit with the shield.

The way that powerguard works makes it so that it stops your stamina bar from reducing when you take a hit at the cost of increased chip damage.

Not worth it in the slightest. Focus on getting a higher level of Guard

I never use any of the stamina related skills on my Lance sets, they're hungry enough as it is. Better to slot in Evade Extender so you cover more ground for the same amount stamina, and it's generally not a good idea to be holding your counter or power guard for very long except in certain circumstances where you can easily prepare for it, etc.

Most of the time any stamina lost holding those is quickly replenished during the counter animation or while a monster is recovering from its attacks anyway. Has a bit of use if you like to use joust charging a lot, but with Raider Riders the travel aspect of it has kind of been made redundant and you have enough stamina by default to use it and reach the full charge without any skills too.

Stamina skills? Pah! Just bring Dash Juice!

Focus on offensive skills. Attack Boost, Crit Eye, Offensive Guard, Weakness Exploit, Crit Boost, Agitator. you already have stamina decrease with Guard V (50%). Depending on the lances you use, Handicraft is another option depending on the lance as some weapons cannot have their sharpness increased, but then Protective Polish is another decent enough choice if you have the deco.

Guardian/Crit and/or Guardian/Attack are decent options, if you're aiming for Crit 7 & Attack 4.
