Frostfang as a Lance User

[Jaevwyn]

Fun fight, easier than expected but it does only have 22k health - suppose we need to bare in mind not all monsters are gonna be endgame challenges.

Though for a lance user all i was hearing was:
"Dear Lance Users, ♥♥♥♥ you and your blocking of breath attacks, have some ice that applies through power guard. Sincerely Capcom"

[Recel]

Well, I guess it's a good reminder that Lance can move rather well and not just block... well, okay, you can move AND block too.

[Faust Wither]

all equal, everyone get sht in here.

Capcom doesn't even know there's like 10 lance mains across all platforms lol.
Everyone has to deal with "the floor is glue" mechanic.

[Sekaro]

Yeah they really need to stop that. Sacrificing a charm for Lvl5 Guard & a slot for guard up should yield better results than this. Getting ice blighted is enough. No need to render us completely helpless too for trying to guard an "unblockable attack" with a skill that's supposed to help us do so.

What's worse they still allow you to move ever so slightly, giving you the illusion there's something you can do. But no. It's essentially just another kind of stun.
Also, just because I can't walk from it, why does my character magically forget they have a huge effin' shield?

You know come to think, does mirewalker work on his breath? If it doesn't, it should :D

Theres also a feline skill that helps with terrain, i use it on Shara sometimes... wonder if that works too

[Ortaign]

It's pretty ironic considering one of the lead developer's favorite weapon just so happens to be Lance.

Bit of a side note here; Guard Up decoration was a mistake, Guard Up should just be built into every shield.

It doesn't, guess they realized it helped against Shara.
The only thing Capcom don't skimp on is cheapness.

Not a hard fight, just pointlessly annoying.

Haven't been able to fight it. Can someone confirm if any of these works to nullify that attack?

a) High ice resistance (> +20);
b) Iceproof mantle;
c) Blight Resistance LV3;
d) Coldproof skill;

Sadly, capcom is going more into that route than creating fun yet challenging monsters. It's mostly a mini MMO Raid for every recent fight they made (you have to the exact actions they expect you to do at any time to be successful). I don't like that direction at all.

Well, Ala kinda failed for them in that regard since we can wreck him with a minimum of effort on the elemental damage check, I was thinking more of cheap gimmicks and disrupting the player in general.
That's another discussion though, I can hear the gatekeepers hurrying this way already.

Only bothered with a couple of runs on FF Barioth, and none of the first three nullify that attack, merely the ice blight. Didn't try Coldproof but I doubt it.
Like all their gimmicks, they went to the trouble of making it so you're d*mn well going to enjoy it.

Watched Canta for a few minutes doing the fight with lance. His only comment was 'miserable', but it looked quite doable.

It even gets you during a counter clutch.

Did anyone else get a gold crown Frostioth on one of their first goes? Literally just my 2nd Frostioth and I got gold large.
