Slap lance is the best with Fatalis GL?

[astranabeat]

Long 7 not exist and shell damage of normal and wide shell stay the same so now slap lance is the best for GL?

Want to test it myself but I'm still farm Fatalis to make all alpha and beta armor. Only weapon I made is LS. Evil eyes is pain to farm.

Don't know what slap lance is but gunlance does quite poorly in this fight, at least the players that I've seen do nothing but damage the legs . You can easily farm evil eyes with SA.

I only play burst anyways, I believe thats the more known term and yeah it felt great. If you need help with getting eyes I'm a SA main so staying on the face usually is my home.

Gunlance doesn't seem like it'd be very viable in a solo situation, but if you've got friends working on the head and they don't mind you staking Fatalis' groin / chest and just shelling it to pieces throughout the fight, you could probably contribute to quite a bit of damage that way, maybe even breaking the chest for them along the way.

He's slow and has a tendency to sit around dramatically doing long stationary fireball and firebreath attacks, that'd give you plenty of time to implant your stake into him as well, plus your shield would pretty much guarantee you would never die to his firebreath cone which is pretty much the number one reason for carts in that quest in my opinion.

I've never played slaplance so I can't really comment on it, I don't even know what the best melee combos for a Gunlance is, I have like 500 Gunlance uses but literally every single one of those has been braindead Wide shelling poke-shell gameplay lol. In theory it would seem like it would be very easy sticking to such a large target and shelling him for the entire fight, sharpening during his arena fire attacks though.

It just doesn't sound appealing for solo play at all, unless you wanted to just do nothing but clutch attacks on his head all fight, and if you were going to do that you'd probably just bring a Switch Axe, right?

Wait, did they make Normal shelling do the same damage as Wide shelling now? I thought there was more to different shell types than capacity, I thought the damage and distance / radius of the shell also changed too?

Technically 'Slaplance' is/was separate from Burst/Fullburst/Normal.

It's a heretical style where you don't invest in any shelling damage boosts, using more standard melee damage boosts instead, and as such don't typically use any shelling attacks. Typically revolves around ledge hopping, or using the standard burst combo without the burst.

Not sure if it's still considered a practical style post-Iceborne, since the addition of the WSB added a lot to shelling styles.

Seems like it is, based on matalos discord.

the style got outmoded with the release of iceborne as they nerfed the attacks a bit. and with level 7 normal and wide it became more practical to invest in the shellng again. Long 6 is still useful for charged shell spam but is outdone by the other two shell styles.

but the pure raw on fatalis weapons, maybe slap lance is viable again? all i know is on a full burst lance style, you will get some heavy hits in regardless so a hybrid slap style with full burst is probably viable.

Just found speed run slap lance. He hit so freaking hard.

I found long 7 mod in nexus and found out there is data of long 7 in the game. Long 7 + wrymstake + food skill deal 327 damage per charge shell. Is this broken compare to slap damage in the video above? I don't think so. My LS build deal average 200 damage per hit. I think it even more strong than long 7. Still Capcom won't give long 7 to us. Why even has data in the game then?
