What are your favourite lances?

[Andru]

The main weapon I've always used since mhfu
Is gunlance however since my mhw save got deleted recently I decided to start fresh again with Lance. And I've fallen in love with the elegant art of poking the ♥♥♥♥ out of monsters.
Counters are really satisfying and and it's a nice change from gunlance since it still fits my playstyle.
I've only used the defender Lance which kinda felt like cheating, I just butchered every monster and didn't need to drink a single potion until I got to diablos in highrank I don't think im all that good so I think they should nerf the defender weapons or make them harder to craft because it basically makes it so that you don't even need to craft any other weapon until you get to g rank .but that's another discussion, point is I am looking for some advice on which lances to make since I'm now on G rank and own only one weapon which I assume is useless now.

Lance is actually in the interesting position where anything basically works. You build for raw damage and if they have any innate awakened element or status they can edge out the pure raw options against the right matchups.

One, or several, of the Ore, Bone, Rathalos, Kulu-Ya-Ku, Pukei Pukei, or Dodogama Lances would probably be good options to start with in Iceborne until you fill out the weapon trees and decide for yourself what to go for.

i leveled with pukei lance, its easy to build a good poison set at the start, after that i went to odogaron, amazing affinity, lets you get to 100% affinity without extra skills like tenderizer.
keeping the defender until endgame is also not a bad option, you cant get a health augument on the leveling lances until you beat the endboss.

best endgame lance is probably nergi lance atm, has high raw and good natural sharpness.
the endboss lance and yian garuga are pretty good too.
i personally have a softspot for the lunastra lance styx, cause i used it in the base game for a long time, but its raw is a bit low.

only thing i miss is a high rank drachen set atm to get all the skills in.
nice thing is we can build a 5 guard charm now.

Kulu Ya Ku tree is accessable quite early in Iceborne and is a very solid non-elemental lance. I'm up to the last boss now and it's the only one I've used.

Sharq Attack from 3rd Gen will always be the best lance

I just got the Brachydios lance, which is a straight upgrade from the Defender lance. But apparently there are little raw lances, meaning eventually I'll have to craft all the elements and swap according to the monster...

thanks ill defenitely try the kulu and pukei laces i was thinking rathalos as a fire one too

if you want an early rank 12 lance savajho is out there if you had a deviljho lance already XD just make sure you got somthing like masterwork it hink it is called to increase the sharpnes smayby get soem more affinity too but i kinda use it whitout them still does decend damadge and it loooks dope as hell whit that angry dragon energy stuff around it and a bit more blood sadly the cb doesn thave this otherwise look at mayby the valkhena stuff for ice as valkhena is sharp as fck in terms of early gunlance look for that sweet sweet chakalaka gunlance :p doesn thave white but ton of blue sharpness it aint too bad tbh and is easy to make only goes to rank 11
