How do i know when an attack is unblockable , the old good trial and error ?

By finding out the hard way pretty much. Or look it up online.

A perfect block is pretty much what you said. Easily activated by countering or guard stepping. Power guard never activates.

You don't need any stamina skills for lance, I've not touched any while using it.

Based in the official speedruns of each weapon the 5 best are heavy bowgun, bow, ,great sword, light bowgun and dual blades. This doesn't mean the other weapons in the game are bad, for example lance is the worst in speedruns, but is a defensive weapon.
Each weapon have a different playstyle, so just try many weapons and play the ones with which you are more confortable and get more fun. At least if you aren't going to make speedruns.

Thanks everybody for all the tips , the MH community here in steam is being really helpfull to me

So about those unblockable attacks , the Anjanath grab gave me so much trouble .
I'm used to see a big red flash on the screen before unblockables from almost every action game i have played before MH , so i keep being caught by them in here

How do i know when an attack is unblockable , the old good trial and error ?

And what is a perfect block ? Is that like parry , blocking the moment the attack is about to hit you ? Does it work with normal block or it's a counter-thrust thing ?

The marathon runner skill would be usefull for a lance user ? For things like lance charge or power guard that burns through stamina , or would i be better just improving the timing to use those ?

Do Power guard covers 360° ?

better don't rely too much on guard there is alot of stuff in masterrank which can still kill you when you try to block

Messaggio originale di Xenos:

Guard Up doesn't increase shield effectiveness, stamina consumption, reduce chip, etc.
Its use is exclusively to make attacks that normally cannot be blocked, able to be blocked. It got changed in Rise to be more useful. In World its use is almost exclusively to block Elder Dragon supernovas, large multi-hitting breath attacks, and pinning attacks.

only hr pins
mr monster will troll you if you try to block their pin attack
savage jho is a good example

You can tell, this guy only had either a low level of guard or just guard up as their stamina was drained in 5 hits

Edit: changed from 3 to 5 hits

I really hope it's the case of the person having low level or no guard skill and maybe low defense stat

I don't mind having to build my char to suit my playstyle as long as it's actually a viable playstyle
I want to get the hang of the lance's footwork but , if i had to rely on hops more then in my Shield i would have choosen a dodge based weapon

Let me see if i understood, you mean not every pin attack is blockable with guard up skill ?

Sorry, to clarify what I meant, I meant a low level of the armor skill called Guard.
There's 5 levels of it, the highest with the most beneficial outcome when it comes to Lance.
Ofc, however, you don't need too high of the Guard armor skill
