GL is just a lance with different controls and no charge, counter, and can just hop once.

I'm no master, but here are some random GL tips:


 * The new overhead smash for GL is the most powerful normal attack for a GL. You can do it after two stabs, or after doing the quick reload (press A immediately after shelling). You can also combo a Wyvern Fire or a Full Burst right after the overhead smash.


 * If you want to have fun with Full Burst, you could do this quick combo: shell > quick reload > overhead smash > full burst. Full Burst works well with Normal Type GL (the one with 5 ammo).


 * Use shells to reset your combo. When you trip up a monster, just do stab > stab > shell, then you can do the stab combo again then finish off with a Wyvern Fire combo.


 * After an attack, push back then dodge to backstep longer. You could also push left or right then dodge to sidestep longer. I think you will hop about twice the distance of a regular hop.
