Finally! My favorite weapon DoTW is here!

My career as a lance started when I was a n00b trying to kill my first Great Jaggi. I tried with SnS a million times, but that b*stard always killed me. After a while, I tried using other weapons against him. I tested all weapons in Moga Freehunting against some Aptonoths. I decied both Lance and hammer were great candidates. I was going to use Hammer at first, but, I used the lance.

I totally kicked GJ's ass with the Lance. So, I decied that I'll was going to be a lancer. I beated FULL offline using ONLY lances. I beated all the monsters in my first try, always with a lance in my hand.

Then I went online. At first, much like in offline, I wasn't using other weapons, but at HR 40~ I started using other weapons, mainly hammers.

So, why I like lances so much?

First of all, they have both defensive and offensive weapons. They have great sharpness, so it's great for large hunts. Second, they are accompanied by huge shields, wich protects you for almost every attack. Third, usually you can found lances with all the elements/ailments types. So it's great for supporting. In fact, they are the best supporters in my opinion. They also have accurate and powerful stabs, great for reaching tails, heads, weak parts... Apart of the stab, they have a wide options of attacks, including the running charge, the counter stab...

With the use of Guard+2 or Evade (Or both at the same time) this weapon is a deadly option to hunt EVERYTHING you want. But of course, you must need to know how to use it, like all the weapons (No, charge spam is not a way to use it, you are a lancer, not a Renophlos ¬¬ )

WALL-O-TEXT FTW!
