Weapon description
- A Lance is very similar to a Gunlance. Just like with that weapon, here, you have to rely on your weapon's reach, thrusts and shield that can protect you from enemy attacks.
- This weapon can make you a king of defense. You won't be mobile but your shield is enough. You can choose from a few different types of blocks and the strongest one can protect you even from the most powerful enemy attacks. Also, you can use your Lance and hide behind a shield all at the same time.
- Forward charge is also rather useful - use it for 3 seconds and your character will gain a lot of speed. This is a perfect attack that can be used on an escaping enemy or you can use it to run away from danger.
- While using this weapon you will mostly jump to sides or forward/backward. A Lance mechanic is rather fluid - perform thrusts -> dodge an attack -> attack -> use more dodges and repeat. In theory, this may sound boring but using dodges in the right way can be really satisfying.
For whom is this weapon?
- This weapon is perfect for those players who want to create a Medieval knight. You can use a long lance, charge at enemies and dodge a lot of attacks.
- Blocking mechanic is rather simple and countering an attack will let you survive even the most dangerous situations. A skillful Lance player is rarely knocked down.
- Combos and thrusts are easy to learn. This is one of the weapons that doesn't require a lot of time to learn how to use it. Attacks are simple and your tactic stays, more or less, the same.
- This is a good weapon for solo players. You have a lot of defensive options and rather good offensive capabilities. In multiplayer, a character with this weapon can become a great tank who will attract a monster's attention.
Conclusion: A weapon with a lot of defensive capabilities that offers a fun gameplay. Once you learn how to counter and dodge attacks, you will be able to defeat every foe.
