I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that I just have no idea wtf I’m doing trying to make a decent Gog gunlance. I’ve been rocking the G. Ark for so long and now it’s time to upgrade and I’m confused. I’ve tried looking up a basic how-to guide but I get long videos of how to save scum and all these super fine details.

Could anyone give me a simple push in the right direction? I don’t have an artian weapon yet because I don’t want to waste materials without knowing what im doing.

Do I need a good artian weapon BEFORE I upgrade it to a Gog? Do u fully upgrade the artian weapon first? Do the stats on the artian weapon transfer to the Gog version?

Thank you for helping out. Just fyi I don’t really aim for the meta I mean it’s nice if I get that but really I just want to joint SOS fights and hunt monsters without carting too much. Thank you!

More curious if anything. I’ve only ever played GU, Worldbourne, Risebreak, and Wilds, and Normal or Wide seem to take turns being “the best” in those games. I actually kinda like the spot it’s in in World, and prefer it over Wide for Slaplance in Rise. I heard at one point it was considered the best in Rise but it seems like after Sunbreak people only talk about Normal. With how absolutely neutered it was in Wilds I’m curious if there were points you could say “other shelling have their niche but Long is overall the best.”

I saw a video talking about the cornpopper as a shelling build, and ended up making it. So far i really like it, but i have this thought in the back of my head that maybe it could be better, so i gotta ask how good it is, am i handicapping myself by using it? Or is it good enough?

I’m finally trying the Gild Queens siege for the first time, thought I could handle it alone.. Guess again!!
I’m on XBOX at the moment could use the help if anyone is interested.

So i was checking my artian rolls trying to find a good attack boost roll and i found a roll for an artian weapon that has 4 element boost and 1 affinity boost. I also know i have a rathalos flare and lord soul gogma roll not too far so i can use that too.

my question is, would that be good for gogmazios phase 1 for fire dmg as i dont have a good one rn. I only have a 3 attack boost dragon gogma.

Currently rocking 4 g odo pieces+ ajark with a tier 8 artian, what should i aim for for armor before gog?

What I love most are the explosions and the powerful shield, and what I hate most is the rapid loss of sharpness.

My plan was to clutch claw zip and boom, universe had other plans- a hero finds a way, or something

Anyone else have any kill shots that made them go “HUH”?

was really proud of my offensiveness and dodging in this clip so i wanted to share! am using artian GL normal slightly strong dragon element, because I like those 3 star slots

By far the most fun Proof run ive had so far i was just booms EVERYWHERE 🤣😂 Shout out to everyone for embracing the CORN 🌽 and having fun. Ill post my build in the comments for the BIG CORN damage.

been using the switch axe for the whole game and im kinda interested in learning Gunlance, what builds/gear do you suggest for early then late master rank. Preferably for Long/Normal Shelling

90 hours that ive been playing Gunlance and still don't understand a damn thing about "positionning" and "look for the openings". Every viable combo is way too slow to not be punished, i try to watch videos of people doing speedruns and everytime they don't give a single damn about positionning or opening, they just spam multi wyvern stake because the monster decided to be retarded and miss every single attack. For 90 jours its been: "okay he used his big attack lets try to land at least a wide sweep and reposition." Lol get fucked because here comes the one shot attack and Gunlance recovery time is ABSURDLY long and you dont have enough dodge space.

Had to vent this shit is pissing me off.

I made a post about being unable to kill AT Arkveld a few days ago and I finally put some more attempts in today and was able to kill him.

Even though I managed to get the kill, I'm not so happy about my kill time which was 22:30, which I don't think would even have been an A rank.

I'm using the cookie cutter Odo/Soul setup with normal shells and I'm not really sure how to get out more damage. My kill time ended up being really high and that was even from greeding and getting off some lucky WSFB combos and some well timed guard points. I also used focus strike during his vulnerable attacks or whenever a wound would pop to stagger him, as well as used traps and luring pods to keep him contained in the first two rooms.

Even with that it didn't seem to be enough. My only guess is that I wasn't using Wyvern Fire enough times, but besides that I'm not sure what would have made me finish the hunt faster.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

So, I finished World the other day and started playing 4u. I started with longsword but honestly did not really like how it felt. Ive always liked the idea of gunlance, but in world it just felt to slow to me. So any tips on how it works? So far ive kinda just been guarding all of the time, using the guard-jab mostly. I do use the single blast or the full unload when I get the chance, though. Should I be guarding less, or is all the time how I should be using it? Should I be actually using the backstep? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

I use the lance too, but I'm looking for a third weapon; I'm thinking of something lighter, like Sword & Shield, to better round out my weapon pool—what do you guys think?

Any tips or warning? Seems like full burst/burst fire and charge shelling hasn't made an appearance in this game either. I wonder how the combo loop should be

So, the thing is this, i have tried going with draco attack 3, elemental absorption and coalescence and i still can´t beat the damage check of the nova, i just put convert element 3 in the build too so i was wondering if the effects stack properly, or if due to elemental absorption i wont be able to proc coalescence, but if i can then i should have enough draco to pass the damage check... right? (Yes, i WIILL do that fucking damage check with gunlance, don´t tell me to change weapons or farcast)
