Master the Switch Axe, switching between its modes with ease using this guide.
For one, it hasthree different shelling typesto get used to, some of which reload in different ways.
For another, it’s a fairly slow weapon.
Guard
The Gunlanceis capable of Guarding, much like the Lance is.
Generally, the first combo here is going to be useful in more situations than the second.
For one,Lateral Thrust into Wyrmstake Cannon is going to deal more damageat its ceiling.
The thing to keep in mind with the Gunlance is thatso many different attacks can combine into each other.
Thefirst two attacksare always the same:Lunging Upthrust into Overhead Smash.
After this, you’re going to need to reload both.
Rising Slash
Rising Slash is a fairly simple attack that is anupward thrust with your Gunlance.
On its own, it’s an unimpressive attack that is overshadowed by most other options.
But, you cancombine Rising Slash into either Overhead Smash or a Shelling attack.
Much like the last combo, this makes for a relatively quick way to get to Wyrmstake Full Blast.
This attack deals a huge amount of damage, but it does have avery considerable charge time.
This is best used when a monster is either otherwise occupied, or in some way incapacitated.
Focus Strike: Drake Auger
The Focus Strike for the Gunlance is a particularly strong one.
Master the mighty Long Sword in Monster Hunter Wilds.
