| Build Merits | Since the Free Title Update 3, Gunlances can now reach Lv.8 Shelling with the Shelling Level Boost Augment, making the Gunlance even more viable than before! With this new feature, there is more variety to picking a Gunlance for each Shelling type. Augment the recommended Gunlances above to max shelling level except the Crunchy Cornpopper, which is already at Lv.8 when crafted.
For other Weapon Augmentations, we recommend adding Lv.3 Attack Boost for the Normal and Long Gunlances and Lv.4 Attack Boost for the Wide Gunlance. Powder Mantle provides an even more explosive boost to your burst damage. Activating this skill is easy with the infinite burst combo! We focused on maxing out the Attack Boost skill, as the explosive damage from Powder Mantle scales with your raw attack value. Sneak Attack is a unique skill for the Gunlance as it provides a 20% boost to all your attacks, including shelling and Wyvern's Fire, provided you hit the monster from its back half. This becomes more valuable in multiplayer as you'll have more chances to stay behind the monster. This build focuses on shelling damage but skills that affect your melee damage are also added to accomodate different playstyles. With Mail of Hellfire equipped, make sure to stay on the Red Swap Scroll for an increase in raw attack. However, keep your guard up; this will also lower your defense values! This build assumes that no Armor Augmentations have been made. |
