Build Merits This set is catered to those who want to stand their ground in the middle of the fight! The Guard skill decreases the stamina cost of blocking by 30% and greatly reduces the impact of blocked attacks at level 4. Offensive Guard, on the other hand, increases attack by 10% at level two after executing a perfect guard. These skills, when paired with the other offensive skills in this set, provide a great blend of offensive and defense which is perfect for the Lance's playstyle.

Evasive Lance

Evasive Lancers tend to stay on the move than their blocking contemporaries. With this in mind, we recommend going for the Hidden Stinger I to optimize damage via Critical Strikes.

Skills

Latent Power Lv. 2 | Evade Window Lv. 1
Build Merits The unsheathed hops drastically improve when using at least two levels of Evade Extender. This grants the Lance an unusual level of mobility. Pairing this with the other offensive skills in this set also provides a good balance of offense and defense—just not in the way you would think when talking about a shielded weapon! If you prefer to max out the Evade Extender skill, consider swapping out the Zinogre Helm with Wroggi Helm instead.

Low Rank Build: Village Quest Rank ★1 to ★4

Critical Guard Build

Kulu Spear II offers great stats across the board, making it the best Lance at the earliest stages of Monster Hunter Rise! You can also improve its affinity by setting Affinity Boost II as its Rampage Skill.

Alternative: Champion Lance

Part of the Update 3.9 rollout. The Champion Lance is a good starter lance. With its superior attack and bonus defense it can help you through early game easily. It may lack the affinity in the onset but the 150 base attack already makes up for that.

Alternative: Milllennial Lance

Milennial Lance also has good stats while falling short in sharpness when compared to Kulu Spear II. It is still a decent alternative due to its relatively cheap crafting materials.
