Why is it Good?

The Datura Stalk has a decent amount of damage and poison attribute. Poison is a great status ailment to use against Master Rank monsters due to their massive HP pool, the Lance also comes with a level 2 decoration slot which you can use for a Guard Up skill against enemies with certain unblockable attacks.

Why is it Good?

The True Fatalis Lance is the highest DPS lance you can possible get for the Lance. It sports the highest damage out of all weapons and its -20% affinity can easily be offset by affinity skills or augmenting the weapon's affinity itself.
