Weapon description

1. A Lance is very similar to a Gunlance. Just like with that weapon, here, you have to rely on your weapon's reach, thrusts and shield that can protect you from enemy attacks.
2. This weapon can make you a king of defense. You won't be mobile but your shield is enough. You can choose from a few different types of blocks and the strongest one can protect you even from the most powerful enemy attacks. Also, you can use your Lance and hide behind a shield all at the same time.
3. Forward charge is also rather useful - use it for 3 seconds and your character will gain a lot of speed. This is a perfect attack that can be used on an escaping enemy or you can use it to run away from danger.
4. While using this weapon you will mostly jump to sides or forward/backward. A Lance mechanic is rather fluid - perform thrusts -> dodge an attack -> attack -> use more dodges and repeat. In theory, this may sound boring but using dodges in the right way can be really satisfying.

For whom is this weapon?

1. This weapon is perfect for those players who want to create a Medieval knight. You can use a long lance, charge at enemies and dodge a lot of attacks.
2. Blocking mechanic is rather simple and countering an attack will let you survive even the most dangerous situations. A skillful Lance player is rarely knocked down.
3. Combos and thrusts are easy to learn. This is one of the weapons that doesn't require a lot of time to learn how to use it. Attacks are simple and your tactic stays, more or less, the same.
4. This is a good weapon for solo players. You have a lot of defensive options and rather good offensive capabilities. In multiplayer, a character with this weapon can become a great tank who will attract a monster's attention.

Conclusion: A weapon with a lot of defensive capabilities that offers a fun gameplay. Once you learn how to counter and dodge attacks, you will be able to defeat every foe.

Useful combos

1. A basic combo that lets you strike an enemy with a few Lance thrusts.

2. This combo lets you get closer to an enemy while protecting yourself with a shield.

3. An endless thrusting combo.
