Monster Hunter Rise – Best Lance Builds

Monster Hunter Rise transports players to Kamura Village, where they must defend their birthplace from all manner of rampaging monsters. Players that enjoy being in the thick of a fight will gravitate toward the lance. With its large defensive shield and long-range, it's a fantastic weapon for trading blows with any behemoth.

High Rank Lance Build

Attack, attack again and attack some more. That's the name of the game with this build. Guard and Offensive Guard work in tandem to allow the player to trade blows with the monster. The full Valstrax set pairs beautifully with the Tigrex Lance to buff its already impressive base damage. With Speed Sharpening to keep that lance nice and sharp, High Rank monsters are in for a world of hurt.
