Monster Hunter Rise – Best Lance Builds

You have been weighed, measured, and found wanting.

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.
