Wyrmstake Cannon is another ability that you have when using a Gunlance. This is usually the optimal way to reload during combat.

The earliest you can get Long Shelling is by forging a Bone Gunlance, and the earliest you can get Wide Shelling is by upgrading a Bone Gunlance into a Lagomberator (which requires Lagombi materials). The Gunlance you begin the game with, the Kamura Gunlance, has Normal Shelling. Once you get used to one type, it can be hard to undo the muscle memory when switching to another. We recommend trying out all three types of Shelling and picking the one that works for you. The Overhead Smash part of this combo can be followed up with a strong Shelling attack called Burst Fire if you hit A/B instead of X/Y on the third attack.These will execute an Overhead Smash and a Wide Sweep, respectively. It's a Rising Slash attack that can be chained into a strong combo with up to two follow-up X/Y attacks. X/Y + A/B lets you pull off some flashier moves.This is functionally identical to the Lance's X/Y attack, and you can chain it up to three times. X/Y is your basic Lateral Thrusting attack.This is a very useful tool to have, as guarding is one of the most efficient and simplest ways to avoid taking damage reliably.Īs a basic primer, let's take a look at your basic moves: It's not a long-range gun - you're looking for the Bowguns in that case - but it does let you fire off explosive shells that you can weave into your attack patterns. The first is the lance part - you have a collection of thrusting and sweeping attacks that give you a surprising amount of range, which helps offset how slow you are when wielding such a huge weapon.Its right arm can inflict Fireblight and its left arm can inflict Waterblight.There are three elements that you should be aware of when it comes to picking up a Gunlance for the first time. When enraged, it wields fire and water at the same time. It can promote plant growth with its unique sap-like fluids, which can also be used to harden the plants and soil even on its own body.

Garangolm is a new Fanged Beast whose inspiration is more nebulous, but it may be inspired by Frankenstein's monsters, golems, or gargoyles. True to its werewolf inspiration, Lunagaron can enter a form in which it stands on its hind legs. It wields ice and can armor itself with it. Lunagaron is a new Fanged Wyvern that resembles a wolf, inspired by a werewolf. However, "when the hunter attacks a monster in this state, they will regain health proportionate to the amount of damage dealt," according to Capcom's official website. It can inflict Bloodblight, a new status effect, which drains a hunter's health while limiting their recovery. Malzeno is a new bat-like, vampire-inspired Elder Dragon. The three we know of are known as the Three Lords, which threaten the land Sunbreak takes place in. Though every monster above is new to Monster Hunter Rise, there are brand-new monsters in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
