Combat Tips for Lance
#
- Offensive Guard: This is your most valuable skill; it rewards perfectly timed blocks with a temporary attack buff.
- Dash Attack: Use the Special Skill Dash Attack to close distance or deal rapid hits to a monster.
- Guard Skill: Equipping points in Guard reduces the impact and chip damage from blocked hits, allowing you to counter-attack more quickly.
- Mobility: Since mobility is a weakness, consider Evade Extender to increase dodge range and reposition faster.
