Nice Hunt! The Demon Shot HBG prep is a really good optimization. I forget, in previous games, are demon shot and demondrug the same effect? Or do they stack? I also really liked utilizing the sweep as the window for a focus mode turn to ensure you're always facing the direction you want. The one thing I gotta do more that I liked a lot here too was using the charge option out of block cause it starts with that extra stab before going into the charge. Seems like the best damage if you have a long window out of block and the monster is still in front of you. Its funny, Lance definitely feels the least flashy by a large margin in Wilds, and even stilted and clunky in its movement and ability to turn, but I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of the game, it becomes one of the best weapons given its ability to just plow through almost anything, and the damage seems good too despite the moves not being fancy. Just really consistent good damage. Give us some offensive skills, some offensive guard, and some guard/guard up and Lance might become an under the radar beast of a weapon.
