Quematrice Lanza I for Early Stages

Weapon		Sharpness
Quematrice Lanza I
Attack	Element	Affinity	Defense
230	Fire 100	5%	0

Quematrice Lanza I is our recommendation for the best early game lance. This Lance has the important Guard skill which reduces knockback effects and stamina consumption, which then allows the Hunter to fight more consistently.

Quematrice Lanza II for Chapter 2

Weapon		Sharpness
Quematrice Lanza II
Attack	Element	Affinity	Defense
322	Fire 120	5%	0

Once you reach the Oilwell Basin, upgrade your previous lace to a Quematrice Lanza II. This Lance has a better Guard skill, and is easy to craft since all it needs is some ore from Oilwell Basin. This Lance can even be used for some hunts in Chapter 3.

Windpierce Lance I for Fire Resistant Monsters

Weapon		Sharpness
Windpierce Lance I
Attack	Element	Affinity	Defense
322	Ice 150	0%	0

Towards the end of Chapter 2, you will face off against against a Nu Udra, which is a monster that is resistant to the fire element. If you find that your Quematrice Lanza II is lacking in damage, craft a Windpierce Lance I, which is another Lance that also has Guard Lv2 as well as the Ice element.

Quematrice Lanza III for High Rank

Weapon		Sharpness
Quematrice Lanza III
Attack	Element	Affinity	Defense
391	Fire 150	5%	0

The recommended Lance for your first High Rank quests is the Quematrice Lanza III. In addition to having Guard Lv2, it also has a good amount of Fire damage, which is useful even against the first fight in Chapter 5 against a Jin Dahaad.

Windpierce Lance II for Alt. Weapon

Weapon		Sharpness
Windpierce Lance II
Attack	Element	Affinity	Defense
391	Ice 190	0%	0

Prepare a Windpierce Lance II for other High Rank monsters with high fire resistances. Having this Lance at the ready will allow you to farm more materials and decorations more efficiently.

Windpierce Lance III for Chapters 5 and 6

Weapon		Sharpness
Windpierce Lance III
Attack	Element	Affinity	Defense
460	Ice 220	0%	0
Equipment Skills	GuardLv3 AirborneLv1

Defeating the High Rank Jin Dahaad in Chapter 5 will yield materials that allow you to craft Windpierce Lance III. Along with Guard Lv3, it also has White sharpness and the Ice element, which will be useful against the High Rank Rey Dau that you will face later on.

Upgrade to Windpierce Tsukibami When Available

Weapon		Sharpness
Windpierce Tsukibami
Attack	Element	Affinity	Defense
506	Ice 250	0%	0
Equipment Skills	GuardLv3 AirborneLv1

Clearing the Jin Dahaad Optional Quest will potentially yield upgrade materials for Windpierce Tsukibami. This enhanced form boasts even better stats when compared to its previous iteration.

Best Armors for Lance

4 Piece Doshaguma for Early Game

During the earlier stages of Monster Hunter Wilds, equipping 4 pieces of the Doshaguma armor set is recommended for its Set Bonus, Doshaguma's Might II. Doshaguma's Might II is a skill that increases attacks after a power clash, which is easy to do with a guarding weapon such as the Lance. The final piece of the armor can be anything you choose!

Ajarakan Off-Piece

Ajarakan's Head, Torso, and Leg armors grant points of the Partbreaker skill, which increases the damage of focus strikes. You could even mix and match with 2 pieces of Doshaguma and 3 pieces of Ajarakan to acquire Powerhouse I and Partbreaker III respectively.

Equip Hope Charm if Available

The Hope Charm that you receive as an early bonus increases both Attack and Defense, making it a very good early game choice. If you happen to have this talisman, make sure to equip it.

G. Ebony Armor for Chapter 3

In Chapter 3, we recommend crafting the G. Ebony armor set from the Guardian Ebony Odogaron subspecies. Since the Lance's move set consists of quick jabs with the weapon, it can reliably trigger the attack bonuses from the Burst skill.

Craft Doshaguma α in Chapter 4

Once you've entered High Rank, monsters will start to hit you for a lot more damage. At this stage, we recommend crafting the upgraded Alpha variant of the Doshaguma set for the increase in protection and access to Doshaguma's Might.

G. Ebony Alpha is for Chapter 5

During Chapter 5, we recommend crafting the G. Ebony Alpha armor for the Burst Lv5 skill. Progressing the story past this point requires raising your HR to 40. In the process of grinding through quests to increase your HR, collect materials to craft this armor.
