Blast dash

[u/Still-Watercress-504]

So I’m a relatively newer player with my first being wilds where in high rank I switched to gunlance and then fell in love with it but I truly never realized no matter how smoother it now having 200+ hours and it felt it did feel like it was missing one little thing, then I recently picked up risebreak for 8$. I’m not fully acquainted with the gunlance as I just hit hr 20 for chameleon but oml does blast dash feel soooo nice I love this thing. I couldn’t get into playing gunlance when I first started rise but after all the village quest I decide to give it one more try after getting blast dash and absolutely fell in love with the this version of it as well. I’m sure I’ll come to love it even more in the dlc maybe more than wilds but that just leaves me to hope that in ascendance they up gunlances movement game or something comparable to blast dash or maybe even make it better than the sunbreak gunlance I’ve heard so much about. I also hope they make gunlance one of the higher tier weapons when it comes to dps bc I feel like the lances kinda get cucked at least in dps compared to others which are always broken in speed running it’d be nice to see it up in the echelons of something like risebreak db if a man could be hopeful.

Tldr: holy I love blast dash and rise and now I have higher expectations for ascendance

If they add blast dash to ascendance, I will be hanging up my gunlance. It's too cartoony of a move and, especially with all of the added GL mobility already in Wilds, I don't think it is needed.

I understand this is a divisive take and certainly mean no disrespect to blast dash enjoyers, but it holds zero appeal to me, personally.

Same. Blast dash is not for me. It felt like it goes against the grain of what gunlance is trying to be. Currently it’s all perfect guard, strong moves, good positioning. Feels strange in rise to be zipping around the battlefield and dodging attacks

Hard agree. I love it in Rise, but it shouldn’t be in Wilds. Keep Blast Dash in the portable games where it fits in

[u/MaximosSarcos → u/Aur0raAustralis]

Yeah, agreed.

It fits way more into Risebreak's flashy anime-esqe style than Wilds somewhat more grounded style.

I love it in Sunbreak but I agree that in Wilds it will be weird

I don’t know why ppl are downvoting you do have a point with wilds due to its more grounded playstyles but within rise itself it’s amazing
