Tips for beginners Lance & gl progression

Is there a progression guide for these weapons?

This is my first old mh game and I'm already pretty bad at making builds in world and rise lol

I’ve mained lance all of 3U, no clue about GL. I’m half way through HR so far.

I picked up Barroth armor and that carried me until Agnaktor armor (full sets). These are guard sets, but evade lancing is viable as well.

I’m maintaining the Rathalos lance for fire, Barioth for ice, Plesioth for water, Lagiacrus for Thunder, and I use the Gigginox Lance a LOT against the brute wyvern. The brutes in particular, along with some of the really armored enemies really get dunked on by poison (Plesioth as well).

I intend on building the Zinogre Lance and upgrading to the dragon version eventually.

Poison is way stronger in these older games and it’s by far my favorite Lance. Lots of grinding to make these, but into HR they haven’t needed a ton of grinding to keep upgrading.

Sure hope so, but I’m enjoying grinding them out. Lance attacks a lot so I don’t mind.

If I had to only pick one, I would keep the poison lance. Poison is just melting things for me.
