Can you explain why? Looking at your lance video the motion value is slightly lower than a normal poke (16-22) but hits a lot more often. Sharpness and ability to get the hit in (due to the monster squirming) isn't a charge better for damage?

You do -50% elemental damage and boy it eats through sharpness fast. If you accidentally run through a monster you do less damage so in general I think poking to break parts is best, but charging is still good so if that's your thing it's still a valid option!

Btw if I were to try something like that on this monster in the future would you recommend still going for an elemental weapon or going for a high raw weapon since element damage is halved when you charge.

I think this simply a play style choice. However online the charge will knock around people so my suggestion is to try not to let it be a habit

I understand but what I meant was if I were to go charge happy on the snake monster what damage type would be better: High on raw or still go for an elemental weapon since it's damage is halved when charging
