The shell types differ in damage, ammo capacity, area of effect, and have different shelling bonuses.

Shells also cannot be fired in red Sharpness.Įach Gunlance possess one of three different types of shells - Normal, Long, and Wide. If Sharpness is below green (yellow and below), shelling damage is significantly reduced. However, every shell consumes twice the amount of Sharpness compared to normal attacks. Shelling is unique in that it can deal fixed damage to a monster's parts regardless of their defense. Lastly, the Gunlance's basic block is tied with the Lance for the strongest in the game, however it lacks the same special defensive moves which makes it slightly weaker in that regard. Using Wyvern's Fire will cause the lance to over heat and it can not be fired again until it has cooled down. Normal shots will not cause overheating, but they will chew through Sharpness and must be reloaded every few shots. The Gunlance can also charge up to unleash a massive explosion called Wyvern's Fire. Instead of a charging ability like the Lance, the Gunlance can fire off shotgun blasts. While not truly a ranged attack, these rounds deal True Damage, ignoring the toughness of the Monster and allowing damage to be dealt to parts that otherwise couldn't be touched. Its basic attacks are a mix of stabs, sweeps and slams. Much like its cousin, the Lance, the Gunlance is a bastion of defense while having impressive range and damage.
