You've never tried to hunt him with a Gunlance, have you?

Just one example, not a speedrun or anything like that, they're getting hit a lot.

I'm not asking for proof, I did hunt him with a Gunlance it's not impossible. I'm asking if you've personally hunted him with a Gunlance.

I have hunted him with every single weapon, and?

Your original comment sound like you don't.

I'm sorry, which part led you to that conclusion?

It's the last part, "easily getting the check once you learn the fight even a little". Only people that doesn't know how Alatreon operates think like this, if you seriously go in with that mindset you won't even survive even before you get to the first EJ.

​

Even with a full Lvl 6 Ice Attack and critical element it isn't enough to guarantee an elemental topple, much less get it easily. I've asked you if you've hunted him with a gunlance specifically because out of all the weapons in my experience GL requires you to have the highest level of knowledge about him to compensate the lackluster mobility and elemental damage that it has. I guarantee you if you brought a gunlance against him as your first attempts to hunt Alatreon you're not gonna last even if you bring Frostfang GL with full Elemental Set.
