King’s Guard Lance: The Ultimate Weapon Guide

The King’s Guard Lance got a major upgrade, making it a must-have weapon, especially if you’re not great at taking out many enemies at once.

Now, it’s just as good as top-tier weapons like Greg’s Reversed Fate and Thunder Cage for dealing damage to multiple targets. So, here’s your ultimate weapon guide for building the King’s Guard Lance weapon.

Key Buffs and Changes

1. Increased Pylon Limit: Previously, you could only place one pylon at a time; now, you can have three.
2. Self-Attacking Pylons: Pylons now attack on their own without needing to be shot.
3. Buff Retention: Pylons keep any power-ups you have when you place them.

Core Mechanics

1. Pylon Power: The damage from pylons depends on your weapon’s shooting speed, critical hit chance, critical hit damage, and elemental effects.
2. Faster Firing: Increasing your firing speed makes pylons deal damage more often.
3. Keeping Buffs: This is key. For example, if you have a buff that gives you a 60% better chance to land critical hits, your pylons will keep this buff for their whole life.
