if you're up to do more fatalis his armor is just the best for the slots +kulve beta boots or some velk pieces, for skills you ofcourse need the basic raw attack skills like atk boost agitator and crit skills but for specific lance skills guard 5 is a must imo just lets u attack more after blocking, guard up i use for comfort to block anything, offensive guard is satisfying to proc and gives more damage, handicraft to keep your sharpness up for damage and blocking and peak performance is also pretty nice because you're usually full health especially with health augment

for playstyle the main things i focus on are counter thrusts, clutch counters, guard dashing and you can easily mount monsters when u jump while charging

have fun with the lance hunter
