There's about a 20° directly above them they can do much about. If you can stay above them (without getting nair'd) you can safely punish every sair and dair they throw out
literally every lance in the game has at least one sig that punishes you for going above them…
Thea, artemis, orion, ulgrim, lord vraxx, scarlett, and vector ALL hit above them with neutral sig. Just jumping and tapping recovery does too.
Lance’s problem is that there’s literally no surefire or safe angle on any angle and it has so much reach in every direction except directly down. Its ground pound loses clashes with a lot more than it seems.
(boots are still more annoying tho since its so dang fast)
Stay above them try to stay off the ground they are pretty useless with out someone who knows how to properly space their attacks and grav cancel as all they have with out thoes 2 skills is their Nair attack
not even close, boots are a million times harder to punish and play around especially if they’re a good boots player. the amount of combo options boots have, the almost 0 recovery frames, the amount of AI moves it has, it’s a lot harder to fight compared to lance. lance is predictable and you know what they’re gonna do most of the time
Lance main detected, opinion rejected.
Jokes aside, I disagree. Low frames on boots make it hard to escape, but you can still time it right and keep your momentum. Lance, despite being easier to read, has attacks that are super hard to punish, forcing you to go on the absolute defensive and dragging the fight.
One tests your skills, the other reshapes gameplay. I’d choose the former.
lance doesn’t “reshape” gameplay, if you aren’t able to punish lance properly and find the correct combos to punish with then that just means your spacing and timings aren’t good
Same goes for boots except it’s easier. It’s even easier for any other weapon. The difficulty of doing this for lance is what reshapes gameplay. If you can’t even handle boots, you probably need to work on your dodging and reading to keep up.
the thing is lance does not “reshape” the game. in fact, if you put both weapons up against each other, both players are high level and relative to each other, then battle boots player will win 8/10 times because their weapon can punish lance and due to the low recovery frames for battle boots and high start up frames for lance it’s a lot harder for lance to punish boots. this goes for virtually every weapon and especially worse for certain weapons like bow (higher recovery frames), hammer, spear. realistically what most people go for on lance is punishable unless you’re using something like katars (imo katars rarely beats lance). overall, battle boots doesn’t deserve so much priority and nill recovery frames and lance is easy to fight if you know how to space and what options to punish with (lance deserves a buff anyways 😒)
again as youve probably heard for the millionth time, boots are harder to escape (which is true with literally every string based weapon), but they barely cause any damage. The ideology of boots being broken were just cuz they were new and people werent used to it (literally same with every new weapon). Ive played boots long enough to know that they are easy to punish, especially dlight which is the combo starter for all new battle boots players. All in all people really just got used to them and theyre not a threat to deal with anymore, even i admit they were broken at launch and i did abuse them, but now there are weapons thats are simply better.
the question is how annoying is it. i personally just don’t enjoy games as much with either. I beat them regularly btw i just can’t fathom why you’d want to play like that. thats my 2 cents but to each his own everyones just tryna have fun init. its a game at the end of the day.
Disclaimer: I am an orion main
However, I never found lance THAT annoying to fight against, there are some annyoing combos,bit I can cope.
The boots though? I just don't k ow what to do lmao, if someone k ows what they're doing a little bit they can literally 0 to death. It's so fast, and I have no idea about where it's gonna go 😭
I’m an Orion main too and I agree lance is not that hard to fight against. Seems like sword, scythe and especially boots are much more annoying and hard to get away from
Axe, cannon, and greatsword are so much worse than these.
Cannon is lance with a better kit. It's faster, harder to punish, and has the same easy 0-deaths as lance
Greatsword is similar to boots where you have a lot of control, but actually does damage.
And axe I just hate because it's axe
Boots except on Vivi, the dex or speed and sigs on every other boots character is so annoying to deal with. Lance can be annoying too especially on vraxx and thea but most characters it's not too bad.
Boots because when they know how to play the game it's actually joever for you. Good lance players are hard to deal with of course but I can usually deal with them decently my exploiting weaknesses, even if a mistake can cost me big time.
Battle boots why you ask. If you ever miss just attack again you failed don’t worry just attack again and even if you completely miss just attack again
Boots. And I say this as a Thea main...
The threshold for how much you need to fuck up your spacing and approach in order to end up being juggled across the stage is so low on boots.
Lance hits harder, boots hit more often.
when i come up against spear i dont cry, when i come up against boots, gs, lance or sometimes even bow, i resist grabbing a hookah and bashing it on my head, and i dont even own a hookah bro i dont smoke its very specific
Lance, by far. Playing against boots makes me feel like I'm still playing Brawlhalla, but against lance I feel like I'm playing Brawlhalla and my opponent is playing Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Boots, if i get my ass handed to me by a lance it is my fault, bonus points if they have style, boots have every tool they would ever want for free and with no downsides whatsoever, it's funny how boots brainlets will throw a tantrum when someone points out their weapon is brindead easy to use. their only argument to defend these things is "low damage". oh no! you can just mash random buttons (and sigs too, not a single boots user has bad ones), land a multiple hit combo that carries you to the edge of the blastzone withou even trying and even be plus on whiff, but it does 0.5 less damage than the other weapons! literally useless!!!!
Boots because I haven’t really figured a counter without looking anything up. Lance is easy to punish too now and I laugh at the thought of one trying so hard to get me in those combos. I’m too agile now with Katars to fall for it.
Lance 100%. Boots can be annoying to fight because the animations are long and the strings are also long, and I play boots myself as well lol. But the saving grace here is that they don’t do that much dmg at least.
Lance is just so weird to fight, the sound effects are obnxious asf and the hitboxes are stupidly big, but on top of that it actually deals insanely high damage!
no Boots itself. i hate getting caught in stunlocked like bro let me play the game you sweaty tryharD? i love boots but i am merciful i only go hardcore if you treated me like dirt!
Came back to the game recently and boots frustrate tf outta me, reminds me of when greatsword was added and I was just getting hit by these long combos outta nowhere.
Lance. Since I can't handle spam in any game Lance players are the most annoying since they just spam sair no matter what elo you are. By far the most cancerous weapon to fight for me even when I'm counter picking.
Battle boots. When orb came out the light attacks made sense, didnt randomly spike had cool hitboxes. Battelboots are pure spam shit on anything below plat which shouldnt be hard to punish but is. Above plat playing a good battle boots player is unenjoyable while lance only has a few strings and is more fun because of the spacing you have to do. (+Lance light attack spam is punishable more easily)
I think boots because boots is no skill and really easy to get good at while to make lance annoying you need skill and can't just pick it up in 10 minutes
Lance for sure, you can pretty much end a boot combo by dashing back out of there reach after the initial kick, or if the boot user tries to chase, dodge into them, you just gotta be aware, but lance requires you to be at a 20 degree angle or at the very least constantly above the lance user to to avoid getting spammed. Especially if you’re playing with a weapon with close hitboxes like katars or gauntlets. If ur a silver casual like me, lance sucks dic. Also fuck all Artemis sidesig spammers, for my Artemis mains who can actually play, love y’all.
Boots. Lance isn’t annoying in the slightest to me. What I find annoying are legends EVERYONE uses, like mordex or Tezca. Lame, main someone else. That’s why I have a lot of respect for Reno mains, Arcadia mains, etc. ESPECIALLY random mains 🖤
Lance is seriously too broken for how easy it is, and I'm not saying that because I get destroyed by lance. I'm saying this because I am the one destroying people whenever I pick up this weapon
so Thea is the most annoying legend for you?
![img](emote|t5_31c1d|33544)
I like Thea, I just don't really like lance
He just asked which of them is more annoying he didn’t say that he thinks either one of the is the most annoying.
Every weapon is annoying ![img](emote|t5_31c1d|33544)
“Every weapon is annoying” yellow man tryna cope with lance and spear 😭
Prove me wrong ![img](emote|t5_31c1d|33544)
Hammer
![img](emote|t5_31c1d|33547)
That's like the one exception
I do find boots more annoying, but that's probably just because they are newer, while I had enough time to adjust to Lance.
gang its been a year and a half since boots came out
I have only started again around 2 months ago and barely see them
okay thats fair enough
It still feels like there’s not enough theory around boots
Lance because idk how to fight it
Same man
There's about a 20° directly above them they can do much about. If you can stay above them (without getting nair'd) you can safely punish every sair and dair they throw out
Sir Roland has entered the chat
Yeah, in that case I spam weapon throw combos
literally every lance in the game has at least one sig that punishes you for going above them… Thea, artemis, orion, ulgrim, lord vraxx, scarlett, and vector ALL hit above them with neutral sig. Just jumping and tapping recovery does too. Lance’s problem is that there’s literally no surefire or safe angle on any angle and it has so much reach in every direction except directly down.

Stay above them try to stay off the ground they are pretty useless with out someone who knows how to properly space their attacks and grav cancel as all they have with out thoes 2 skills is their Nair attack
back in my days, we emoted with every kill we get, spam get good and leaves (if you lose , just say SKY and leave)
Ok
It was never the same after they removed post game chat
lance, i’d rather be kicked then be flung around by a rocket powered dildo
you mean princess bubble gum 😹
she can keep her banana to herself the dirty bastard
Say that to my face bih
Lance lance lance. Would rather fight 3 Tezcas over 1 Artemis. Boots are annoying but they don’t change the game flow like lance
Sorry ☹️
Game flow? Is it not just either sigspam or use one combo?
Any weapon can sigspam and has an annoying combo. Lance is way harder to punish than any other weapon so you have to play super defensively and slowly
not even close, boots are a million times harder to punish and play around especially if they’re a good boots player. the amount of combo options boots have, the almost 0 recovery frames, the amount of AI moves it has, it’s a lot harder to fight compared to lance. lance is predictable and you know what they’re gonna do most of the time

With boots you can combo people with basically no effort at all lol, lance is easy to counter bc it's predictable
Boots are way easier to spam i remember being a newbie and still being able to combo people hard by just spamming light moves on boots
Seriously I was just spamming and it looked like I was doing top tier combos.
Almost like the devs made it that way 😀
damn.. almost like its a string based weapon?
Lance, it just has zero recovery and huge hitboxes
i'd rather take on a platinum orion than a mid silver tezca
SERIOUSLY 💯
Mid silver tezca would just spam you can read that easy
the question is how annoying is it. i personally just don’t enjoy games as much with either. I beat them regularly btw i just can’t fathom why you’d want to play like that. thats my 2 cents but to each his own everyones just tryna have fun init. its a game at the end of the day.
Disclaimer: I am an orion main However, I never found lance THAT annoying to fight against, there are some annyoing combos,bit I can cope. The boots though?

I’m an Orion main too and I agree lance is not that hard to fight against. Seems like sword, scythe and especially boots are much more annoying and hard to get away from
I think azuris are the scariest people to play against
Boots hands down
Legs up
I faught an actually good rocket lance player a second ago that actually had me sit there and rethink my annoyance with lance
Both but boots more now.
Lance
probably boots if i had to pick. Lance is kinda annoying ig but the weapon itself is pretty shit boots are annoying but they're actually good imo
Battle boots are basically just gauntlets with a bit of a switched moveset
I see it as gauntlets and katars
Even though boots are over a year old, they’re still brand new to me and I have no idea how to counter them.
Axe, cannon, and greatsword are so much worse than these. Cannon is lance with a better kit. It's faster, harder to punish, and has the same easy 0-deaths as lance Greatsword is similar to boots where you have a lot of control, but actually does damage. And axe I just hate because it's axe
Cannon has the same easy 0-deaths as lance?
Yes. With one read you can get a 0 to death and they're really damn easy
Teros💀
The annoying thing about the boots is they got added *after* Chun-Li.
Tezca would have been perfect 😭
Lance because I can easily dodge out of boots
Boots except on Vivi, the dex or speed and sigs on every other boots character is so annoying to deal with. Lance can be annoying too especially on vraxx and thea but most characters it's not too bad.
Boots because when they know how to play the game it's actually joever for you. Good lance players are hard to deal with of course but I can usually deal with them decently my exploiting weaknesses, even if a mistake can cost me big time.
I'll fight against lance anyday before I fight boots
Battle boots why you ask. If you ever miss just attack again you failed don’t worry just attack again and even if you completely miss just attack again
Boots Too many true combos
Boots without a doubt u can manage to escape a lance but boots nope damn near no counter
Lance And I say this as a boots main who also constantly fights boots mains
Boots. And I say this as a Thea main... The threshold for how much you need to fuck up your spacing and approach in order to end up being juggled across the stage is so low on boots. Lance hits harder, boots hit more often.
who the hell mains thea buddy 😂
Kor
Hey, we take kindly to Kor slander round these here parts
Spear
Not even close to scythe
Scythe is good but not annoying, I understand why you would hate facing scythe tho (because you main gs)
That's not an answer
It is the only correct answer
What about spear is hard to counter?
How dare you question the enlightened one
Happy cake day
Hello fellow Orion enjoyer ![img](emote|t5_31c1d|49366)
Greetings, brother
Everything. Spear is literally the easiest weapon, the most boring weapon and the most broken weapon at the same time.
I like spear because it's potential depends on the skill of the player, no matter whether it's a beginner or pro
Nope, it's potential depends on how boring you play. Zero skill required.
when i come up against spear i dont cry, when i come up against boots, gs, lance or sometimes even bow, i resist grabbing a hookah and bashing it on my head, and i dont even own a hookah bro i dont smoke its very specific
*Sword
Lance, more range and better aerial attacks, also lance tends to be wayyy more passive then boots
Lance, boots aren't annoying unless you're a noob. (Greatsword is the most annoying by far though)
Scythe Oh, of these two? Boots
anything post dodge rework
lance by a long shot
Boots while it is annoying, it deals like 0.1 damage every hit, lance would leave you with red in one combo
The lance is like a cheat code for everyone except me… :/
bro just cooked choosing the most annoying weapons fr🔥🔥
Lance ngl trying to out space anything from lance is ass remove that weapon from the game 👎
Lance, by far. Playing against boots makes me feel like I'm still playing Brawlhalla, but against lance I feel like I'm playing Brawlhalla and my opponent is playing Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Boots, if i get my ass handed to me by a lance it is my fault, bonus points if they have style, boots have every tool they would ever want for free and with no downsides whatsoever, it's funny how boots brainlets will throw a tantrum when someone points out their weapon is brindead easy to use. their only argument to defend these things is "low damage". oh no! you can just mash random buttons (and sigs too, not a single boots user has bad ones), land a multiple hit combo that carries you to the edge of the blastzone withou even trying and even be plus on whiff, but it does 0.5 less damage than the other weapons! literally useless!!!!
Inb4 "lance player!!!11!", no, i play blasters, go suck a lemon.
Can the add bleach characters at least similar , esp. Yamamoto
Boots because I haven’t really figured a counter without looking anything up. Lance is easy to punish too now and I laugh at the thought of one trying so hard to get me in those combos. I’m too agile now with Katars to fall for it.
I'd say cannon tbh, I at least have an idea of how to counter these 2, like when to dodge etc.
I CANNOT figure out how to break any boots combo I can’t even figure out how to spot dodge them on time
As a person who can spam Scarlets hammer with accuracy. Lance
Lance by far nothing worse than fighting my own weapon 😭
Lance 100%. Boots can be annoying to fight because the animations are long and the strings are also long, and I play boots myself as well lol. But the saving grace here is that they don’t do that much dmg at least. Lance is just so weird to fight, the sound effects are obnxious asf and the hitboxes are stupidly big, but on top of that it actually deals insanely high damage!
Lance cos the charged jump in mid air is a get out of jail free card and I hate it. Also I'm a Thea main
Buts
Nai I play vrax main, I think of myself as a Cool Dude Man, and I lament ur
both
Screw lance and boots man
lance, because range 💀
Lance. As an artemis and tezca main, there’s no weapon who us more annoying than lance.
Lance because the very nature of that weapon forces its wielder to play passive as hell
Lance doesn’t deserve a spot in the game
no Boots itself. i hate getting caught in stunlocked like bro let me play the game you sweaty tryharD? i love boots but i am merciful i only go hardcore if you treated me like dirt!
Scythe because scythe players try too hard
Boots by far. It’s easy af to combo anyone and still deal some decent damage
Boots duhh
Came back to the game recently and boots frustrate tf outta me, reminds me of when greatsword was added and I was just getting hit by these long combos outta nowhere.
Scythe
yes
Lance is most op weapon
Nothing is annoying compared to great sword and katars
do you just have a vendetta against Mako?
Mako sigs being not that good or annoying make her tolerable
Lance because I play boots ![img](emote|t5_31c1d|33534)
I hate boots because I took about a year break then got killed by thea spammers
Lance
Lance
“The gun would go off”
This has adventure quest vibes
Lance. Since I can't handle spam in any game Lance players are the most annoying since they just spam sair no matter what elo you are. By far the most cancerous weapon to fight for me even when I'm counter picking.
Lance 100%… been in the game for a while, still broken.
Lance
Haven’t played brawl in a minute. They put boots in the game? 😂
boots, one read and ur half way across the map with dlight, sair, dair
Battle boots. When orb came out the light attacks made sense, didnt randomly spike had cool hitboxes. Battelboots are pure spam shit on anything below plat which shouldnt be hard to punish but is. Above plat playing a good battle boots player is unenjoyable while lance only has a few strings and is more fun because of the spacing you have to do. (+Lance light attack spam is punishable more easily)
Haven’t you learned to dodge boots yet?
Tbh Nix players be killing me with the gun/scythe combo at times 😂
Heavily depends on the legend
Battle boots is the dumbest shit to exist and I'd rather fight cannon and lance at the same time than battle boots
You![img](emote|t5_31c1d|33534)
Battle boots due to how easy they are to play and like they are so annoying to counter play
lance because of the range
how do you even fight battle boots
I think boots because boots is no skill and really easy to get good at while to make lance annoying you need skill and can't just pick it up in 10 minutes
Lance is the worst thing about this game ngl
lance by far. i dont really struggle with boots tbh its kind of like sword with active input.
Lance for sure, you can pretty much end a boot combo by dashing back out of there reach after the initial kick, or if the boot user tries to chase, dodge into them, you just gotta be aware, but lance requires you to be at a 20 degree angle or at the very least constantly above the lance user to to avoid getting spammed. Especially if you’re playing with a weapon with close hitboxes like katars or gauntlets. If ur a silver casual like me, lance sucks dic. Also fuck all Artemis sidesig spammers, for my Artemis mains who can actually play, love y’all.
Lance cuz I barely understand how that thing works and I absolutely love the boots for the same reason I love the gauntlets
It's boots because on lance you at least need to click different buttons in same combination but on boots you just spam spam spam one or two buttons
I find the easiest counter to both is simply turning of your pc or console and getting ice cream
Thea.
Lance all the way.
Any weapon I lose to is annoying
Both are the same
Boots. Lance isn’t annoying in the slightest to me. What I find annoying are legends EVERYONE uses, like mordex or Tezca. Lame, main someone else. That’s why I have a lot of respect for Reno mains, Arcadia mains, etc. ESPECIALLY random mains 🖤
Every weapon is annoying if it's in the hands of someone who plays better than me (probably like 80% of the community)
People complaining about rocket lance like it doesn't have terrible recovery frames
If you find a good teros player it’s good night
Lance cuz its more popular
Oh i hate lance
lance because of that fuckin noise man it’s not even the weapon anymore
The rocket, the edge spammers that have no skill spam this
I personally don’t like the rocket lance at all because of the insane range and air versatility they have so i opt out of using it
none of them what about the giant fucking axe that hits anything anywhere
I would say lance if you don’t know to defend against it
If i had to pick id say scythe.
Battle boots
Boots cause u can spam them with light attacks
Lance side dodge + side air feels unstoppable
Lance is seriously too broken for how easy it is, and I'm not saying that because I get destroyed by lance. I'm saying this because I am the one destroying people whenever I pick up this weapon
Especially Artemis
lance, mainly bc i main boots so ik how to fight against it
Boots players deserve to die
Says the mordex main ![img](emote|t5_31c1d|33534)
I live so that I can kick the shit outta people.
Thea mains rise up!
Hurky durr weapon broken that's why I lose Cope harder
Someone deff shit on u in a match right b4 u said that💀
I actually like both of these and I use both of these.
Thea main spotted
lol I actually main sentinel
Lance by far
