Just fought AT Rey Dau for the first time and beat him, HOWEVER, is this version made to fuck with the lance? I can't do any of the charged counters or follow ups without eating shit and every attack he does leaves aoe trails that can vary due to the FUCKED up terrain and slopes. I felt like a sitting duck most of the time.

I have a feeling all ATs and future monster are going to be hell for the lance, what weapon should I drop it for? SnS?
