Lance
The Lance is an Arrancar heavy polearm in VV: Ultimatum with Extremely Long range, 17 damage and the highest documented posture damage at 18 - balanced by Extremely Slow attacks and a 10-second riposte-capable critical.
The Lance takes the Spear's reach philosophy and weaponizes it at heavy scale. Its attack range is Extremely Long - tied for the longest documented - and it pairs 17 damage with 18 posture damage, the highest posture value on the documented weapon roster (shared with the Club). Its stun on hit is also Extremely Long, so a connected thrust practically hands you the next move.
It pays with the slowest documented handling in the game: Extremely Slow attack speed and Very Long attack duration mean each thrust is a full commitment that opponents can read and punish. The critical is riposte-capable but recharges every 10 seconds - the longest documented critical cooldown - so a wasted riposte hurts more here than on any other weapon.
The weapon is tagged 'A' in community documentation, indicating Arrancar availability, with an Arrancar skin captured. The intended playstyle is patient and surgical: control space with superior reach, guard-crush with 18 posture damage per landed thrust, and never throw an attack you have not confirmed.
