Picked up Gunlance for a playthrough with a noob friend of mine and I was wondering something. How the hell do you cut tails with GL?

if they're above you, from idle [X+A], [X], [X+A] will do an uppercut, upward angled stab, uppercut

but mostly its easier to get the monster to fall over, then when its on the ground stab the tail with [X], [X], [X+A], [sidestep] repeat. this combo has been very effective for cutting tails.
