Created by rawrness13 on Aug 31st 2017 (Last Updated: Sep 6th 2017).

This is a public build.

1.This build focuses on high attack damage by mashing a lot of buttons.
2.This build can go toe-to-toe when you enter dungeon as boss hunter.
3.This build need a lot of patience and effort because Cataphract AOE skills a bit balanced after "Summer Balance Patch".
4.This build is DPS style by continuous do damage on single target and AOE.
5.This build is great in PVP but with less speed as “The Rohirrim” or “Dragoon Overlord” builds.
6. This build is less reliable in Earth Tower compared to "The Rohirrim" or "Dragoon Overlord"



First of all , This class build for both PVP and PVE with many skill to encounter the different situations. The Hoplite and the Cataphract attack skills mostly would be for grinding and doing support DPS. Buffs from Swordsman C2 and Hoplite C3 ensures a boost in critical rate & damage. The Dragoon & Lancer attack skills will provide necessary damage for PVP to skewer the enemy!

Suggested Card:


Suggested card would be Glass Mole Card. Each will give you +10% additional damage when using SP potion and this build will deal a whole lot of burst damage with Glass Mole Cards. Bring small sp potion for that extra burst in damage. :3

You may also opt for Blut card for that extra +CON.

If you are having problems with Magic user classes then of course you may use Nuaele card for that boost in MDEF.

Here we shall learn the jousting prowess of a Lancer! Remember these basics and you'll be feared in the battlefield.

Things to remember:
1. Your primary weapon is a two handed spear. The option of bringing a single handed spear and a shield is optional.

2. Maintain your buffs! This will ensure you'll survive long enough to keep your enemies screaming.

3. Bring the necessary mount for battle: (Sample mounts presented below)
a. Battlebird - gives you hp/sp recovery buff (2 weapon slots, 2 armor slots);
b. Pengu/Penguin (not the Leaf Pengu) - gives you +50 physical def and +50 magic defense (2 weapon slots, 2 armor slots);
c. Guinea Pig - gives you +STR when mounted

4. Bring enough level 15 HP/SP potions and/or Elixirs in case you need them.

5. You might be a tank killer but do not attack them first. Priority for Lancer is to kill threats such as DPS Mages or full support Clerics.

6. You can turn off knockdown effect to do more combo.

7. You may take advantage of knockdown effect to destroy formations.

Lancer Battle Tactics
1. Basic combo:
Aggressive Stance 1 (Against DPS Mages or Support Clerics):
Impaler > Joust > Spear Lunge > Crush > Quintain > Crush > Quintain > Spear Lunge > Stabbing > Impaler

Aggressive Stance 2 (Against DPS On-foot Swordsman):
Impaler > Spear Lunge > Crush > Quintain > Crush > Quintain > Spear Lunge > Stabbing > Dragon Soar > Unhorsing > Impaler

Aggressive Stance 3 (Against DPS Mounted Swordsman/Archer):
Unhorsing > Impaler > Spear Lunge > Crush > Quintain > Crush > Quintain > Spear Lunge > Dragon Soar > Stabbing > Impaler

Aggressive Stance 4 (Against DPS On-foot Archer):
Gae Bulg > Impaler > Spear Lunge > Crush > Quintain > Crush > Quintain > Spear Lunge > Dragon Soar > Stabbing > Impaler

Aggressive Stance 5 (Against DPS On-foot Archer/Swordsman/Mage/Cleric):
Impaler > Spear Lunge > Crush > Quintain > Crush > Quintain > Spear Lunge > Serpentine > Dragon Soar > Stabbing > Impaler > Dragontooth

2. Crowd Control combo:
Passive-Aggressive Stance (Make sure knockdown is turned on!):
Steed Charge > Earth Wave > Dragon Soar > Impaler

[size=20px]Boss Hunting Guide
Remember that Winged Hussars can dish out a whole lot of pain to boss monsters. They are competitive enough to go toe-to-toe with the previously famous “Lord Dragoon” build in terms of boss hunting. Here is the basic tactic in fighting bosses:
1. Gae Bulg > Spear Lunge > Crush > Quintain > Crush > Quintain > Spear Lunge > Serpentine > Dragon Soar > Unhorsing > Dragon Tooth (Basic Combo):
2. Earth Wave > Spear Throw > Spear Throw > Spear Throw > Spear Throw > Spear Throw > Earth Wave (Basic Combo):
3. Rinse. Lather. Repeat. >:3




Should I put SPR to get more SP and SP regen rate?
Ans: No. It would really be best to simply bring SP potion since you'll be needing those stats in STR for extra damage!

Should I put DEX for more block penetration?
Ans: No. At level 330, Lancer will have roughly 160 block penetration and when using "Initiate" buff skill you'll get 760 block penetration! So remember, no DEX! :3

Is 90 CON enough for the build?
Ans: This amount of invested CON will guarantee at least 47k HP which will make you not that easy to squish in battle. :3

Can I change Cataphract C1 to another class, like Doppelsoeldner for example?
Ans: As far as I know, you cannot use Cyclone while on mount so don't get your hopes up. Based on tests, you’ll need the Cataphract C1 for the extra AOE skills and the Trot skill for boost in speed! So answer would be a big no. :3

Can a Doppelsoeldner C3 outdamage this build in DPS?
Ans: That depends. If they have decently the same gear then yes and at the moment Doppelsoeldner is one of the top DPS for Swordsman class for PvE.

In terms of PvP however, this build can go toe-to-toe with the class because of the burst damage of Lancer + Dragoon + Hoplite skills. This is inspired by the famous “Lord Dragoon” build previously famous before the “Summer Balance Patch”.

Is maxing Trot good in PvE?
Ans: PvE or PvP, you need to max Trot! No true member of Eorlingas would wish less speed! You'll be using your speed to get in and deal massive damage to mobs and you'll also be needing max Trot to get enough speed to get out of sketchy situations. :3







Just collect some art work about Dragoon and Lancer
PS. NO NPC Cataphract & Lancer master art because I dont like them. Both of them fugly. ༼ಢ_ಢ༽
