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 use Ellaganos card for extra +DEX in case you wish to additional block penetration.



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):
Joust > Crush > Quintain > Crush > Quintain > Impaler

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

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

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

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

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

[size=20px]Boss Hunting Guide
Remember that Lancers can dish out a whole lot of pain to boss monsters. They do not necessarily need to tank but they should survive long enough to bring down the toughest of world bosses. Here is the basic tactic in fighting bosses:
1. Gae Bulg > Crush > Quintain > Crush > Quintain > Dragon Soar > Serpentine > Dragon Tooth > Unhorsing (Basic Combo):
2. Rush > Earth Wave > Doom Spike > Steed Charge (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 Swordsman C3 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. xD

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.

In terms of PvP however, this build can go toe-to-toe with the class because of the burst damage of Lancer + Dragoon skills. :3

Is your Dragoon Overlord variant better for PvE or is a mix of dragoon and lancer better
Ans: Technically speaking they're both deadly in PvP with nearly same capacity in PvE. I'll just drop the difference so it'll be more clear:

For "The Rohirrim" build:
- Uses Cataphract and Dragoon skills/attributes to deal devastating damage to mobs
- Combination of Dragoon and Lancer skills make the build deadly in PvP or single target or boss hunts
- Longer and more potent buffs due to Swordsman C3
- Main string is Lancer's "Crush" + "Quintain" to deal massive damage to mobs extremely lucky enough to survive the string of crowd control/killing skills of Cataphract
- This build uses less skills thus faster cycle of skills from Lancer and Dragoon

For the "Dragoon Overlord" build:
- Uses Cataphract and Dragoon skills/attributes to deal devastating damage to mobs
- Dragoon C2 skills make the build deadly in PvP or single target or boss hunts (with Dethrone to deal damage and incapacitate enemy movement)
- Potent buffs from Swordsman C2 boosted by Hoplite C1 "Finestra" buff
- Main string is Dragoon's "Serpentine" + "Dethrone" + "Stabbing" to deal massive damage to mobs unlucky enough to survive string of crowd control/killing skills of Cataphract
- This build uses more skills for more string damage (so of course more button mashing)

At the end of the day, it all boils down to button mashing. If you enjoy less button mashing then "The Rohirrim" build is for you but if you have no problem mashing a lot of buttons then feel free to use the "Dragoon Overlord" build.

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

Do you think corsair would fit this build?
Ans: Yes Corsair would also fit for this build. If ever you wish to trade Dragoon with Corsair, what you'll have to put in skill (if you wish to do PvP build) would be:
1) Iron Hook lvl5
2) Keel Haul lvl5
3) Jolly Roger lvl5

I refer to this build as the Crusader build.







Just collect some art work about Dragoon and Lancer
