Fight the Knight: Lancelot Guide (S9)

Greetings, one and all, to another guide. In this guide, we'll be looking at the greatest knight of the Round Table, an expert in both sword and joust, King Arthur's best friend (and worst enemy), and the only person to receive the title of Brave. Sir Lancelot du Lac.
Note: you don't have to follow this guide to the smallest detail. These are suggestions on how to play Lancelot. I encourage you to see the comment section below and other tips.

• High Damage
• High Mobility
• Stances

• Long CD
• Can be Knocked-off Horse
• Mount is Limited

Guan Yu

Hachiman

• Healthy as a Horse
  Since your Mount needs time to build up its health shield, it's easy for the enemy to take it out early if you get hit immediately. Any item and relic that provide a health shield also increase your horses' health.
  Example: Activating a shell relic before mounting quickly, so your horse has enough time to build up its shield before the enemy takes it out.
• Duelist
  Take full advantage of Lancelot's ability to reduce damage against a god he's facing. Utilize his passive in combination with his abilities to take out a single target
• Gallop
  Like other gods with mounts or abilities that make them faster, increasing your movement speed will also make your Mount faster. Buffs, relics, and items that increase your movement also affect your horse.

  Activate Piercing Thrust to charge your way through a target. Once you stop, hit the cancel ability button and strike with an auto-attack. Follow up that by firing Piercing Thrust again before throwing in one more auto-attack to keep the damage coming.
  Works best with items that increase auto-attack damage like Hydra's Lament and Jotunn's Ferocity.

  🠞 🠞
  Quickly dash in with Piercing Thrust, cancel this ability, then quickly activate Skilled Strikes before following up with the second use of Piercing Thrust.
  Works best with items that allow your abilities to deal additional damage like The Crusher, Heartseeker, and Gladiator's Shield.

  Get in close enough so that the root from Crashing Dive locks down your target, and depending on the situation, use either Piercing Thrust or Skilled Strikes based on the situation. Do you need quick damage, or do you want a bit of control?

  Ultimate

  
  🠞 🠞 🠞 🠞 🠞 /
  Mount Up if you haven't already. Once close enough, use Crashing Dive to root your target. Once up close, use Combo 2 to damage your target as much damage as possible. Then if that wasn't enough, use The Grand Joust to get that last hit in or as a way to escape danger. If the target is still kicking, use Shining Gallop or Crashing Dive to keep up the damage.

In conclusion, Lancelot is a fighter who can take out his targets and get to where he needs to be more quickly, thanks to his horse. With his utility and control, Lancelot plays like a high-mobility warrior with the stats of an assassin. Combine your abilities to maximize damage, use both the control and mobility your mount provides, and show them what it means to be a true knight.
