Lancelot's Skill Order Notes The Reason we are maxing out Skilled strikes first, is for this reason. Whenever you play an assassin as a tank, your single target damage is usually impactfully lower than in a standard build. What we are doing here is keeping knock-up CC and area damage from diving crash as a form of movement and dodge to keep the enemy distracted. Also, once level 5 and your ult is unlocked, TGJ goes right to mount up after activation, so Crashing Dive can be used yet again. Its cool down is as low as the mount up cooldown.

Also, once level 5 and your ult is unlocked, TGJ goes right to mount up after activation, so Crashing Dive can be used yet again. Its cool down is as low as the mount up cooldown.
