Overview
Lancers are primarily used as scouts and marksmen, as well being extremely accurate from great distances. Lancers are known for using Promethean vision to track targets, even if they are behind solid objects.[2] Lancers utilize a wide range of Promethean weaponry, including Lightrifles, Binary Rifles, Suppressors and Scattershots, as their ranged armament.
In addition to the short-range teleportation capability possessed by all Promethean Knight types, Lancers are capable of charging at their opponents in a zigzagging motion at an incredible speed. This enables them to make use of the Scattershot's effectiveness in close quarters.[3]
