==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.<ref name="gi">'''GameInformer''', ''October 2012 edition'' (digital content)</ref> Lancers utilize a wide range of Promethean weaponry, including [[Z-250 Directed Energy Engagement Weapon|Lightrifles]], [[Z-750 Special Application Sniper Rifle|Binary Rifles]], [[Z-130 Directed Energy Automatic Weapon|Suppressors]] and [[Z-180 Close Combat Rifle|Scattershot]]s, as their ranged armament.
Lancers are explicitly designed to secure elevated positions from which they can survey the battlefield, unleashing accurate and lethal fire from massive ranges<ref name="H4EVG"/>. As such, they 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<ref name="gi">'''GameInformer''', ''October 2012 edition'' (digital content)</ref> as well as using the autosentry to provide covering fire. Lancers utilize a wide range of Promethean weaponry, including [[Z-250 Directed Energy Engagement Weapon|Lightrifles]], [[Z-750 Special Application Sniper Rifle|Binary Rifles]], [[Z-130 Directed Energy Automatic Weapon|Suppressors]] and [[Z-180 Close Combat Rifle|Scattershot]]s, as their ranged armament.  


Despite being designed with range in mind, they are still capable of engaging in close-quarters combat. <ref name="H4EVG"/>
In addition to the short-range [[Slipspace translocation|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.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omxyh9Ti9Yw& '''YouTube''': ''NEW!

== Appearance ==
Lancers distinct themselves visually from regular knights by the addition of five fins on their carapace. They are transverse sensor arrays which provide remote sensory data. Their swords also differ as they are elongated and end in a hook.<ref name="H4EVG"/>
