The Lancer is an Attacker Type unit unlocked at Player Level 1.
Data[]
Description: “This long spear can pierce units from a distance. Charge into units from afar to deal critical damage.”
The lancer is most powerful against enemy units. It has a fairly cheap cost of 5, and if more than a few tiles away from a target, Lancers will charge the unit with increased movement speed, dealing 3x it's usual damage to a unit or a building, knocking them over. Lancer will attack an enemy from above usual melee distance. If enemy melee unit comes near a Lancer, it will jump backwards, maintaining safe distance. This unit is less effective against tank units as the damage output is simply not high enough to pose significant threat to them. This unit has a quite powerful attack but not great defense.
Skills[]
Lancer can speed up and charge at units and buildings, dealing x3.00 pierce damage (default) that adds up to the damage of a normal attack. The charge can also knockdown ( Stun ) almost all units, with the exception of the Titan, the Buckler (his direct counter-part), and the Paladin. Note: when two lancers charge at each other, they both get hit by the normal attack damage, but the pierce damage does not apply and both get knocked back a bit, like they stumbled one in the other.
The lancer also has a minor skill: when an enemy tries to fight back, this unit backs off with a leap that allows it to dodge a hit. This ability can only be used every 3 seconds, so enemy units can still hit it in that time. Note that this applies only to units that are melee-type, have a weapon that isn’t a lance too (cause it can reach it even after the leap), and that don’t have a counter-attack skill, such as the Buckler. Also, when there’s a building, a friendly unit, or a wall behind it, the lancer can’t leap to the distance it supposedly backed off to, so it could still be damaged by the enemy’s attack.

Gáe Bulg: gives a huge boost to HP and Attack, making Lancer a significantly more powerful. Able to attack an enemy on high ground ( High Attack ), and the attack will pierce everything in it's way ( Able to attack through wall, and able to hit multiple units behind the original target ). However, it causes a slightly slower movement speed, increased cost, and the Lancer charge attack does not deal the usual bonus damage.
