Picked up a Lancelot from the 100 keys chest(damn i knew it was better than 1000). This is the hangar im running rn. Planning on keeping my RDB Griff and putting my second orkan on the lance. Working on upgrades. Not really playing the hangar im still leveling it up and focusing on skirmish.
L6 Leo-L6 Thunder/3x L6 Aphid
L3 Lancelot-L6 Thunder/L5 and L7 Punisher T
L5 Galahad-L6 Orkan/2x L6 Pinata
L6 Griffin-2x L6 Tulumbas/2x L6 Pin
when i get my second orkan im running a punisher galahad and orkcilot. When i get my 5th slot i guess i can use my L1 stalker. I dont plan on upgrading it until prolly 4k Au. Suggestions pls it helps

I'm in D1 atm.
Thunder/Orkan Lance works rly well, great beacon caper/defender.
Don't like the galahad, maybe with smth like corona/halo or scourge/spark.. but with silver gear I would not use it.
DB/RDB Griffin is always good.
Other good, cheap setups to try:
4xTulumbas Doc, Punisher/Orkan Doc, Avenger/Punisher Leo or Lance, 4xAphid Jesse or Patton.
o/
Actually, after the Orkan I would focus on getting an Avenger. Rly kicks 「bum-bum」, on any bot.

Congrats on the lance!
The ubiquitous Lancelot setup is the ancilot. Very good survivability. If you slap a couple of orkans or tarans along on the sides you have a great bot for wading into engagements and tanking damage for more fragile allies.
With the two shields its also quite forgiving of mistakes. Something I always found useful!
The meta as you climb the leagues moves more towards the mid-range, unless you have an orkan spectre or two. I currently run a tempest and two scourges on my lance, making it the bot with the longest reach in my hangar oddly enough for a brawler bot. I often find myself dropping the lance last as it is a good bot for surviving jist that bit longer in a fierce match. This is in E1 for context.
Thunders are unfortunately obsolete as you climb so don't pin your hopes on it too much. An avenger of the same level will hit harder at point blank range, and will also perform better up to 500 metres too. Its a real shame considering how amazing the weapon once was.
So keep the orks, lose the thunder when you can, and if possible get an ancilot-hat on there to keep your lance waddling that bit longer.

I think Orkans are better suited to hit and run tactics and the lancelot certainly isn't a hit and run bot

I have a Lance with Zeus & Scourge ; normally the heaviest hitter in my hangar
Prefer it to Fury & also Bulwark (so far)

Dragoon/Pulsar Lancelot is my new fave build for this bot. OP, you should think about grinding for an Avenger. It's dirt cheap (relatively). Leadhose setups with the Avenger are awesome. I'm running that on my L5 Inky and it's great - much better than Thunder/Punisher T. For the second Lancelot, if you decide to run it when you get you're 5th slot, maybe do a Tempest/Molot T. That worked really well for me for a long time in Diamond to Expert. |

Lancelots are a great score in a silver chest. 5000gold in the olden days. Lots of grinding to get that.
Probably why I 12mk2ed him.
My pic for the Lance is Ancile/Scourge/orkan. The scourge to start the damage as you waddle in and the hose them down with some rocket action when in range
Currently I started mixing up my main hanger and run it ancile/storm/ion. It feels a bit underpowered but I haven't upgraded the ion enough. I like my weps to be 10.
I wouldn't mind lead hosing him but after doing that with my Leo I feel they need a rooter as well.

I have two Lancelots that I use as tanks for holding beacons or for team support, not as hunters. So basically, defensively. One is an ancile/taran, which the majority of people use. But it doesn't work well against robots with physical shields, so I use an ancile and orkans on the second one.
As jonnya said, a Lancelot isn't a hit and run bot, but I find orkans very useful against rhinos, galahards and the countless gareths I face. Orkans might be a useful possibility if you want to use your Lancelot for defensive purposes -- but you'll want to make use of cover.
Again, lancelots with anciles are better used as tanks -- defensively or with teammates. If you want to use any ancilelot against an orkan spectre, for example, be prepared to write your will

The Tarancilelot setup hasn't let me down ever since I got it, would recommend, though it's more of a "Lead team into battle and die fighting" type setup. A word of advice: Anything the size of a Pursuer or smaller pushing against your shield is a death sentence, your weapons can't turn enough to target them correctly if theyre hugging you, splash weapons may circumvent this, so unless you confident you can kill them,don't let them touch you. Or else. |

Guys, pls tell me what the hell im going to put on my lance if ever i use the orkans on the griffs, cuz i dont plan on buying ancile as im earning for my 5th slot, grinding for gusts in workshop so i cant really produce other comps. Plus i need to have my workshop at L24 to produce 400comps tarans, which is a long way as i am still lvl 10 in workshop. Should i keep the punisher Ts?

I think Griffin with Orkan & Pinata will be deadly beacuse you can kill easly even in Gold/Diamond League. It still good if you put Punisher T and Thunder on Lancelot, but it will be better if you replace thunder with Avenger (heavy version of punisher), because it not giving significant effect by Thunder if you are in maximum range. Another option, you'll be better if using energy/plasma weapon, so you can hit energy shield very easily. In my opinion you don't need to wait until Lv 24 workshop to wait 400 comps tarrans. Just produce 100 comps and wait, you can get soon. |

I like Avenger/Storms or Avenger/Punisher T for lance. Just don't let the midgets hug you.

I got my Lancelot 4 days ago and I have him set up with the two Scourges with an Ancille. He is a Beast! I spent my upgrade silver on him, and have never been sorry. He is level 11 now after 3 days of upgrades..He is my go to bot. I prefer him above any other bot for brawling.
Showing my age here, but does the Lancelot remind anyone else of the lost in space robot? The original series, I mean...

Im literally testing my luck, im not earning for another orkan, im saving alot of BM keys in hopes i can get an orkan from the broze chest. Saving up for a thousand then roll the bronze a hundred times. Hope for an orkan. |

I still use my Lancelots. Two Ancilots equipped with Scourge and the other Caronas. My third Lance will feature Pulsar and Dragoon. It's still a great bot.
