Disclosure: "Ancelot", a Lancelot with an Ancile, is not my term. Saw it on a video and I think it's great.
So, what do people think of the Ancelot, either variety (Taran or Orkan)? I do not have one yet but I saw one in 2 of the 4 matches I played today. Someone from ARC (Wiggle-Monster) had a maxed Taran Ancelot and went with me up the left side of DC at the beginning of one match.
I killed 2 or 3 bots with my Griffin, died, and respawned in a Lance. By the time I made it to E beacon, he was still there, engaged with two bots! Holy smokes that thing is durable. Still, something tells me a taran fujin *might* give it a run for its money, given the firepower of 3 tarans. Or maybe a regular thunder taran lance might be able to take it singlehandedly, I don't know.
Any field observations yet? If so, thoughts?

I ran an Ancille/Orkan and Ancille/Taran Lance before the buff to good effect. It is definitely viable now with the buff. Amazingly durable before the buff.

Impressive if Ancile buff will really be 5% regeneration per second

I played an orkan Ancelot in the TS, and it is seriously fun to play with, you do lose the firepower of the thunder that you would've usually run on lance, but this thing can last pretty much a whole Mach and take on multiple bots at once and come up victorious

I have a feeling that one of these will be enough to take center beacon in Shenzen

I saw an Ancelot for the first time today on Yamantau. He obliterated my Plasma Gal and I activated my Ork-Rog. I jumped inside his energy shield and was able to destroy him. I totally want an Ancelot now that I've seen one in battle. What a monster, dude!!! Already have the Ancile and looking forward to getting the Lance  |

I can already see ancile carnage and raijin rushes being used as a viable strategy during clan battles. 190k hp and regen of 9.5k per second! It's ridiculous |

Had an ancile/taran Lancelot in Dead City just now, even in IOS servers it's a flipping tank. Impossible to kill, until I was forced to sneak up behind it and end its life in my mag stalker

Taran "Ancelot" is a monster, a beast, a straight killer!
Firepower? You can deal 130k in one magazine (over 10 seconds). That's good enough because...
Defense? Physical shields AND the newly mega-buffed certified mint Ancile!
You basically will take heat from tridents, plasmahads, all the same. Untouchable, unless seriously outnumbered (isn't that what team mates are for?).
Sitting on 4k Au. I was saving for an Orkan Rog but since I have a lv10 ancile I think I will get the lancelot. Other minor problem is I need more Tarans... or sideline my TnA Griff but that will neever happen

I won an Ancile in Halloween event and honestly I've been having trouble getting my Lancelot to work for me because I get nuked by rockets long before I can waddle into position.

I just loaded mine up today (Lance 6), with underleveled tarans(7) and ancile(6), and I was very surprised. It took a heck of a beating to bring down, and was holding 3-4 bots off simultaneously on a beacon. Definitly can't wait to level this beast up!

I think Tarancilot is the name to go with.

Never played a Lancelot but pretty sure it would take the fujinn easy because of its weakness. If you are with 300m just rush the stupid thing and give it a kiss the fujinn will go cross-eyed and can't hit you at kissing range (it would have to shoot through its own big stupid head) and it makes a pretty big piece of cover while you take it down. |

bought one to go with my ancile purchased when i started playing. sooo...
6/6/8 Tarancilot? (tarans at 8). Going to hide my paycheck from the missus and get 4 more:). JK....or not...
The shield is workable now. it charges fast enuff while hiding and maneuvering into firing position to be an asset. As soon as everybody sees you its a swarm right to you. I like the attention. Reduced firepower means smart playing is even more important with a modicum of patience thrown in. Beginner lance is sure slow...

On TS I ran a Raijin thunder Ancile. You def need a team mate for DPS, but as a red magnet it's awesome.
I walked across the Shenzen center all the way to red's spawn beacon and popped my shield. Literally sat there for like 4 minutes straight and let a blue DB Griff hide behind me. We killed like 6 bots just sitting there...

I saw an Ancelot for the first time today on Yamantau. He obliterated my Plasma Gal and I activated my Ork-Rog. I jumped inside his energy shield and was able to destroy him. I totally want an Ancelot now that I've seen one in battle. What a monster, dude!!! Already have the Ancile and looking forward to getting the Lance This seems to be one of the best methods for bringing these behemoths down. I don't own a rog but in the ts this weekend I was trying one out to see what the buffs have done for it. Killing ancilots seems to be its calling. Every time I encountered one (which was 2 or three times a match) I pulled my ork rog, dove inside it's shield, and ended the charge. My rog usually died in the process but that seems a small price to bring down such a monster. I'm a big DB grif fan boy so I've really enjoyed the ork rog and, as stated above, have found some awesome utility in it as a counter to the ancilot. I'll be buying a rog and some orks for it asap...and an ancile for my lance. |
