Lancelot Build – Emblem, Spell, Items & Guide | Mobile Legends

Lancelot is the Blade of Roses of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. He’s a renowned swordsman who left his royal family and lived in solitude. He had an argument with his father that he won’t marry a woman for the sake of a large sum of money through dowry. He was able to keep himself sustained by winning sword competitions.

When he got out of a tavern, he saw a young girl who is about to be attacked by some drunkards. He valiantly fought them to save her but got seriously wounded as a result. Later, Lancelot is surprised to wake up at Swan Castle. He found out that the young girl he saved was Princess Odette who sneaked out of the castle because of her curiosity about the outside world.

Since Swan Castle was restricted to outsiders, Odette had to hide him inside the castle’s tower. She would bring him food daily and listen to his songs while playing the harp. They had fun conversations about Lancelot’s half-truth adventure stories as well. Feeling guilty about his lies, he silently left the castle and left a note to Odette with a promise to fulfill everything they’ve talked about as he embarks on a new adventure.

Lancelot Overview

Lancelot has a unique trait that makes him one of the most feared assassins. Unlike other assassins whose damage is mostly concentrated on one target only—all of Lancelot’s skills have an Area of Effect. He has a better chance of killing more enemies who are grouped together. His mobility is one of the highest in the game.

This guide is based on the best practices of the current Global Top 1 Lancelot player El Putra VS Everybody. We’ll study his best Lancelot build to understand how he managed to have a high win rate for this hero. Each spell, emblem and item will be assessed to help us understand how they work best for Lancelot based on his default stats, role and skills.

Basic Stats

Skills

Whenever Lancelot makes a dashing attack, his damage is increased from 7.5% up to 30% within 4 seconds.

Lancelot dashes straight to a target area to deal 100 + 50% Total Physical Attack Damage to all enemies along its path. The first enemy to get hit will get a sword mark. If Lancelot hits an enemy with a sword mark, it will reset the cooldown of this skill.

Battle Spell

It’s rare to see Lancelot not taking the core player role so retribution is the highly recommended battle spell for him. This allows him to quickly farm the jungle monsters and get the buffs to be a better help for his allies. 

This second spell is the next recommended option for Lancelot because of his burst damage. You can use execute in place of his ultimate skill early in the game if it’s not yet active. In case your target survives your combo, you can also use this to secure your kill.

If survivability and chase are your priority, you can also consider using Flicker. Given that Lancelot is a bit squishy, it’s good for him to have an extra escape option handy.

Lancelot Gameplay Tips

Skill Upgrade Priority

First Priority – Second Skill: Thorned Rose
Main Priority – Ultimate Skill: Phantom Execution
Least Priority – First Skill: Puncture

Lancelot Combo

First Combo: 
First Skill + Basic Attack + First Skill + Basic Attack + Second Skill 

Second Combo:
First Skill + Basic Attack + Second Skill + Ultimate Skill

There are other ways you can combine his skills for the combo depending on the situation. Keep in mind that Lancelot’s dashing skills are the ones that activate his Passive Skill—not his Second Skill.

Lancelot Mobile Legends Combat Strategy

Poke. If you’re not the core player, you can start the game by poking your opponent using your first and second skills. If you’re lucky, you can get the first blood by using the execute battle spell.

Core. As a core player, it’s a given that you should start by farming in the jungle and getting all the buffs. Most importantly, you need to become powerful enough to help your teammates as you roam around the map. Make sure to secure the turtle kill for the team at all costs.

Ambush. As a burst damage hero, your skills have the element of surprise. Therefore, anticipate the movement direction of an incoming hero and then hide in the closest bush on its path. When it gets close enough, swiftly wipe it off with your deadly burst combo before it can even react.

Team Fight. Make the most of your AoE skills by hitting as many enemies as possible. Damaging and slowing down a group of enemies will give your allies the advantage of finishing them off quicker. Prioritize attacking squishy heroes like marksmen & mages.

Unlimited Dash. After getting the blue buff, you can practically dash endlessly to multiple enemies as long as you don’t hit the same target twice. Moreover, this would require some practice because your finger should be quick in aiming and dashing to the right enemy to prevent attacking the same one twice.

More Tips & Tricks

• Evade Aldous’ ultimate skill by using Lancelot’s second skill because it makes him immune to any attacks for a short period.
• Lancelot’s ultimate skill makes him briefly immune to attacks during the dash. Make sure to time it perfectly.
• Flicker and the glowing orb dash in the jungle can activate Lancelot’s passive because they’re similar to his dashing skills.

• Use your first skill to get behind enemies with straight channeling attacks like the ultimate skills of Gord and Dyrroth.
