Category:Lances (Fomor)

Basic Information

• Lances are massive and powerful two-handed weapons only usable by Humans and Giants.
• Giants may equip a Shield with a lance.
• Lances receive a 20% damage and 5% Critical rate bonus when using Smash.
• Lance Counter, Lance Charge, Lance Leap, and Lance Impact are skills unique to lances.
  • Counterattack, Bash and Rage Impact may not be used with a lance equipped.
• Any currently loaded skill will be canceled when a lance is equipped.
• The damage, critical rate, and hit count of lances are increased by the Lance Mastery skill.
• Lances have 200 more range than other melee weapons. Because of this, lances can intercept normal attacks from enemies provided the player has good timing and very low latency.
  • The faster an enemy is moving, the more difficult this is to accomplish.
  • Lances are unable to intercept the Charge skill.
  • Despite attacking from afar, Instinctive Reaction can still intercept lances.
  • Lances cannot hit switches from afar.
  • Lances can be used to 'open' Mimics from afar, allowing players to get the first hit.
• Lances have a minimum attack distance penalty, that is, players cannot attack enemies lower than this distance.
  • Windmill, Final Hit, and Assault Slash are unaffected by the minimal distance penalty.
• When using Assault Slash with a lance, the player will land farther away from the enemy than normal.
  • Sometimes, when the player attempts to use Assault Slash after a Lance Smash, the "Target is too far away" message will appear, despite the enemy being in range.
    • This can be fixed by ranking Assault Slash, which increases the distance the player may use it.

Piercing Level

For the main article, see Piercing Level.

• Lances ignore a portion of the enemy's Defense and Protection. The amount ignored is shown in the weapon's stats.
  • Contrary to popular belief, it is not possible to have negative Defense and/or Protection.
  • All Lances have a set piercing level.
  • Piercing level can be increased by using Lance Upgrades (currently limited to Knight Lance, Demonic Oculus Lance, Languhiris Bone-Breaker, Nightbringer Spearhead and Divine Short Lance) and the Enchants: Siege, Medal, Secret, Penetrating, 67th Floor and Cartel.
