Lancer’s Traits

Rogue Company Lancer Quick and Quiet ability

Quick and Quiet (Active): Quick and Quiet enables Lancer to gain increased movement speed, quieter movement, and immunity against reveal for the duration or until firing a weapon. She can move quickly and defeat a distracted enemy without making any noise. However, the deactivation of the ability when she fires her gun is a significant downside.

Elusive (Passive): Lancer’s Passive ability Elusive allows her to activate dodge roll reloads for the currently equipped weapon. It is one of the best passive skills and gives a massive advantage over enemies during one-on-one encounters.

Lancer’s Perks

  • Padded Steps silences the sound of footsteps when not sprinting.
  • Shredder Rounds adds more damage to weapons and allows Lancer to carry more ammunition.
  • Stalker removes aim down sights movement speed penalty.
  • Helping Hand allows Lancer to revive teammates faster.
  • Tracker Rounds will reveal enemies damaged with a firearm to her team on the map.
  • Life Drain will heal Lancer for a considerable amount in short duration when killing an enemy.

Tips

One tip for Lancer is to use her size to your advantage by crouching. In a close one-on-one encounter, crouch and move left to right. This will make you hard to hit since she is so small.

After you get your first SMG upgrade which increases your hip-fire accuracy, you don’t always have to aim down sights unless you are shooting medium range. As long as you are crouching and standing still it will be pretty accurate and can be faster to start shooting right away.

Another tip when playing Lancer is to not always play the objective directly. Lancer is not meant to push the objective head-on or sit on the objective and defend it for long periods. This doesn’t mean it is something she can’t do; it’s just not her strong suit.

Lancer is best at flanking around the enemy team to get behind them and is the best character in the game to do so. If you are playing demolition and are pushing the objective while the enemy team is locked down on that objective, you want to go around the map to pop up behind the enemies to surprise them. If appropriately utilized, she can win rounds like this single-handedly.

Have your say!
