Lancer skills

The Lancer:	Skills •	Glyphs •	Weapons •	Armour

A male castanic lancer and a male human lancer using  Shield Barrage in attempt to stun the enemy.

The lancer specializes in various lancer skills and highly depends on such in terms of combat in order to deal damage from close range and attempt to avoid getting hit by defending and stunning. Most Lancer skills can only be used while a lance is equipped.

There are currently 25 skills which can only be learned by the Lancer. While 21 of them can be learned from the skill menu, Combo Attack (Lancer) and Stand Fast are gained automatically upon character creation.

All of the active skills can be enhanced with a glyph with the total glyph cost up to 55 points, depending on the character's level except for Apex skills.
