Hello hello, I'm Lash. I've been a self-proclaimed Lancer main since the start of 100 cap. I have four lancers leveled to 110, each of them at 'end-game' content (Bakal raid). This guide will describe the role of the class and include certain meta-builds. The guides are geared towards beginners looking to create a Demonic Lancer. I will attempt to briefly explain some of the game's gearing mechanics without going too far into detail. I will also start off the guides assuming you've passed the "tutorial," when you've reached the level cap (currently 110).
I want to start off with a disclaimer by stating that I am by no means the end-all-be-all expert on all the Demonic Lancer classes. This guide is reflective of my personal experience with the classes supplemented by some research done on the classes. You may even see some difference in quality of the guides for each of the different lancers.
At the end of the day, this is just a guide to get you started on playing lancers. If you find that you want to play a certain way, then by all means do. And of course, I am open to criticism so if you see anything I can include or improve on do let me know @notlash on discord.
"This lance is burdened with the future of my people."
Demonic Lancers are the spearman archetype class in DFO. They are a melee DPS-class with a decent range due to their elongated weapons. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) The class advancements consist of Dragoon, Impaler, Skirmisher, and Vanguard who utilize the weapon types Beam Spear, Javelin, Long Lance, and Halberd, respectively.
If you love playing spear classes or just like the edgy character design of the demonic lancers, then this might be the class you're lookin for.
