Lancelot: The Dashing Duelist of MLBB Chivalry – My Tips!
JAKARTA, nintendotimes.com – Lancelot: The Dashing Duelist of Chivalry always had this cool, mysterious vibe I just couldn’t resist. Seriously, when I first started using him in Mobile Legends, I felt like a knight swinging through battles, but trust me – there were so many hilarious fails before I actually got good. If you’re curious about how this hero rocks the field, lemme spill the real deal based on what I went through (and learned the hard way).
Lancelot, the graceful and lethal duelist in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, excels at weaving through enemy lines, bursting down key targets, and escaping unscathed. With his elegant skillset and high mobility, Lancelot rewards precision and timing, making him one of the most satisfying heroes for mechanically-skilled players. In this guide, I’ll share my best tips for mastering Lancelot, from skill combos and build paths to positioning and advanced maneuvers.
Why Lancelot Shines on the Battlefield
- Exceptional mobility and dash resets
- High single-target burst with skill resets
- Invulnerability frames on key skills
- Strong dueling potential from early to late game
Understanding Lancelot’s strengths and limitations is the first step toward dominating as the Dashing Duelist.
Lancelot’s Abilities Breakdown
Passive: Soul Cutter
After using a skill, Lancelot’s next basic attack deals bonus damage and restores a portion of his energy. This passive incentivizes weaving basic attacks between skills to maximize sustain and damage.
First Skill: Puncture
Lancelot dashes forward, dealing physical damage. If Puncture hits an enemy, its cooldown resets—allowing multiple dashes in quick succession. Use Puncture to engage, chase, or dodge skillshots.
Second Skill: Thorned Rose
Lancelot delivers a wide slash that deals physical damage and slows hit enemies. Landing this skill enhances his next Puncture—prioritizing Thorned Rose before dash combinations optimizes burst damage.
Ultimate: Phantom Execution
Lancelot leaps into the air, becomes untargetable, and strikes at a target location, dealing massive damage to nearby enemies. This ultimate is both a gap-closer and a finisher; use it to dodge crowd control or execute fleeing foes.
Core Combo Techniques
- Thorned Rose → Puncture → Basic Attack (proc Passive)
- Thorned Rose → Puncture reset → Puncture again → Phantom Execution
- Puncture into backline → Thorned Rose → Puncture resets → Phantom Execution
Mastering these combos hinges on quick reflexes and accurate targeting. Practice in custom matches to internalize the rhythm.

Game Phase Tips
Jungle Route & Early Ganks

- Use Puncture resets to dodge crowd control and secure early kills
Mid Game Skirmishes
- Prioritize isolating enemy carries
- Split-push with caution—always have an escape plan via Puncture
- Vision control in jungle entrances to avoid ambushes
Late Game Team Fights
- Wait for enemies to expend key crowd control
- Flank from side lanes, target backline (mages & marksmen)
- Use Phantom Execution defensively to dodge ultimates or crowd control
Advanced Maneuvers
- Combo Flicker: Flicker + Phantom Execution to surprise enemy carries or avoid skillshots.
- Invisible Puncture: Brush hide + delayed Puncture activation to catch opponents off-guard.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Spamming Puncture recklessly, leaving no dash resets for escape
- Engaging without checking map vision, leading to 2v1 or 3v1 deaths
- Ignoring energy management—overusing skills can leave you unable to finish combos
- Diving under enemy turret without Inspire or backup
Counters & Counters To
- Strong Counters: Khufra, Franco, Tigreal (hard crowd control chains)
- Easy Matchups: Heroes with low mobility and no escape (e.g., Layla, Estes)
- Tips vs. Counters: Bait out crowd control with short Thorned Rose → back off, then re-engage when key abilities are on cooldown
Conclusion
Lancelot demands mechanical precision, map awareness, and smart decision-making. By mastering his skill combos, optimizing item builds, and refining your positioning, you can turn the Dashing Duelist into a game-winning assassin. Practice relentlessly, learn from each duel, and soon you’ll be weaving through enemies and securing carry-potential every match.
