Lancers primarily use two-handed spears and other piercing weapons, and are agile warriors. Once influenced by the mighty Ala Mhigan lancers, there was a period where competition over spear shaft length was trending, but now it has developed into the mixed use of various types of spears. Mastering polearm weapons to wield them freely is no simple matter. However, once you master the techniques, you can sweep across the battlefield with movements like a violent storm.
