History
The Lancer was created to replace the outdated, underperforming and oft-maligned Arcane as a chassis for the arc node, which itself replaced the Javelin used during the Thornwood War. After several decisive Cryxian victories along Cygnar’s western coast, King Leto Raelthorne pressured Warmaster General Olson Turpin to heed the warcasters’ assessment and challenged the Royal Cygnaran University to provide a better platform for the costly arc node.[1]
Properties
Adapted from the reliable Charger chassis, the Lancer is a rugged yet agile masterpiece. The Lancer was developed with an emphasis on defence and survivability. Its main weapon is a heavy spear designed to keep enemies at bay, and its sturdy shield generates a shock field capable of burning out a warjack cortex on contact. The Lancer's arc node, a device of unquestionable utility, allows a warcaster to extend his arcane reach across the battlefield.[1]
