Lancelot MLBB Jungle Guide: Build, Emblem, Skills, Combos, and Counters

Lancelot is a high-mobility Assassin who turns unmarked targets into dash resets, stacks Soul Cutter before contact, and uses two untargetable or invincible windows to burst the back line. Pick him when your draft can create a clear jungle tempo and enemy carries lack reliable anti-dash zones. Avoid blind first-entry dives into suppression, dash denial, or tightly layered crowd control.

Lancelot at a Glance

Lancelot Skills and Decision Rules

Soul Cutter - Buff / Passive

Each time Lancelot charges, his damage is increased by 7.5% for 4 seconds, up to 30%.

When: Stack it through planned charges before committing to the carry. Why: Four charges reach the 30% damage cap and improve the whole burst sequence. Do not: Do not waste charges on a route that leaves no reset for entry or exit.

Notes: Blink: Movement ability that can pass through obstacles.

Puncture - Mobility / AOE

Lancelot charges in the target direction, dealing 150 (+50% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies along the way and applying a Sword Mark to the first unmarked enemy hit. The Sword Mark lasts 3 seconds. Applying a Sword Mark resets the skill cooldown.

When: Dash through an unmarked unit when it creates another reset and a safe angle. Why: A successful Sword Mark immediately refreshes Puncture, turning each fresh unit into mobility. Do not: Do not dash twice through the same marked target expecting another reset.

Notes: Blink: Movement ability that can pass through obstacles. Physical Damage Skill: Deals Physical Damage to enemies and triggers Spell Vamp.

Thorned Rose - AOE / Slow

Lancelot strikes in the target direction three times, each dealing 220 (+120% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage. Damage is reduced when multiple enemies are hit. He is untargetable during the process; enemies in the center take all three hits and are slowed by 20% for 0.5 seconds, and the slow can stack.

When: Center the target when possible so all three strikes land. Why: The center hit concentrates damage while Lancelot is untargetable. Do not: Do not cast at maximum range without checking whether the center can connect.

Notes: Extra Physical Attack excludes base Physical Attack and level-up growth. Spell Vamp recovery depends on Skill Damage, Spell Vamp, and the skill-specific Spell Vamp Ratio; the panel shows 50% for Thorned Rose.

Phantom Execution - Burst / Mobility

After a short delay, Lancelot performs an executioner's strike in the target direction, dealing 350 (+170% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage. He is invincible throughout the process.

When: Aim through the carry's escape route and bridge the vulnerable gap after Thorned Rose. Why: The ultimate adds burst, movement, and an invincible window that can dodge a key response. Do not: Do not use it only for travel when the enemy can punish the next cooldown window.

Notes: Invincible grants Control Immunity, Damage Immunity, and Untargetable status. Untargetable does not remove existing effects or damage over time. Physical Damage Skill triggers Spell Vamp.

Skill Priority and Lancelot Combos

Teamfight combo

Puncture through a front target, land Thorned Rose on the back line, use Phantom Execution through the carry, then Puncture again to chase or retreat. Keep the last dash flexible instead of spending every reset forward.

Laning and clear combo

Chain Puncture through fresh minion marks to clear and stack Soul Cutter, then use Thorned Rose when the enemy walks into the center. Do not consume the final unmarked minion if it is your exit.

How to Play Lancelot by Phase

Five Lancelot Mistakes

1. Repeating a marked target: the second Puncture does not reset, so the route collapses.
2. Missing Thorned Rose center: edge hits waste much of the burst and slow pressure.
3. Entering before anti-dash control is spent: Minsitthar and Phoveus can restrict the core movement plan.
4. Leaving no exit mark: spending every creep and hero mark forward turns a pickoff into a trade.
5. Separating the two immunity windows poorly: an avoidable gap between Thorned Rose and Phantom Execution gives the enemy a clean stun or burst window.

Lancelot Equipment Notes

Key items from the observed builds. One card per item with a full-size icon.

When: Enemy front line and carries build enough armor to blunt your burst.

Do not: Targets are already low-armor and you need another defensive tool first.

Rose Gold Meteor

When: Magic burst is the main threat on entry.

Do not: The enemy is almost entirely physical.

Best Teammates, Threats, and Favorable Targets

Group	Heroes	Mechanism	Action
Best partners	Atlas, Tigreal, Angela	Group control lines targets up for Thorned Rose; Angela adds protection while Lancelot commits.	Enter after the setup begins, not before it.
Hard threats	Minsitthar, Phoveus	Their zones or responses punish repeated dashes and can erase the reset route.	Track the anti-dash skill and hold Phantom Execution for its timing.
Favorable targets	Cecilion, Pharsa	Long-range mages have delayed or positional skill patterns that Lancelot can cross quickly.	Approach from the side and keep one mark for the escape.

Attributes and Level-One Base Stats

The hero-page bars measure approximately 46% Durability, 54% Offense, 18% Control Effect, and 54% Difficulty from the current in-game screenshot. These are pixel measurements, not hidden game ratings.

Lancelot Story in Brief

Lancelot is the brilliant but arrogant prodigal son of House Baroque. After his overconfidence left him seriously wounded near Azure Lake, Odette cared for him; the encounter changed his path and deepened the bond behind the Blade of Roses identity.

Lancelot FAQ

Final Verdict

Lancelot rewards route planning more than raw speed. The reliable plan is to stack Soul Cutter, preserve fresh Sword Marks, center Thorned Rose, and connect the two protection windows without surrendering the exit. If the enemy draft can lock every dash, choose a simpler jungler; if the back line is reachable, Lancelot can turn one front target into a direct route to the carry.
