Lancers are the games primary anti-armor specialists.

Playable Lancers[]

Armed with high-power launchers carrying a variety of warheads, small ragnaid canisters and equipped with heavily armored blast shields (army and militia lancers) or combat suits (Lanseal lancers) which protect them from mines, gunfire and mortar blasts, Lancers excel at attacks against armored vehicles.

Lancers have relatively few action points due to their heavy armor and weapons and cannot intercept enemy units, counter attack or launch cooperative assaults with adjacent allied units. Lancers (and tanks) are able to clear a path (Not very straight if a lancer) through a minefield if you haven't got an engineer within range (It is much safer to use a lancer than use a tank as there may be some anti-tank mines hidden among the anti-infantry ones).

Valkyria Chronicles[]

Lancers have the highest defense and hit points of any infantry unit in the game. Their low accuracy, low rate of fire and inability to counter enemy fire or intercept enemy units can hinder their effectiveness against infantry until mortar lances become available later in the game.

Valkyria Chronicles 2[]

Instead of blast shields, lancers from Lanseal force are equipped with combat suits which also protect them from explosions but not from cannon fire. The Lancer class tree, along with armoured tech tree, is the most versatile class as it can effectively massacre both infantry and armor with ease; like in VC1, they are also capable of clearing minefields, since they take so little damage from mine explosions.

Lancers in Valkyria Chronicles 2 can upgrade to become either Lancer Veterans or Mortarers.

Valkyria Chronicles 3[]

Instead of blast shields, lancers in Valkyria Chronicles 3 are equipped with combat suits which also protect them from explosions but not from cannon fire; this also means they can be badly damaged by mines, preventing their use (as in previous games) to clear minefields.

Lancers in Valkyria Chronicles 3 can upgrade to Lancer Veterans and then to Lancer Elites; no matter their rank, they always have a default mobility of only 250 AP.

Valkyria Chronicles 4[]

Similar to their counterparts in Valkyria Chronicles, lancers have a blast suit that protects against explosives, though they no longer have resistance against mines. They are also now capable of launching co-op attacks with each other or allied tanks against armored enemies.
