Threat Hero Notes
1
Petal Not very effective against lance he can hit all her minions at the same time and she's squishy in nature so impales will do huge amounts of damage to her. Easy to keep of off allies.
1
Krul Krul is a really good duellist but when facing a team with a lance he'll never get to your carry he lack a major gap closer and if he does manage to get on to you gythian wall him away. Atlas if he's really good at catching your team out.
1
Fortress Lacks necessary damage and crowd control to be off any threat to lance beware his A skill will cause him to pounce and he gains boosted speed near allies making him slightly harder to impale.
2
Koshka She's pretty easy to keep off allies I recommend getting a crucible when matched against her. Gythian wall is your answer when she leaps.
2
Adagio Easy to combat the only reason he would ever be a threat is if he stunned your team with his ult. beware has a really high range.
2
Catherine Catherine's kit is really good however her performance against lance is lack luster she can't stun your allies because you'd knock her away. If you know how to block blast tremor then get a reflex block otherwise impale and stun.
3
Reim Rein can do significant damage to the team using winterspires and thrives in close combat he's relatively easy to take down if you have ranged carries. Ult easy to block
3
Celeste Surprisingly low on the list she is very weak early game however if left unchecked post level 8 with a broken myth she'd be in the red luckily if lance manages to impale her then it's near certain she dies shortly after
4
Ozo Only thing dangerous about him is the stun acrobounce and the fact that he's really damn hard to kill not to much of an isdue gythian wall can knock him back even when he's in air
4
Joule Weapon power Joule can be quite domminat early game however gythian wall can displace her mid jump making it hard for her to stun your allies her ult is much weaker than her cp counterpart will still be devastating to your carries displace her when she uses it
4
Ringo Shutting him down early game is easy his chasing ability is powerful focus him first in team fights. Build atlas of absolutely necessary.
4
Rona Her A is the only threat which can be easily combated with your gythian wall.
5
SAW Super annoying to deal with will probably try to build stack off of you goes down relatively quickly when impaled. Crystal saw is a bit more dangerous do to his burst. You should probably atlas
5
Ardan Only have to watch out for gauntlet must buy crucible really annoying when he vanguards enemies out of your impale. Low mobility and can't fight without carries
5
Alpha Cp will try to nuke your whole team push her back with gythian wall. Prepare to root or stun her if she manages to recover from infinite reboot.
5
Lance There can only be one. Whoever plays it better wins unless it's a full weapon lance then he's as good as dead
5
Skaarf Combat roll out of goop and you're good. Impale him and wait for your carries to clean up. Build some crystal defence early to mid game.
5
Vox Crystal is gonna ruin your day weapon is meh beware he can sonic zoom from your impale don't let wp get stacks recommended to impale and atlas.
5
Flicker Build vision and gythian wall him when he tries to slow. Your first item should probably be a contraption
6
Samuel High mobility and a nasty ult too bad he's squishy and falls of late game. Focus first in team fights and buy crucible 100% necessary
6
Lyra Arcane passage she can use it to get to your carries. She's squishy regardless of what she builds. Crystal builds target first in team fights roams ignore her damage isn't that impressive as a roam.
7
Skye Focus first in team fights crucible optional for her ult. she can kite you endlessly so don't 1v1 her unless you know you can win.
7
Idris So 2 of his abilities can dodge you impale and his chakram will damage your allies too. Only way to combat him is too focus especially the crystal build.
7
Joule Crystal power joule not much a threat to you but she'll melt your allies with her ult especially if she has echo. Wait till she uses her ult after that point she becomes pretty much useless.
8
Baron Porcupine mortars will make it hard to actually get to him and even if you do he might still fly away with his B. Strategy? Ambush him or war treads into him so that he has no time to react and jump away.
8
Phinn How do you stop the unstoppable. Phinn will just keep walking after any attempt you make to stun him also his level 8 quibble is deadly as is his ult both abilities require a reflex block.
8
Kestrel Crystal will kill your allies with invisibility flicker amounts of vision needed. Once you root her she's pretty much dead
9
Glaive He'll knock you back and then kill your allies he's also surprisingly tanky recommended crucible to prevent knock back this is a lot more important with the niche crystal builds.
9
Gwen Crystal Gwen can easily shutdown your allies even if you try to body block. She can also escape easily with her B even gettting out of roots and stuns. Her ult is devastating but your allies should have their own reflex blocks. Weapon might try to build breaking point stacks on you.
9
Blackfeather Rose offensive doesn't care about your impales or stun. He'll get to your carries. Unskilled blackfeathers are easy for lance to kill.
10
Taka Worst matchup for lance especially crystal taka he'll burst your ally and disappear then come back to clean up. High level of vision counters him beware of him stealing jungle camps.

Intro (no one reads this) Top

Hi I'm Reinr4 leader of guild forge of gods
I jungle main but as solo que did its magic I found myself stuck in the roam position more often than not. Through experimentation I found a good build pattern for lance that lead to victory quite often. However Lance is a skill shot hero and successfully landing his impales is necessary to succeed with him. With that said this build mainly targets lower tier players to try to free up the congested hell where everyone wants to play the carry. I hope you like the guide.

Lance the hero Top

At his core lances kit revolves around cc and most importantly keeping enemies away from his squishy targets most guides you see will have you take the overdrive on one ability and the third rank of the ultamite as opposed to both overdrives. I believe this to be a stupid idea for the sole reason that his third rank can be completely replaced by a Clockwork
Fountain of Renewal should almost always be rushed first unless you're facing a Flicker in that case focus vision. Stormcrownand Tornado Trigger should always be focused last as they're there just for extra utility such as stealing jungle late game or soloing kraken which is viable with the items listed.
Crucible is an important item for most roams and I recommend that most beginners pick it up regardless of the enemy they face as it helps with practicing tricky Ults such as Blast tremor or forced accord.
Aftershock is pretty self explanatory I use it because it's a bit more viable than Tension Bow late game
