Angela10.2
Heartguard and the shield keep your carry alive through his whole burst window.

You are slippery enough to make Lancelot's burst miss.

Global healing undoes the burst he needs to be lethal, and he cannot dive the whole team.

You match his tempo in the jungle and win the fight he starts.

HOW TO PLAY LANCELOT
Chain your first skill dashes by hitting different targets (minions, monsters, or heroes) to reset its cooldown. Use your second skill (Thorned Rose) to dodge dangerous enemy abilities, as you are untargetable during the animation.
HOW TO PLAY AGAINST LANCELOT
- Thorned Rose grants invulnerability — wait it out.
HIDDEN MECHANICS
What the in-game descriptions do not tell you: crowd-control rules and verified skill quirks. How crowd control works →
Soul Cutter- Additional damage dealt includes all types of damage from any sources.
- Aside from Lancelot's own abilities, he also gains 1 stack of Soul Cutter caused by the Cyclone Eye's dash, Flicker, and Mathilda's Guiding Wind.
Puncture- Puncture first applies Sword Mark, then the damage. Meaning if an unmarked enemy dies from Puncture, the cooldown is reset.
