tips of being a pure lancer

[Kafein]

The problem with heavy cav with lance/light lance is that even if you are the best rider in the world you don't have enough horse speed and agility to avoid damage. It means you have to be decent on foot too. Of course that's not a huge problem if you go shieldless, it allows you to use 2 slot polarms which are among the best weapons in the game in situations where you are stranded and you only have a half dozen skill points less than a pure infantry build. Just don't expect playing pure cavalry.

The biggest tip for lancers is don't be a lancer until something gets buffed.

...that's why i'm a jousting lancer.

@kafein: ride or die.

high riding + champion arabian + mw heavy lance ftw (nice retro build )
few tips, how I play:
- watch your surroundings all the time,
- use couching lance by drifting sideway (not by going straight forward), so you cover a huge area + surprising for enemy
- use the break on your horse  a lot, keep changing your speed
- do quick slalom when you approach an archer head-on, he won't be able to hit you if you do it right
- join gk
