Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Lancelot Combo and Jungle Reset Guide

To execute Lancelot's kit effectively in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, you must dash through unmarked targets sequentially with his first skill, Puncture, to refresh its cooldown while stacking his Soul Cutter passive to its 30% damage ceiling before unleashing your burst abilities. Mismanaging your dashes puts Puncture on its full cooldown, leaving you without mobility or escape options.

Chaining Puncture and Sword Mark Resets

Puncture allows Lancelot to charge forward, dealing physical damage and applying a Sword Mark to the first unmarked enemy struck. Hitting an unmarked target instantly refreshes Puncture's cooldown. Striking an enemy that already carries a Sword Mark triggers the full skill cooldown.

To maintain continuous mobility during skirmishes and teamfights:

• Aim along formation edges: Dashing straight through clumped enemies applies marks to multiple targets at once. While this grants a single reset, it burns all available reset targets in that area simultaneously.
• Dash sequentially: Thread your dashes in a clear line—first through an approaching minion, then an off-tank, and finally into an enemy carry.
• Disengage on a missed reset: If you misjudge an angle and trigger Puncture's standard cooldown, retreat toward allied protection immediately instead of attempting to force an engage with your remaining cooldowns.

Stacking Soul Cutter for Maximum Burst

Lancelot’s passive, Soul Cutter, grants a 7.5% damage boost for four seconds every time he executes a dash or blink. This effect stacks up to four times for a total 30% damage increase. Casting Thorned Rose or Phantom Execution without passive stacks significantly reduces your burst threshold.

The standard engagement sequence chains Puncture through a minion (one stack), through an enemy frontline hero (two stacks), and through an off-target angle (three to four stacks) directly into the enemy backline before casting Thorned Rose.

Timing Invulnerability Windows

Both Thorned Rose (second skill) and Phantom Execution (ultimate) provide untargetable invulnerability frames (i-frames) during their casting animations.

• Thorned Rose: Lancelot strikes three times in a triangular area, dealing extra damage and applying a heavy movement speed slow to enemies caught in the center. He cannot be targeted or damaged during the animation.
• Phantom Execution: Lancelot dashes forward with a piercing thrust after a short charge-up, remaining invulnerable throughout the dash.

Hold Thorned Rose to absorb high-threat crowd control projectiles or burst skills, such as targeted stuns or airborne knockups, rather than casting it prematurely. If you must use Phantom Execution defensively to avoid lethal damage, direct the dash backward to escape rather than re-engaging without offensive cooldowns.

Early Jungle Path and Objective Execution

Begin at the Blue Buff to manage energy consumption and benefit from early cooldown reduction.

1. Clear the Blue Buff camp to secure sustained skill usage.
2. Contest the Lithowanderer in the river for early vision and gold.
3. Clear the Red Buff and adjacent small camps to reach level 4 before the two-minute mark.
4. Rotate toward the gold lane for an initial gank before setting up for the first Turtle spawn.

When securing the Turtle against an enemy jungler, stack Soul Cutter on the objective and surrounding targets with Puncture, cast Thorned Rose centered on the Turtle to shred its remaining health, and combine your Retribution smite with the final hit of Thorned Rose or Phantom Execution to secure the kill cleanly.

Core Item Build

Lancelot scales best with flat physical penetration and cooldown reduction to amplify the percentage increase provided by Soul Cutter.

• Ice Hunter's Tough Boots: Provides resilience against crowd control, movement speed, and a slowing Retribution to help align center hits with Thorned Rose.
• Blade of the Heptaseas: Adds flat physical penetration, bonus health, physical attack, and an ambush damage proc on opening attacks.
• Hunter Strike: Grants physical attack, cooldown reduction, armor penetration, and a temporary movement speed boost upon landing multiple hits.
• Endless Battle: Delivers cooldown reduction, lifesteal, mana sustain, and true damage procs after casting skills.
• Blade of Despair: Supplies high base physical attack and accelerates execution damage against targets below 50% health.
• Malefic Roar: Grants percentage-based armor penetration to pierce high-defense tanks and bruisers in late-game teamfights.
