To prepare for Lancelot in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin Version 2.2, stop spending summon currency on interim banners and stockpile universal upgrade materials before the update arrives. The Version 2.2 preview establishes Lancelot as an upcoming high-mobility offensive unit. Preparing your account now prevents resource waste and ensures you can level him immediately if you pull him.
Summon Currency and Pity Management
Guaranteeing a featured rate-up character requires securing pity before the banner goes live. Pulling on non-essential banners directly ahead of a major version update leaves your account vulnerable to missing the debut.
| Strategy | Target Player | Draw Resource Allocation | Primary Trade-Off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Hoard | Free-to-play and light spenders | Save 100% of summon tickets and diamonds | Pauses interim standard banner progression |
| Soft Target | Accounts seeking specific milestones | Pull only on discounted draws; bank the remainder | Slower savings rate; risks falling short of debut pity |
| Day-One Guarantee | Players prioritizing Lancelot exclusively | Convert all quest, event, and achievement income to rate-up currency | Locks out spending on all concurrent active banners |
To maximize savings before the Version 2.2 patch:
- Finish uncollected world exploration rewards and outstanding side quests across Britannia.
- Claim all completed achievement rewards.
- Collect daily login bonuses and clear out limited-time event exchange shops.
Universal Material Farming Priorities
Spend daily stamina on generic resources rather than targeted boss drops. Because Lancelot's exact talent items and regional materials may arrive in new domains introduced in Version 2.2, farming specific current boss nodes risks wasting stamina.
- Universal Character EXP Books: Stockpile standard experience items to raise Lancelot's base level immediately upon acquisition.
- General Weapon Refinement Ores: Bank standard enhancement ores so his equipped weapon can be upgraded without delay.
- Baseline Gold: Accumulate a large reserve of gold, as weapon ascension, skill rank increases, and gear upgrades require significant currency on launch day.
Support Unit Preparation
Lancelot operates as an active front-line carry who benefits from fast-paced tag-in combat. Building compatible support characters ahead of time ensures his team operates effectively without forcing you to build multiple units simultaneously on patch day.
- Crowd Control and Gathering: Level enablers that group scattered enemies together so Lancelot's burst strikes hit entire packs rather than single targets.
- Status Application: Prepare off-field or rapid-swap units capable of applying sustained elemental statuses to feed tag-in reaction damage.
- Buff and Energy Generators: Invest in supports that boost attack power or supply ultimate charge during prolonged fights. Thematic picks such as Ban (resistance debuffs) and Elaine (field control) provide practical baseline utility for offensive rotations.
Day-One Pull Considerations
Unless your account entirely lacks an offensive carry, wait 24 to 48 hours after the Version 2.2 maintenance ends before spending your saved currency. Early previews highlight attack animations and mobility, but live damage testing determines actual skill multipliers, cooldown alignments, and endgame domain viability. If community testing confirms strong kit scaling and your roster needs a mobile damage dealer, proceed to pull. If your existing carries already cover his combat role, holding your currency preserves resources for future roster needs.

Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
This saved me time in the early game.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
