The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin Longsword Lancelot Skill Loop

To run the infinite skill loop on Longsword Lancelot in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, chain his gap-closing thrust into his full multi-slash flurry, follow up immediately with his repositioning sweep, and recast his reset thrust. Completing full animations allows his natural cooldown timers to sync with his skill hits, removing the need for basic attack fillers.

The Core Skill Rotation

Maintaining continuous skill casts requires following a strict sequence so that cooldown expirations match active animation frames:

Initiate with the Gap-Closing Thrust: Dash into melee range to stagger the target and trigger your initial skill-haste window.
Execute the Full Multi-Slash Flurry: Cast your multi-hit slash sequence and let every strike connect. The final hit delivers the bulk of your damage and accelerates the cooldown recovery of your repositioning skill.
Trigger the Repositioning Slash: Sweep around the enemy hitbox using the evasive finisher. Landing this strike resets the entry condition for your opening thrust.
Recast the Gap-Closing Thrust: Immediately activate the thrust art as the sweep animation finishes, looping back to step 1.

Do not interrupt the multi-slash flurry with a manual dash. Canceling the skill early forfeits the cooldown refund on the final strike, breaking the loop and forcing Lancelot to rely on standard attacks.

Why the Infinite Loop Works

Longsword Lancelot stays on the field as a sustained primary attacker rather than a quick-swap burst unit. His longsword kit operates on low baseline cooldowns that align with his animation lengths.

Because the execution time of the multi-slash flurry and the repositioning sweep mirrors the recovery timer on his thrust, completing the full sequence leaves the opening skill ready to cast immediately. The evasive frames on the repositioning slash allow you to maneuver through telegraphed boss attacks without pausing your offensive cycle.

Recommended Team Support

Because Lancelot requires extended field time to sustain his chain, build a party with off-field supports who provide passive benefits without taking up active combat seconds.

Support Archetype	Primary Function	Loop Benefit
Defensive Shielder	Grants shields or stagger resistance	Prevents heavy enemy attacks from canceling the multi-slash flurry
Energy Battery	Generates off-field burst resources	Fuels ultimate gauges to weave between completed skill loops
Off-Field Sub-DPS	Deploys lingering status auras	Adds passive elemental damage to Lancelot's high-frequency strikes

Avoid pairing Longsword Lancelot with secondary carries who demand prolonged field time. Switch off Lancelot only long enough to reapply team buffs or deploy persistent shields.

Handling Interruptions and Loop Breaks

Super-armor attacks from bosses are the main failure point for this rotation. Taking a hard knockdown or stagger during the multi-slash flurry cancels the hit-driven cooldown refund, leaving abilities on active cooldown.

Positioning: Cast the multi-slash flurry only when behind the target or when shielded against stagger.
Recovery Action: If an unavoidable boss attack forces a dodge cancel, do not fish for basic attacks in melee range. Swap briefly to an off-field support to cycle secondary buffs or refresh shields, then swap back and initiate cleanly with the thrust once its cooldown naturally expires.
