To run New Lancelot effectively in The Seven Deadly Sins PvP, equip him with an Attack and Critical Damage gear set, secure first-turn Combat Class priority, and commit his single-target attack card on turn one to knock out the opposing team's primary threat before defensive barriers activate.
Turn-by-Turn Card Rotation
Lancelot relies on early offensive momentum rather than multi-turn setups. His skill multipliers scale heavily with his own attack-related buffs and hostile debuffs. Aim his primary single-target attack directly at the enemy carry during your opening actions.
| Turn Phase | Action Order | Tactical Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Turn 1: Setup | Play an ally buff or debuff skill | Soften the priority target and trigger team offensive passives. |
| Turn 1: Burst | Cast Lancelot's single-target attack | Eliminate the opponent's main damage dealer. |
| Turn 1: Follow-Up | Cast Lancelot's AoE or second attack | Chip surviving units or remove revival shields. |
| Turn 2: Finish | Combine ranked cards or cast Ultimate Move | Clear remaining supports before defensive stances reset. |
If opening card draws do not grant a second Lancelot attack card on turn one, use the third action on low-priority ally skills to cycle cards and build Ultimate Move gauge for turn two.
Team Synergies and Turn Priority
Lancelot requires team compositions tailored around high base Combat Class (CC) and card-free stat amplification.
- Frontline Allies: Select units with passives that lower enemy defense, strip shields, or increase allied critical damage automatically. These passives allow Lancelot's rank-one cards to hit lethal thresholds without wasting card actions on manual setups.
- Backline Support: Use a sub-slot ally that boosts basic team stats or adds substantial Combat Class padding.
Securing the first turn is mandatory. Because Lancelot has no native revive, damage-reduction shields, or immortality mechanics, moving second leaves him vulnerable to enemy burst damage before his self-buffs activate.
Gear Sets and Substat Targets
Maximize raw damage output over tankiness to ensure Lancelot clears targets in a single rotation:
- Equipment Set: Four-piece Attack set combined with a two-piece Critical Damage set. While HP and Defense gear offers more Combat Class, it lowers his burst ceiling and prevents one-shot eliminations against high-durability targets.
- Top Pieces (Bracer and Ring): Roll standard Attack percentage substats. Avoid splitting substat lines into Pierce Rate or Critical Chance to maintain consistent baseline damage against opponents with high critical resistance.
- Middle Pieces (Necklace and Earrings): Roll standard Defense percentage substats.
- Bottom Pieces (Belt and Rune): Roll standard HP percentage substats to balance overall stat scaling and Combat Class contribution.
Handling Stances, Taunts, and Crowd Control
Lancelot is susceptible to hard crowd control effects such as Freeze and Petrify, as well as damage-reflection stances:
- Against Taunt Tanks: Assess whether Lancelot's opening burst can break through the tank's active defensive buffs on turn one. If the tank is too heavily fortified, preserve Lancelot's prime attack cards and spend the turn playing utility skills to prepare his Ultimate Move.
- Against Damage-Reflection Stances: Avoid deploying Lancelot's high-damage cards directly into active reflection shields without first dispelling the stance.

Good guide for The Seven Deadly Sins players. The strategy part was useful.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Nice guide. I am checking the other The Seven Deadly Sins articles next.
This saved me time in the early game.
