Lancelot

Introduction
Lancelot is a heavy bot released alongside Gareth and Galahad. It features a fixed frontal shield as well as a Rush Mode.

Lancelot comes equipped with many special abilities, which makes it an extremely powerful robot in battle. It's Rush Mode can be activated to quickly close in on opponents or for retreat, and its fixed physical shield can block most projectiles. Similarly to a Raijin, Lancelot's shield is actually composed of three separate pieces which can each be blown off separately.

The Lancelot has one heavy slot and two medium slots, which can provide heavy damage outputs. Equipping it with an ECC Thunder and dual Tarans or Orkans can make a devastating knife fighter. Mid range builds such as one Trident and two Tulumbuses can also be effective. However, it is recommended to build Lancelot as a knife fighter instead, as it can gain full use of its abilities.

Despite its intimidating appearance, Lancelot's size is its main flaw. Its extremely wide and large surface area makes it easy homing missiles to land a hit. Aphids can extremely effective against Lancelot when not in Rush Mode, as its slow speed makes it too slow to run away from hit and run robots. Even AT Spirals are effective to an extent. Although wall-hugging is usually a good counter to homing missiles, Lancelot's surface area still acts as a net, catching most missiles anyway. Splash damage weapons such as Tulumbuses are also very effective at hitting such a large target. Due to these, Lancelot must make full use of its Rush Mode, moving between cover and escaping harms way.
