Sorry to disappoint you, but your gold would be better spent elsewhere (anticontrol/last stand modules, pilot promotions, maybe MK2). Lance gets crushed, melted, and vaporized by mostly every robot you'll encounter past master III andi nto champs. The rush ability doesn't compensate for a wide hitbox and minimal protection against today's meta - all the ao juns, pantheon bots, suppression bots, and other "premium" choices will see a lance as free honor points.

If you already bought one, hopefully you have the +5% durability skin. Go either plasma death button w/ ancile or something with coronas/storms. Mid/long range might work, but you'll find that spectres will outperform you. You'll have to be VERY tactical with your positioning and targeting, as lance is much more fragile than it looks. Getting locked down and then eating a full retribution from ares or flames from ao jun means you'll die fast.
