Due to the current meta, most players use Ancile/Taran. This grants the Lancelot some protection from rockets (Especially DB) which are very common in the higher leagues. Its physical shield also means that it is protected from plasma (fired towards its front, which most players do).

The Lancelot relies heavily on its shield, as its health isn't anything special for a heavy robot.

Pros: Has Rush, 3 physical shields, protected from plasma and high firepower

Cons: Relatively slow speed, large target, vulnerable to rockets

The Ancile grants it extra resistance to rocket builds. Whilst this renders it invulnerable to Zenits, Noricums, Hydras, Spirals, Aphids, Vortex and Thermite builds, most DB/Orkan builds (Especially Dashes) will be able to overload the Ancile, and the Lance's firepower is drastically reduced. Twin tarans is still quite a bit of firepower, and the Ancile means that the Lance should survive the salvo instead of being destroyed.
