SEASON 42 PROFILE
Blade of RosesSoul Cutter increases damage whenever Lancelot moves, Puncture can reset on unmarked targets, and Thorned Rose strikes an area three times. His mobility requires a planned route; dashing through the same target twice loses the reset meant to carry him out.

HOW TO PLAY
During the route, order Puncture targets to preserve resets. Entering a lane without available minions reduces the exits.
Use Thorned Rose when the enemy is near its centre and keep Phantom Execution to cross the response or finish the kill.
In final fights, map a route in and out through heroes and minions before touching the back line.

QUICK ANSWERS
Lancelot is currently played mainly in Jungle. The guide separates the recommended builds by lane or job, so choose that tab before copying the six items.
Start with «Jungle Pickoff Default». The other options, «Snowball Execute» and «Bruiser Reset», are there for a different lane or match-up; they are not cosmetic variations.
Angela, Bane and Alucard are the first counters to consider. Angela absorbs the execution, while Cyclops locks Lancelot down even as he tries to continue his movement chain.
3 non-default skins have confirmed availability at this review. 9 more are limited or upcoming, with the original acquisition method recorded. Check the current event or shop in your client before spending.
