Hey guys! Ever dreamed of being the absolute best, the one everyone looks up to? Well, in the world of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, that means aiming for Top Global! And if you're looking to dominate with Lancelot, the Shadow Knight, then you've come to the right place. This guide will break down everything you need to know, from the core build to advanced strategies, to help you climb the ranks and maybe, just maybe, snatch that coveted Top Global spot. Let's get started!

Understanding Lancelot's Powerhouse Kit

Before we dive into builds and strategies, it's crucial to understand what makes Lancelot tick. He's not just a flashy assassin; he's a highly skilled, mechanically demanding hero with insane damage potential and unmatched mobility. His kit revolves around stacking and consuming Thorns, which grant him immunity during his skills and boost his damage. Mastering this mechanic is the key to playing Lancelot effectively.

  • Passive - Soul Cutter: This passive is the foundation of Lancelot's gameplay. When Lancelot uses a skill and hits an enemy hero, they will be marked with a Thorn. Lancelot's passive also gives him damage reduction if he doesn't have any Thorn marks on the enemy. Lancelot's Thorns can also be marked on the jungle monsters, which is very useful for him when jungling.
  • Skill 1 - Puncture: This is Lancelot's bread and butter, his primary source of damage. Lancelot dashes in the target direction, dealing physical damage. If the target is marked with Thorns, the skill also grants Lancelot the Thorns effect, which increases his physical damage. Puncture is used for both engaging and disengaging, so precision is key. A correctly timed Puncture can save you from a gank, or set up a perfect kill.
  • Skill 2 - Thorned Rose: This is where Lancelot truly shines, dealing massive damage in a fan-shaped area. The damage is very high especially at close range, so try to make sure that the enemy is very near to the target for the optimal damage output. When used correctly, it can instantly eliminate squishy targets. The timing and positioning of Thorned Rose can be the difference between a successful team fight and a complete wipe. Make sure to use Thorned Rose at maximum range to get the most damage.
  • Ultimate - Phantom Execution: Lancelot's ultimate is a devastating dash that deals massive physical damage and makes him untargetable throughout the duration. Using the ultimate correctly is very crucial to secure kills or escape from a fight. Phantom Execution is not only for damage, it also provides excellent mobility and makes it difficult for enemies to lock him down. You can use it to dodge crowd control, or reposition yourself for a follow-up attack.

Mastering Lancelot's skills is only the first step. You need to understand how they work together, how to use them to your advantage, and how to adapt to different situations.

The Optimal Lancelot Build for Dominating the Battlefield

Now, let's talk about the gear. A well-built Lancelot is a deadly Lancelot. The build can be slightly adjusted based on the enemy team composition, but here's a solid core build for achieving the Top Global level:

  1. Hunter's Knife/Star Hunter: For jungling. Start with the jungle item to boost your farming speed and gain extra experience.
  2. Warrior Boots/Tough Boots: For the boots, you can choose either of these according to the enemy team composition. If the enemy team has a lot of physical damage, then go for Warrior Boots. If the enemy team has a lot of crowd control, then go for Tough Boots.
  3. Bloodlust Axe: This is your primary source of spell vamp. It gives you sustain in fights and helps you clear jungle camps quickly. It is very useful for any assassin that needs to sustain in the field. This item is very crucial to be on Lancelot's build.
  4. Blade of Despair: This item is the core damage item of Lancelot. The damage it gives is very high, so it is crucial for Lancelot to have this item to do maximum damage.
  5. Malefic Roar: This item provides physical penetration, allowing Lancelot to shred through enemy armor, especially tanks. It is very useful when dealing with the high-armor enemies.
  6. Immortality: As the final item, Immortality provides an extra life, giving you a second chance in team fights. If the enemy team does not have a high burst damage or a lot of crowd control then you can swap this item to other defensive items, such as the Athena's Shield or Queen's Helmet. You can also build Wind of Nature to avoid physical damage, or Winter Truncheon to avoid any magical damage.

  • Emblem: Assassin Emblem, with the Agility talent for increased movement speed, Invasion for extra physical penetration, and Killing Spree for sustain and a movement speed boost after getting a kill or assist. This emblem is very crucial for Lancelot's gameplay.

  • Battle Spell: Retribution is a must-have for jungling. It increases your farming speed and allows you to secure objectives.

This build provides a balance of damage, sustain, and survivability, allowing Lancelot to effectively assassinate key targets and survive team fights. Remember, the key is to adapt your build based on the current situation, but this build is a solid foundation.

Advanced Lancelot Strategies: From Good to Global

Alright, guys, let's level up your gameplay. Knowing the build is one thing; mastering advanced strategies is what separates the good Lancelots from the Top Globals. Here's a breakdown:

  • Jungle Efficiency: Your early game is all about farming. Focus on clearing jungle camps quickly and efficiently. Use Puncture to dash through camps, and always keep an eye on the map for potential ganks. Aim to be at least level 4 before the first turtle spawn. Taking the turtle will give your team a huge advantage.
  • Ganking and Roaming: Once you have level 4, start looking for opportunities to gank. Identify vulnerable lanes and use Puncture to engage, followed by Thorned Rose and Phantom Execution to secure kills. Coordinate with your team and communicate your intentions. Ganking is all about timing and precision. Make sure to have the right timing and precision when ganking.
  • Objective Control: Objectives are crucial to winning. Secure the turtle and lord whenever possible. Use Retribution to secure these objectives. Coordinate with your team to take down towers and control the map. Don't be afraid to sacrifice yourself to secure an objective for your team.
  • Team Fight Engagement: In team fights, prioritize squishy targets like the enemy mage or marksman. Use Puncture to engage, position yourself correctly with Thorned Rose to maximize damage, and then use Phantom Execution to secure the kill or escape. Don't be afraid to go in and out of the fight, using your mobility to your advantage. Try to avoid going in when the enemy has a lot of crowd control, or the enemies have already prepared a counter for you.
  • Counter-Jungling: If you're confident, counter-jungling can be a great way to put the enemy jungler behind. Steal their buffs and disrupt their farming. This strategy is risky, so only do it if you're sure you can win the fight.
  • Map Awareness: Constantly check the mini-map. Knowing where the enemies are is crucial for both ganking and avoiding ganks. Be aware of your surroundings and anticipate enemy movements. Always check the mini-map.
  • Practice and Consistency: The most important thing is practice. Play Lancelot consistently, experiment with different builds and strategies, and learn from your mistakes. Watch high-elo players and try to emulate their gameplay. Consistency is key to improving.

Countering Lancelot: How to Survive the Shadow Knight

Even the best Lancelot can be countered. Knowing his weaknesses is important. Here's how to survive the Shadow Knight:

  • Crowd Control: Crowd control is Lancelot's worst nightmare. Heroes with stuns, silences, or knock-ups can shut him down quickly. Make sure to have a hero with crowd control in your team composition. The longer he is locked down, the more useless he is in the fight.
  • Defensive Items: Items like Athena's Shield and Dominance Ice can reduce Lancelot's damage and slow him down, making him less effective. When building tank items, try to be mindful of the enemy team composition and choose accordingly.
  • Teamwork: Lancelot thrives on picking off lone targets. Stick together as a team and avoid being caught out of position. Always be with your team.
  • Early Game Pressure: Lancelot is relatively weak in the early game. Gank his lane and put him behind in farm. Deny him gold and experience.
  • Anticipate and React: Watch for Lancelot's movements and anticipate his attacks. React quickly to crowd control him or dodge his skills.

The Path to Top Global: Dedication and Determination

Becoming a Top Global Lancelot is not an easy feat. It takes dedication, practice, and a deep understanding of the game. Here's what you need to do:

  • Practice, Practice, Practice: Play Lancelot as much as possible. Practice your mechanics, refine your strategies, and learn from your mistakes. Practice your combos, especially during the early game.
  • Analyze Your Gameplay: Watch your replays and identify your weaknesses. See where you can improve your decision-making, positioning, and skill execution.
  • Stay Updated: Keep up-to-date with the latest meta and builds. Watch pro players and streamers to learn new techniques and strategies. See what the current trend is, and try to replicate it, to improve your gameplay.
  • Team Up: Playing with a coordinated team can significantly increase your win rate. Communicate with your teammates and work together to achieve your goals.
  • Never Give Up: The road to Top Global is long and challenging. There will be ups and downs. Don't get discouraged. Keep practicing, keep learning, and keep striving for greatness.

So there you have it, guys! The ultimate guide to dominating with Lancelot and making your way to Top Global. Go out there, practice hard, and show the world what you're made of. Good luck, and happy gaming! With hard work and dedication, anyone can achieve their goals!
