The Lancer was developed with an emphasis on defense and survivability. The machine?s main weapon is a heavy spear designed to keep adversaries at bay, and its sturdy shield generates a shock field capable of burning out a warjack?s cortex on contact. The Lancer is valued most of all, however, for its arc node. A device of unquestionable utility, the arc node allows a warcaster to extend his arcane reach across the battlefield.
