'''Lancers''' are a type of fast-moving [[mechanoid]], with strong mid-long range firepower.

==Summary==
All mechanoids are hostile to the colony, unable to be tamed or trained. They do not eat and are immune to [[toxic fallout]] and temperature extremes, despite having a Comfortable Temperature range. All mechanoids are vulnerable to [[EMP]] attacks.

Mechanoids can be found sealed in ancient ruins in all biomes, which spawn inside mountains or outside on the landscape. They may also raid the player's base through [[events]] and can also be found in most [[Crashed Ship Part#Poison Ship|poison ships]] and [[Crashed Ship Part#Psychic Ship|psychic ships]]. Pikemen are often supported by [[centipede]]s, [[scyther]]s, and [[pikemen]].

Lancers have a [[shooting accuracy]] of 96%, equivalent to a pawn with a [[Shooting]] skill of 8. They have a [[melee hit chance]] of 62%, equivalent to a pawn with a [[Melee]] skill of 4.

===Scrapping===
Dead lancers may be shredded at a [[machining table]] or [[crafting spot]] for 15 [[steel]], though these values are affected by [[Mechanoid Shredding Efficiency|mechanoid shredding efficiency]] as well as any missing parts on the lancer.

===Combat===
Lancers come equipped with the [[charge lance]], which can deal 30 damage per hit and a range of over 29 tiles, making them a threatening foe.

===Armor===

== Analysis ==
{{main|Defense tactics#Lancers}}

The DPS of a lancer is low compared to a centipede or scyther, but their slow-firing [[charge lance]] deals tremendous one-shot damage, enough to take out limbs and organs in 1 hit if not wearing good armor.  They don't fire very often, but when they do it hurts.

Lancers play an offensive role, providing firepower to pick off lone colonists while centipedes mow down groups and scythers charge your gunners. Lancers will quickly charge until they are in range, at which point they will stay at maximum range to fire. They will not move around to seek cover, or avoid incoming fighters.  Lancers are often supported by [[centipede]]s and [[scyther]]s, though they outrun centipedes by a huge margin, and will not stop to let them catch up.

Lancers have a moderate resistance to sharp damage and a small resistance to blunt damage but somewhat low health, making them trivial to disable at range with sufficient firepower. Lancers are vulnerable to [[spike trap]]s, with only a few hits required to kill them. They should be priority targets during the early game, as your pawns will likely lack armor to prevent dismemberment.  

As the description says, charging lancers can be a viable way to take them down, once you have taken care of any scythers.

== Health ==
===Biology===
Lancers, although mechanical and not very human-looking, are actually almost the same in structure as a typical human (minus the organs). However, they're more durable than humans, don't feel pain and ''do not fear for their life'' - they don't even use cover. This can make them very dangerous to fight against when under-armed.

They have two arms, run on two legs, and (surprisingly) have a neck and make vocal communication. Why a machine would use standard human-like air-based vocalization is unknown at this time - especially when Centipedes are completely unable to manually communicate.

====Diet====
Much like Centipedes, it's unknown what exactly drives a Lancer, but it's likely it would be similar to whatever powers the Centipede.

===Body Parts (Summary)===
Lancers, again, are practically humans in biology, although they lack many of the human organs and bones.

<!-- *Note: Scythers have a health scale of '''1.5''' - meaning their parts have &times;1.5 the health of body parts listed in the files.-->

== Trivia ==
A real life “Lancer” is a soldier who is armed with a Lance, and while the Lancer isn’t armed with a traditional lance. the [[charge lance]] variant they wield gives them their “Lancer” status.

== Version history ==
In 1.1 they now have 200% heat armor, essentially making them completely immune to fire damage. Since the charge lance was nerfed, they also suffered from a range reduction.

-Mechs under player control{{BiotechIcon}} require power: lancers use 10% of their power per day while active.  If set to dormant self-charging, they instead recharge for 1% power / day, without pollution. They recharge in a [[large mech recharger]] (400W), for 50% power/day, creating 15 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste is filled up.

-Mechanoids can raid the player's base through [[events]], and are found in most [[Crashed Ship Part#Poison Ship|poison ships]], [[Crashed Ship Part#Psychic Ship|psychic ships]], and [[mech cluster]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}.
-Lancers are fast-moving attackers. They will seek out colonists until they can fire, in which they will stay at maximum range to fire. While defending stationary threat (like a psychic ship), mechanoids will only continue to chase if a colonist is a close enough. They will not move around to seek cover, or avoid incoming fighters. They tend to run ahead of slower mechanoids like [[centipede]]s, and won't stop to let them catch up. Their armor is not especially good, so lancers aren't difficult to take out.

-Lancers are analagous to human colonists. They move at similar speeds (and are slightly faster), have a similar health, and even use a human weapon. While they don't have quite the same firepower as a [[centipede]] (let alone bulk), lancers move much faster, allowing them to be used in strategies alongside ordinary colonists. As a lancer feels no [[pain]] and is easily repaired, they should be on the frontlines, and can be used in generally riskier positions than their organic counterparts.
-[[Tesseron]]s are another ranged, fast, medium-size mechanoid. Lancers are better against high armored targets, like other mechanoids, or when targets arrive in low numbers: whenever separated, killed quickly in a [[killbox]], or when their actual quantity is low. Meanwhile, a tesseron's beam graser excels at hitting clumped up groups, such as tribals. The [[legionary]] is another fast mechanoid, but is clearly meant for shield utility rather than raw combat.
