Lance: how to deal with him?

[Queen of Asgard]

ok as title says this topic its about Lance, because i REALLY need a good walkthrough. Im not anymore an hardcore player, nor a 300+ competitive but i know the basics of this game to have some fun. But since last ranks reset (maybe a bit before) most of Lance i meet gives me a really hard matchups. I understand if i use the wrong hero or just bad draw, sac etc but @#%#@*# cant be an auto loss almost all the time.

Im a Serena lover so something about rogues i know (i played only a few times lance. Not my style). I noticed a lot now have Marshal Sentinel instead of the Worm. Thats maybe im getting powned. MS+Raven and goodbye everything i have on the board.

Which hero are you using? Zaladar and Portal Maj are both good counters to Lance.

[Queen of Asgard]

Last heroes i remember i used (and got powned) by lance were


Serena
Zaladar
MS
Eladwen
Darclaw
Majiya
Banebow
Boris
Amber
Gwen

And not once or twice lol thats the problem.... Now im using Banebow and Serena mostly (looks easy to play and easy victories. For me at least)


Forgot

Zhanna WC, Zhannax & Co, Jericho.. But with them i lose with almost everyone so i dun QQ

I think the only way to learn how to beat him its to play him....but cant find a pretty lance on forum (and i dont know from what to start to pimp it anyway)

Here's a basic untuned Lance to start you off:

Lance

4 Nightshade
2 Puwen
3 Jasmine
3 Aldon
4 PotL
2 Tainted Oracle
3 Raven
3 Aeon

4 IGG
4 Stop Thief!
3 Assassinate

4 Anklebreaker

Portal Maj is the best counter to lance.
He cant keep up with multiple allies being hasted in.
At the best, he will disable 2-3 of your fatties, leaving him open to your other allies.
---OR---
Include shadowspawns in a Zal deck and its an easy win.

I personally find Boris a good answer to lance as well, since crippling blow shuts down hasted ravens and smashing blows take out ABs, + ability takes out hasted 3-4 cc drops specially Jasmines at t5.
Retreat takes care of other haste drops like EP and Aeon.

Go portal Majiya, and you will smash every single lance you meet.

Btw, Preybird's lance deck looks great

[Queen of Asgard]

Thanks Bob I just whipped it up then.
