Lance Knight

Lance Knight is a character in Dissidia Calamitas Infinita. In Kings of Strife, she was a silent and mysterious individual who was one of Ouroboros' Serpent Knights. She traveled the world for the group, gathering Crystals and destroying all opposition, even coming into contact with mercenaries after her objectives. Despite witnessing first hand what Ouroboros is after - complete annihilation of 75% of the world and a new form of transhuman - she continues to battle with unwavering intensity. The reason behind her infalliable loyalty is unknown, as is most other personal details, but cannot be disputed.

Appearance
The Lance Knight's default appearance consists of a full suit of armor with oversized shoulder and thigh plates. The armor is dark silver with red and dark green accents, and is cut up and scratched from various battles. A long, flowing red cape billows out from under the armor. She doesn't wear a helmet, revealing a beautiful yet hardy face with long, curly blond hair.

Her first alternate costume, Midriff Exposed, leaves no armor for her torso save a skimpy chain bikini. Her cape is torn and goes down to her back, and her leg and most arm armor is gone. In her second alternate, Odin's Spear, the Lance Knight dons heavy leg armor with wing motifs and a light top with a wide skirt. She also wears arm bracers and a crimson tiara upon her head.

The 6th Cycle
The Lance Knight is first summoned in this cycle, and spends most of it wandering the battlefields lost and confused. She stays near Eris' throne and laments her situation. In successive cycles, her wanderlust begins to get replaced with anger and drive to return to the vague memories of her world.

The 8th Cycle
It is in this cycle that the Lance Knight really begins to meet her fellow Warriors of Madness, and the cycle that she first meets Coatl Midgard. He manages to convince her to work with him, and she only agrees because of an unconscious sense of companionship. Over time, however, he begins to attempt to use her for actions other than attacking enemies, and her disgust for him builds. The two end up becoming detached.

The 9th Cycle
Lance Knight confronts Fick during this cycle, and after repeated conflicts Fick mentions something about the gods and the warrior's collective curse. The Knight is intrigued by this and confronts Eris. She learns only of Genesis, the force behind summoning the warriors for the cycles, and begins to gain back some memories from her exposure. At first, she remembers her Lord and her devotion to him, and her entire mentality changes. She becomes aggressive and volatile to warriors regardless of their alignment, focusing on fighting and winning to gain power.

The 10th Cycle
After the last cycle ends, the Lance Knight returns with more vague memories but the same goals. She battles any warrior who doesn't follow her paths of ideals, and uses these battles to hone her strength for her eventual battle of Genesis. She hopes to defeat him and use his power to summon her Leader of Ouroboros and serve under him, the burning goal and desire behind her every action. She begins to fight warriors of both Light and Madness, allying with only those who she approves of (in other words, very few people).

Before long, she meets Lillian Enroth in her quest, and the two become fast enemies. Both of them clash, one fighting for ideals and loyal rules and one fighting for her freedom. The two viciously battle and Lilli constantly blocks Lance's path, and yet is strong enough to not be crushed like the others.

12th Cycle
In her final cycle, the Lance Knight focuses more on usurping Genesis than her past cycles instead of simply attacking those in her way. This stems from her mounting restlessness in the war's dimension and her rival's continued resurrection. She comes dangerously close to actually defeating Genesis, but Coatl manages to land a killing blow on her while she is focusing on her battle. Even with her fatal wounds, she battles Coatl one more time before she dies.

Due to her aggressive nature towards the gods and her defiance of the war's basic rules, she isn't brought back to fight in the next cycle.

Battle
 Lance Knight  Flashing Lancer - Assaults with incredible speed and power.

As the Flashing Lancer, the Lance Knight is very skilled in offense. Despite the huge size of her weapon and its cumbersome design, she attacks enemies with blazing speed and incredible power. In addition, due to the large size of her weapon and her agility, many of her attacks have an impressive range. On the other hand, her attacks can become predictable with prolonged battle and her defensive capabilities are low, if existent at all. Her attack and speed are stellar while her defense, HP, and luck are substandard at best.

EX Mode
Lance Knight's EX Mode is The Serpent's Knight. She dons a helmet in the same pattern as her armor and her cape glows with a bright crimson tint. The range and power of her lance grows as a giant olive serpent slithers around it and her arm. She also gains Regen for the duration of her EX Mode.

Lance Knight's EX Burst is Spacial Rend. She slams the enemy upward with her lance and then pulls out a Crystal from under her cape as the skies erupt into storms. She rushes towards the enemy and begins attacking them furiously, and the player must mash LT and RT in time with her rapidly quickening attacks. If they all land without fail, she tosses the Crystal towards the enemy and attacks both of them with a mighty slash, tearing space itself in two. If at least one attack misses, she throws the Crystal away and slams the enemy downwards for HP damage.
