* PowerCreep: Almost every Lancer in the game has at least two Quick cards in their deck (Kagetora and Romulus-Quirinus being the sole exceptions). However, the Lancers of the game's early lifespan have suffered from their poor Critical Star Drop Rates and low hit counts, making it difficult for them to drop Critical Stars, even with Quick Chains. This is noticeable with Lancers with Critical Hit-focused skillsets, who are unable to drop enough Critical Stars for them to gather. Similarly, those Lancers also tend to suffer from poor NP Gain, thus they take longer to fill their NP Gauge. Many of the later Lancers eventually have far more efficient Critical Star Drops and better NP Gain than their senior colleagues. To keep the seniors relevant, many of them were given BalanceBuff.

Lancer, the Knight of the Lance and Heroic Spirit of the Lance, is one of the seven normal Servant classes summoned for the Holy Grail War and considered one of the three Knight classes along with Saber and Archer. Servants placed within this class, many of which are Heroic Spirits who were knights, are very agile, proficient in hit-and-run tactics that capitalize on range and speed, and skilled with long-range melee weapons such as spears and lances.

* PowerCreep: One of the most characteristics of the game's Lancers is that almost all of them have at least two Quick cards in their deck (Kagetora being the sole exception), with the 2 Buster 2 Quick 1 Arts layout being essentially "the Lancer deck" in the same way that 2 Buster 2 Arts 1 Quick layout is considered one for Saber. The problem with this is the Lancers who have 2 Arts and 2 Quick would get penalized NP gain on Arts and Quick or even both for theoritically having better NP gain card layout(as buster doesn't generate NP gauge naturally), while due to how underpowered Quick as a mechanic are, the servants with 2 Buster and 2 Quick would have problem generating NP through cards especially with less possible Arts chain. Combined with the lower hitcount of these Quick cards, and older Lancer servants would have problems in general even building up stars, let alone getting them to crits without extra help. While this issue can be found on other class, on Lancers DW's insistent attempts on fixing this is very apparent. Not only Lancers generally get the increased hitcount across the board that is expected of newer servants, both variations of Lancer's common deck generally get better overtime. To put this into perspective, while the average NP gain on 2 Buster 2 Quick servant is 2.0 on Quick cards, every servants released after the Babylon Singularity would have AT LEAST 2.8 NP gain on their quick which is a massive improvement. Even Lancer Raikou, and Ereshkigal, the exception to the rule have an alternative means of gaining card based NP gauge through their absurdly powerful Arts card. In an attempt to recitify this for older servants, Lancer class generally had some of the highest amount of BalanceBuff in the game, notably with Tamamo-no-Mae Lancer being the only single target SSR Lancer without an np upgrade.

* FragileSpeedster: One of the defining characteristics of most Lancers is that they tend to have a rather high Agility stat (usually around A-rank).. by comparison, however, their Endurance stat is often around C-rank at best. In gameplay terms, most Lancers are damage dealers with no defensive abilities and most generally have a Quick-oriented deck with a Quick-based Noble Phantasm (usually QQABB setup, but some have a QQAAB setup, especially Arts-oriented Lancers like Fionn and Li Shuwen).

** A ''lot'' of Irish Servants tend to be Lancers, or at least have a Lancer version. Of the six Irish servants (not counting alternate copies of themselves), the only ones who ''aren't'' able to be Lancers (at this point) are Medb (Rider and Saber) and Fergus mac Róich (Saber-only).
