Lancer NPC - Assassin
Core Detail Overview Stats The Assassin is a close-range striker, with high Agility, Evasion, and Speed; low Hull and Engineering, below-average Armor and Heat Cap, and average E-Defense, Sensors, and Save Target. Its HP starts out above-average in Tier 1, but it doesn’t increase at higher tiers, which means that the Assassin is decently durable at low levels but becomes increasingly frail at higher levels. Even with that quirk, though, the high mobility (which its base sys

The Sensor range isn’t


Lancer NPC - Ace
Core Detail Overview Stats Aces have a stat line that fits about where a fragile jet in a world of mechs would be expected to: high Agility, Speed, and Evasion; low Hull, HP, and Armor; and fairly average at everything else. In practice, this means they tend to be good at limiting damage from non-Smart weapons and most damaging systems (like grenades), but they’ve got clear weaknesses that players can leverage, and the high Evasion/low HP combination makes them vulnerable to
Lancer NPC Profiles Index
Inspired by the NPC guides that were started by Celeste on Reddit, I want to try writing profiles for the Lancer NPCs. I'll handle them a bit differently, so this is the general format that the posts will take: Core Details Overview Stats Going over the NPC's HASE skills and mech stat profile. Base Systems Thoughts on each of the base systems. Optional Systems Thoughts on each of the optional systems. Templates Overview How well the NPC fits with various templates.
