The Lancer would technically be a lance or a spear, a one-hit sword. It's damage would be Piercing. It would be possibly about 1.5x larger than Leviathan.
Basic attack: Stab - A Knight would spear an enemy in front of it, also stepping forward.
Charge attack: Spear - This is the main utility of the Lancer. After charging the Lancer, the Knight would literally charge forward a wide distance (i.e. the distance of Polaris's shots before it becomes bigger). The upside would be that it would push any enemies in front of the Knight along with it, allowing the player to become a sort of moving wall.
+: It's a powerful, one-hit spear that rushes enemies. It can be used strategically in party play, as it can be used to push enemies around to give time for bomber and gunners to prepare/attack. Additionally, it can be used to create pinpoint strikes from far away. Also, it can be used to hit multiple enemies in a line (i.e. turrets).
-: It's a slow weapon that moves a lot. You are vulnerable to bullets, enemy attacks, etc. when attacking. If not used correctly, it will cause an easy death. If used correctly, it has great utility at moving enemies away from other party members.
Make the 5* non-status one Lance-a-lot :D
