Lancer

Lancers are common enemies who are found in High Peak Castle.

Behavior
Lancers may attack in 4 directions, directly upwards or downwards, and to the left or right. They can see The Beheaded when it appears right below or above them even with floor obstruction, and attack with a single stab. If Lancers are attacking horizontally, they attack with three stabs.


 * The three stab combo can be turned to face the Beheaded if he gets to the opposite side of the Lancer at the beginning of the combo.
 * Horizontal strikes go through walls and can hit the player if the wall is thin enough.

Strategy

 * All of the Lancers attacks can be avoided by dodging. However the 3-stab combo may hit the Beheaded if it is still in the combo when the roll finishes. Only horizontal attacks can be parried, while vertical ones will simply be unaffected if an attempt is made to parry them.
