Signature abilities
Detailed ability breakdowns
These signature abilities now fire in battle with their own damage and cooldowns — a bigger skill or ultimate hits harder, and the two healers restore HP instead of striking. Still on the way here on the site: the full per-ability breakdown (exact multipliers and effects), plus deeper mechanics like status effects and multi-target hits.
Lore
The Heavy Lancer came up through the Solstice Lance Houses — the imperial cavalry tradition that survives, with thinning ranks, in the open-plain provinces north of the capital. He was apprenticed at thirteen to a third-house aunt with a string of seventeen blooded chargers and a temper measured in fractions of an inch on the lance head. He passed his Lance Trial at nineteen by breaking a four-rank pike-line in a single drive, which is one rank deeper than the Trial requires; the aunt did not congratulate him afterwards. She never once did.
His combat doctrine is a precision sport built out of physics. The Charge Break drill the Lance Houses teach is a measured commitment — at sixty paces the rider chooses a target, at thirty paces the rider locks the seat, at fifteen paces it is too late to stop and the only failure mode left is to do it badly. He runs the count out loud in his head every time. He has been told that several of his colleagues mouth the count visibly during the approach; he does not, but he has stopped correcting them. The Grand Lancefall ultimate the imperial doctrine credits to the Lance Houses is, in his view, what the Charge Break already does, only with three more horses behind it and a legend attached.
The Heavy Lancer was at Hedra Pass on the imperial side, three ranks deep in the second column, and he does not speak about it. The aunt's seventeen chargers were down to nine by the end of that engagement, and three of those died in the following winter. He has not visited her since the campaign closed; their letters arrive on a bi-monthly cadence and contain almost no information that could not be read from the imperial gazette. The plain-truth between them is an aging argument neither expects to settle, and this current war has not produced a moment quiet enough to try.
