Lance's Abilities

Lance's abilities are split into two categories: Active and Passive. Active abilities are used in real time by the player, while Passive abilities are equipped and provide different stat boosts and passive abilities (like being able to see in the dark.)

In addition to these abilities, Lance can find Permanent Upgrades that will give him a permanent stat boost of some kind.

All of these abilities can be bought at shops using Pretty Petals, and if you find an ability that you can't have more than one of (for instance, you buy an ability but then you find it in the game world) then it will automatically be converted to Pretty Petals.

Active Abilities

Lance's Active abilities are used by the player when they hold down the Attack button. Holding the button prepares to use the ability, while releasing it will use the ability. There is also an Auto-Ability button to help with this. See the Controls for more information.

Lance can only have one active ability set at a time, and Lance can only use the ability if he has enough Magic available to do so.

Ability Name	Magic Cost	Ability Description	Available Upgrades
Shield	45	Lance's default ability. Lance will prepare to throw the shield, during which time the player will move slowly to aim. Once Lance releases the shield, it will fly in the direction the player chose, until it either strikes an enemy or decides to return to Lance. If the shield returns to Lance successfully, the magic cost is refunded.	Homing: the shield will home in on the closest enemy or other targetable object. Wave: the shield will travel in a zigzag line, making it easier to hit fast moving enemies. Indestructible: the shield will not be destroyed on impact, but also will not refund the magic cost when it returns to Lance.
Dagger	45	Lance will prepare to throw a dagger. The longer the player holds the button down, the more powerful the dagger will be. It has 4 levels of power. Once released, Lance will throw the dagger very quickly, where it will keep going through all terrain until it either hits an enemy or flies off the screen.	Explosion: the dagger will explode on contact with an enemy, damaging nearby enemies. Piercer: the dagger will travel through enemies, losing a level of power for each enemy it hits until it eventually disappears. If Explosions is equipped, it will explode on contact with each enemy. Surplus: when the dagger hits an enemy, it will fire 4 new daggers diagonally at 1 level of power less for each time this happens.
Lance	45	Lance will prepare to throw a lance. When he throws it, it will fly in the direction the player has chosen. If it does not hit an enemy, it will "land" in a spot, hovering in midair. You can throw as many lances as you have enough magic for. Each time Lance spins, the lances will spin as well, up to 3 times. Then, they will disappear. Enemies will only take damage from a lance while it is spinning. Therefore, positioning is key.	Doubletime: the lances will disappear after 6 spins instead of 3. Javelin: the thrown lance will travel through enemies and deal damage before it settles. Grand Lance: each lance is larger than normal.

Passive Abilities

Lance can equip as many Passive Abilities as he desires. However, each Passive Ability will reduce his maximum Magic. So, if Lance has a maximum magic of 50, but he equips the Lantern ability (which costs 5) then he'll only have 45 Magic to use with active abilities. Therefore, it is not optimum to equip many Passive abilities as Lance will not be able to use Active Abilities at all.

Ability Name	Ability Cost	Ability Description
Rapid Spin	30/second	When Lance spins, the player can choose to press the Attack button again. This will cause Lance to spin faster and faster. Lance can cover great distances this way, but his Magic will be gradually depleted. This is a special ability that cannot be unequipped.
Lantern	5	Allows Lance to be able to see around himself in dark places.
Survivor	35	Allows Lance to survive any attack with 1HP left. If he takes any further damage, you will receive a Game Over.
Healer	30	Lance will gradually recover HP, whether he's in battle or not.
Double Magic	30	Equipping this ability will give Lance double the amount of magic he'd normally have, but his maximum HP will be reduced by half. You cannot equip this while Triple Magic is equipped.
Triple Magic	50	Equipping this ability will give Lance triple the amount of magic he'd normally have, but his maximum HP will be reduced to a quarter of what it normally is. You cannot equip this while Double Magic is equipped.
Distance Traveller	20	Allows Lance to go even faster with his Rapid Spin ability. Does not affect the magic cost of using the Rapid Spin ability.
Magic Saver	50	All of Lance's active ability costs are halved.
Attack Up	30	Lance's attacks will be more powerful. Equip more to increase the effect.
Defense Up	30	Lance will take less damage from attacks. Equip more to increase the effect.
