Skill and battlefield behavior
A stronger mounted stage with speed and charge pressure before the final Lancer evolution. This is a role description rather than an invented numeric stat card; the current in-game unit panel remains the source of truth for damage, health, speed, block health, and range.
Counters and matchups
| Favorable into | Watch out for |
|---|---|

Evolution and unlock path
Scout Rider → Cavalryman → Lancer. Evolution requires Mastery Level 20 according to current roster references. Check the live evolution screen before spending resources because costs and requirements can change.
Best formation partners
Pair Cavalryman with Mace and Spear Vanguard. The aim is to cover a different battlefield job: a frontline protects ranged damage, spears discourage cavalry, and mobility punishes exposed backlines.
