Lancer (ランサー , ^?), Knight of the Lance, is one of the seven normal Servant classes summoned for the Holy Grail War and considered one of the Three Knight classes along with Saber and Archer. Servants placed within this class, many of which are Heroic Spirits who were knights, are very agile, proficient in hit-and-run tactics that capitalize on range and speed, and skilled with long-range melee weapons such as spears and lances. The qualifying conditions to be placed within the class are second only to the Saber class, requiring overall excellent attributes and a high agility attribute. Their only particular class ability is Magic Resistance and Battle Continuation(in Fate/Extra).

Unformatted by a Heroic Spirit, the base parameters of the Lancer-class container are: Strength B, Endurance C, Agility A, Mana D, and Luck E.^[1]
