Lancelot, known as the Drowning Knight of the Lake, is a powerful HP-scaling tank who excels at protecting the team through damage reduction and self-sustaining shields. Her unique kit revolves around HP-based damage and healing, making her nearly unkillable when properly built. She provides excellent team-wide damage reduction while maintaining strong survivability through her passive healing and shield generation.
