• Goddard’s Vengeance: Fires a shoulder-mounted rocket that deals heavy explosive damage and knocks back enemies. You get two shots per life, making it a solid finisher or area-clear tool.
• Smokestack Lightning: Tosses out a gadget that creates a wide smoke wall wherever it lands, perfect for covering pushes or cutting off sightlines.
• Cherry Bomb: Deploys a cluster of energy mines that trigger when enemies get close. After a short delay, they explode—ideal for locking down entryways or catching unaware players.

Whether you’re disrupting enemy pushes or leading the charge, Broker brings the boom.

#12: Nitro

Nitro is all about locking down areas and holding the line. Whether you’re defending a site or creating space to push forward, her loadout makes her a powerhouse for control-oriented players. She excels at creating fortified zones with turrets and barriers, while also providing valuable intel with her drone.

If you like setting up your own stronghold or anchoring your team’s defense, Nitro is your go-to Lancer.

#11: Hollowpoint

Hollowpoint is the ultimate pick for players who enjoy a mix of long-range precision and tactical intel-gathering. Her kit revolves around spotting enemies before they spot you and picking them off with deadly accuracy. She’s especially deadly in open maps or when holding tight angles.

Hollowpoint’s Skills:
• Meteora: Equips a high-powered railgun that charges while aiming down sights. The longer you charge, the more damage it deals—and it also reveals enemy locations on hit. Ammo regenerates passively, so timing your shots is key.
• Smoke Screen: Launches a smokescreen that moves forward and outlines enemies caught inside it. With two uses per life, it’s perfect for pushing into a site or catching enemies trying to escape.

If you like outsmarting opponents and taking them out from a distance, Hollowpoint’s the sniper-scout hybrid built just for that.

#10: Jaguar

Jaguar is all about control and disruption. He thrives when catching enemies off guard, locking them down, and exposing their weaknesses for the team to capitalize on. If you like setting traps and tracking your prey before striking, Jaguar is your kind of Lancer.

Jaguar’s Skills:
• Live Wire: Toss out an electric trap that zaps enemies, slowing them and dealing consistent damage. With two charges per life, it’s perfect for locking down chokepoints or setting clever ambushes.
• Electric Avenue: Projects a cage of electricity that surrounds enemies in front of you, cutting off their line of sight and limiting movement. It’s ideal for isolating a target or disrupting a push. Two uses per life.
• I Can See for Miles: Boosts Jaguar’s speed and reveals enemies either affected by his other abilities or low on health. It’s a great way to chase down weakened targets or scout ahead. Also has two uses per life.

Jaguar rewards patient players who enjoy laying traps and then striking when the time is right. His mix of utility and aggression makes him a strong pick in the right hands.

#9: Chum

Chum is a chaotic damage-dealer who thrives on unpredictability and disruption. With his trusty robot companion Chomper by his side, he brings a unique playstyle that mixes aggressive pressure with smoke control and explosive surprises.

• Explosive Bait: Throw a sticky explosive that detonates when triggered. Feeding this to Chomper puts him in Explosive Mode, causing him to follow Chum and charge into enemies before blowing up. You get three uses per life, making it great for setting up ambushes or breaking enemy formations.
• Smoking Bait: A thrown device that explodes into a smokescreen upon impact. When given to Chomper, it activates Smoke Mode, causing him to emit a constant trail of smoke wherever he goes. You can guide him by holding the fire button. Comes with two uses per life and adds a strong utility element to Chum’s toolkit.

Chum is perfect for players who enjoy juggling offense with tricky utility. Whether you’re sending Chomper into the fray or filling a site with smoke, this Lancer keeps enemies guessing at every turn.

#8: Corona

Corona is a high-impact Lancer built for players who love staying on the offensive. With flame-infused abilities and tools to disrupt enemy vision and movement, he thrives in chaotic skirmishes where he can pressure enemies from multiple angles.

• Hothead: After a brief charge, Corona emits a flash that blinds any enemies looking at him directly. This ability is great for disrupting enemy pushes, breaking line-of-sight, or setting up clean entry plays.

With strong area denial, fast movement, and vision-based utility, Corona is a great pick for players who like to take control of the fight and keep their enemies guessing.

Serket is a versatile Lancer who thrives on controlling the battlefield and setting up plays for her team. Her skillset is perfect for disorienting enemies, locking down chokepoints, and flanking from unexpected angles.

Serket’s Skills:
• Station to Station: This is her signature mobility tool. Serket becomes invisible for a short moment and places a beacon anywhere in range. She can then teleport to that beacon within a limited time. While the beacon is active, it reveals nearby enemies as sandstorm silhouettes, giving her both intel and escape options. It has two uses per life.

#6: Pathojen

Pathojen brings a unique mix of utility and support to the battlefield, making her one of the most flexible Lancers in FragPunk. She’s not only the game’s only dedicated healer at launch but also brings tools for area control and disruption, all while being immune to poison herself thanks to her passive.

Pathojen’s Skills:
• Emotional Rescue: Deploys a healing device that creates a zone where teammates can regenerate health over time. It’s perfect for regrouping after a fight or holding down a key area. It has two uses per life and gradually recharges.
• Shroom Wall: Summons a wall of mushrooms that can block paths, doors, or sightlines. It’s destructible, but great for stalling enemy pushes or giving cover in open fights. Two uses per life, with recharge.
• Killer Queen: A toxic trap that damages enemies over time when they enter its radius. It can also be detonated manually, making it versatile for both defense and ambushes. It recharges over time and has two uses.
• Chemical Romance (Passive): Pathojen is completely immune to poison effects, giving her an edge when facing other poison-based Lancers or specific Shard Cards.

#5: Zephyr

Zephyr is a high-risk, high-reward Lancer built for players who love sneaky plays and catching enemies off guard. Her entire kit revolves around stealth, mobility, and quick escapes, making her deadly in the right hands—especially if you’re good at flanking or moving undetected.

Zephyr’s Skills:
• Midnight Rambler: Activates an advanced cloaking ability that shifts between full invisibility and partial visibility. While cloaked, Zephyr can only use melee weapons, and the stealth breaks if she takes damage or switches to guns. You get three uses per life, perfect for repositioning or sneaking up behind enemies.
• Fade Away: Marks a zone on the map where Zephyr can go completely invisible using Midnight Rambler, without being revealed even when damaged. This skill gives her a safe space for ambushes or resets and can only be used once per life.
• Get Back: Drops a beacon at Zephyr’s current location. Activate the ability again to instantly teleport back to that spot, letting her dive into fights and escape before enemies can react. It’s got two charges per life, making it a great tool for hit-and-run tactics.

Zephyr is perfect for players who like to stalk their enemies and pull off surprise eliminations. She’s not the easiest Lancer to master, but once you get the hang of her mobility and stealth combo, she can absolutely dominate the backline.

#4: Spider

Spider is a fast-moving support Lancer built around mobility and chaos. His kit is designed to mess with enemy positioning while giving his team creative ways to rotate around the map. With teleportation traps and vision disruption, Spider thrives in setting up unpredictable plays and punishing unsuspecting opponents.

Spider’s Skills:
• Teleporter: Deploys two linked portals anywhere on the map, allowing Spider and his teammates to travel instantly between them. You can recall the portals if needed and reposition them during the round. Only two can be placed per life, making their placement key to catching enemies off guard or escaping sticky situations.
• Spirited Away: A trap that, after a brief delay, teleports all enemies in its radius to the original point where Spider cast the skill. It’s great for pulling enemies out of cover, displacing them from objectives, or just creating confusion. Has two uses per life, offering plenty of room for creative plays.
• Spider Web: A simple but effective trap that blinds and slows any enemy who steps into it. Use it to shut down key paths or catch aggressive players off guard. With two uses per life, you can control chokepoints or protect flanks with ease.

Kismet is a deadly mix of recon, burst damage, and survivability, making her one of the most versatile Lancers in FragPunk. Whether you’re scouting out enemy positions, poking from behind cover, or escaping a sticky situation, Kismet has the tools to do it all. Her skillset favors players who like to be one step ahead of their opponents while also packing enough firepower to win duels.

Kismet’s Skills:
• Hello, Goodbye: Sends out a scan cone in front of her, revealing any enemies caught in its range. It’s perfect for gathering intel before pushing into tight spaces or checking corners without committing. With two charges per life, you can safely lead your team through dangerous territory or catch lurking enemies off guard.
• Misery Angel: Lobs a bomb that damages enemies even if they’re behind walls or cover, making it great for flushing out campers or punishing players who think they’re safe. Its area-of-effect pressure forces enemies to reposition and breaks stalemates quickly.
• Walk on the Wild Side: Activates Rift Walk, turning Kismet invisible and completely immune to damage for a few seconds. She can’t see enemies or traps while using it, so it’s best used to dodge ultimates, reposition behind enemy lines, or escape when you’re low on health. With two uses, it’s a lifesaver that doubles as a setup tool for aggressive plays.

Kismet thrives in the hands of players who love tactical flanking and intel gathering. She’s ideal for creating chaos, confusing enemies, and turning the tide of fights with clever positioning and timing.

#2: Axon

Axon is built for players who want to jump headfirst into the action and thrive in close-range chaos. With a kit focused on raw damage, aggressive movement, and utility that counters annoying status effects, he’s easily one of the most dangerous Lancers when played right. Whether you’re pushing into chokepoints or defending tight corners, Axon brings the heat.

Axon’s Skills:
• Electric Guitar: Axon’s signature ability lets him whip out a guitar that doubles as a hard-hitting shotgun. It packs serious punch at close range and comes with 12 charges, gaining two more for every kill—so if you’re fragging out, you can keep it going. While using it, Axon can also slide during sprints, making him even harder to hit and letting him pull off fast, aggressive flanks. Right-clicking while in this mode throws two sticky grenades for extra chaos.
• Sticky Fingers: This ability arms Axon with throwable sticky grenades that bounce before latching onto enemies or exploding on a timer. They’re perfect for spamming into clustered fights or cutting off escape routes. He gets 10 of them per round, and they recharge over time, so you’re never out of tools to pressure the enemy.
• Super Freak: This utility skill gives Axon temporary immunity to flash and blind effects, making him the perfect counter to heroes like Spider or Corona. Whether you’re pushing into smokes or charging headfirst into a fight with potential vision disruption, this skill helps you stay focused and dangerous. With two uses per life, you’ve got room to be bold.

If you’re all about explosive plays, close-range duels, and aggressive momentum, Axon is your guy. He’s the definition of high-risk, high-reward, and when played right, he’s a nightmare for any team to deal with.

#1: Sonar

Sonar is the ultimate intel-gathering Lancer in FragPunk, giving your team a huge edge when it comes to tracking enemy movement. While other Lancers might offer some form of recon, Sonar takes it to the next level with her sonar-based skills that consistently expose opponents and create opportunities for easy picks. Whether you’re holding a site or planning a sneak attack, she’s a key support character with serious tactical value.

Sonar’s Skills:
• Echolocation: This is her bread-and-butter utility. When placed, this device automatically pings any moving enemies within its range, revealing their location to your entire team. It’s perfect for locking down choke points or planting near objectives to make sure no one sneaks in unnoticed. You get two uses per round, and smart placement can completely control the flow of a fight.
• Sonic Surge: This skill fires a wave that highlights any enemies it touches and follows up with a delayed blast that knocks them back and dazes them. It’s ideal for disrupting enemy pushes, flushing out campers, or punishing grouped-up Lancers. The hit-and-delay combo creates chaos, opening a window for your team to strike.
• Sound of Silence: Great for stealth plays, this ability silences footsteps for both Sonar and nearby allies, letting you reposition or sneak up without being heard. It also gives immunity to other Echolocation effects, letting you counter enemy Sonars or avoid detection. It’s especially clutch in tight rounds or when making a last-minute push.
