Runeforged Hammer if you are used to this playstyle. The damage is about the same, except you have to be in melee range.

Passive -
 Camelot's Quest Lancelot passively gains movement speed while mounted, and basic attack damage reduction while unmounted. Camelot's Quest gives him a minor edge in the 1v1, and helps him get closer to enemies while mounted.

Ability 1 -
Piercing Thrust / Shining Gallop Lancelot dashes through enemies, dealing damage. If he hits an enemy, he can dash one more time.If he's mounted, this ability will instead cause him to dismount, causing his horse to dash through enemies, dealing damage and slowing all enemies in-front of him. Piercing Thrust / Shining Gallop is your main damage ability, used to clear camps and hit enemy gods. The mounted version of the ability is best used to slow the enemies, or stop blinks from afar.
|
|
Ability 2 -
Skilled Strikes / Crashing Dive Lancelot slams his shield, knocking enemies up and pushing them away. He then stabs with his lance, dealing bonus damage to enemies within a cone.If mounted, Skilled Strikes / Crashing Dive will cause Lancelot to jump up, rooting enemies and avoiding attacks. He lands shortly afterwards, dealing damage on impact. Skilled Strikes / Crashing Dive is used to CC enemies, whether with the knockback while unmounted or to root while mounted. Using it while on the horse lets you avoid many abilities and jump over walls, so it will depend on the situation when you should do this.
|
|
Ability 3 -
Mount Up / Quick Turn Lancelot mounts onto his horse, gaining a new set of abilities, movement speed, and a stacking health shield over 3 seconds.If he is stunned or the shield is broken, he is forcibly dismounted. If used while mounted, Lancelot does a quick 180 degree turn on his horse. Mount Up / Quick Turn should be used before combat begins, as the shield is too weak to keep you mounted while in combat. It is a very strong initiation ability.
|
|
Ultimate -
The Grand Joust Lancelot rears his horse, crippling all enemies within a massive radius in front of him. He then dashes forwards, dealing damage to all enemies hit. When this ability is finished, he will be in a mounted state. The Grand Joust is used as a gap closer, finisher, or as a way to disengage from combat, as you will have the speed bonus of being mounted at the end of it.

Mount Up > 
Crashing Dive > 
Piercing Thrust > Auto Attack > 
Skilled Strikes > Piercing Thrust > Auto Attack Crashing Dive does more damage than Skilled Strikes, so only use it if you need the slow or to stop a blink. The Grand Joust when the enemy runs away, if you need to run away, or at the end of the combo. Skilled Strikes > The Grand Joust The Grand Joust early. Use the combo above for damage if you decide to fight after ulting.
Lancelot has a powerful early fight. Use your abilities to hit anyone within melee range, and remember the rule of thumb: The enemy laner is the easier kill, but the enemy jungler is the one that may kill you or your teamate. Blink Rune. You do this because you can damage with your melee abilities for high burst, and The Grand Joust is perfect for chasing enemies. You can't chase them if you use your ultimate to get close, which is why you Blink Rune first. The Grand Joust is very powerful at locking down certain opponents with the cripple field. The Grand Joust. You want to be mounted at all times, as enemies will try to blink on you if they see you off of the horse. The Grand Joust to cut them off and punish them. The Grand Joust is very powerful, but it is also your only escape. Use Blink Rune to get close, do damage briefly, and The Grand Joust out of combat. You have a higher chance of living, the enemies you hit should back off, and your team may secure the phoenix.
Lancelot is a highly mobile assassin, and his kit is designed to excel at dodging enemy abilities. When played at his best, he becomes very oppressive to play against. I'd like to use this part of the guide to give a thank you to his horse, truly the MVP at carrying fights. Thank you for making the 1v1 a 2v1 Mr. Horse, and I hope to work well with you in the future ^^
