Lanchester is a Season 2 Bomber. Use Lanchester when you defend or garrison: the War skill Mech Ascension gives all troops +16% DEF at Lv.5.
Exclusive skills: Arrest Weapon Tuning, War Mech Ascension.
Where this comes from: Lanchester’s hero and Exclusive Equipment screens, captured by MORÖX on S216 (Sep–Oct 2026).
Also from the game: all 6 hero skills (3 Arrest, 3 War) with Lv.1 to Lv.5 values, from Lanchester’s Skills screens (Oct 2026). Jump to skills.
Not yet measured: star upgrades.
What would change this: a game update to Omni Claws or to Lanchester’s skills.
When to use Lanchester
Lanchester’s War skill switches on only when you defend or garrison. In any other battle it does nothing, so a trio built for a different battle leaves Lanchester idle. Read the pick-by-battle table to see who else boosts defending battles.
Exclusive Equipment: Omni Claws
Bomber HP and Lethality +63% at Lv.10.
Season 2 equipment adds +6.3% troop HP and Lethality per level, up to +63% at Lv.10 (324,000 power). Maxing it takes 550 parts. In most heroes the rate is set by season, not by the hero: see the Season Rule. Known exceptions: Tyronn and Phoenix.
Odd levels raise the Arrest skill, even levels the War skill
