FragPunk is widely recognized for its innovative Shard Cards, which significantly alter gameplay dynamics from one round to the next. However, the choice of Lancer—each being a playable character—plays an equally crucial role in determining the outcome of each match. Every Lancer comes equipped with at least three unique Abilities, ranging from mobility boosts and area-of-effect healing to traps and visual impairments. These Abilities define a Lancer’s strengths and limitations, meaning strategies must shift depending on the chosen Lancer, the active Game Mode, and the specific Map.
Gaining mastery over a chosen Lancer’s toolkit, cooperating with optimal team compositions, and learning how to counter opposing Lancers are essential skills. This becomes particularly important since several Lancers aren’t immediately available and must be unlocked using Gold, FragPunk Coins, or Lancer Trophies. Being well-informed before committing resources is highly recommended.
Below is a comprehensive list of every Lancer available in FragPunk along with detailed information on their Abilities.
