Lanze

The Lanze (German for lance/spear) is a wanzer model that appeared in Front Mission 3. It is produced by the a corporation within the E.C. (European Community) named 'Schnecker' (Schnecke Corp; Germany).

Overview

 * In Front Mission 3: The Lanze is characterized by a very well protected body structure and great movement range with high evasion, but it is weakest in the stiker wanzer-part category in arm durability and accuracy.
 * The body chassis has both great durability (hit point pool) and damage class modifiers (Def-C Upgrade; to reduce damage from either impact, piercing, or fire type damage specifically by a certain percent). The Lanze's body part is the best one could buy from the market in game as long the power generation suits the desired overall configuration.
 * Compared to other wanzers of the same role and power-to-weight ratio, the arms have slightly lower durability and poor accuracy upgrades.
 * Compared with other wanzers of the same role and power-to-weight ratio, the legs have great durability and movement, but low evasion.

Deployments

 * In Front Mission 3, the Lanze can be seen in both Emma's and Alisa's story arc when encountering Greg of the Wulong Mercenaries. It is equipped with a melee fist weapon and fulfills a striker role.
 * Emma's Route: As an enemy as reinforcements during the battle in Foshan and as a primary opposition at the Nanjing bridge.
 * Alisa's Route: As an ally during the events at the Shanghai Zoo.

Trivia

 * In Front Mission 3, battle skills are learned by equipping specific wanzer parts. When equipped, Lanze gave:
 * TackleIII (Body) - When the battle skill activates on attack, the body weight of the wanzer is used in a tackle that results in "major" damage.
 * ShieldAtkII (Arms) - If wielding a melee weapon, then this battle skill activation will result in "very high" damage based on the damage of the melee damage equipped.
 * Avoid40 (Legs) - When the player is attacked and this skill activates, any damage below 40 will be reduced to 0; this allows for the wanzer to shrug off damage from machine guns, shotguns, and shield-blocked shots as long the damage is below the threshold.
