942810 20100318 screen002 — Lance Assassin

Lance Assassins are an enemy introduced in The Secret Armory of General Knoxx. They are female and wield two plasma swords as weapons. Their movements are exceptionally swift and dexterous, incorporating acrobatics such as back flips making them extremely difficult for the player to target.

Strategy

Lance assassins are armed with two plasma swords for up-close melee combat, and use shurikens when at range. Although very fast in movement speed, they have relatively low health and can be taken out with a single high-power Sniper headshot with Mordecai. If you find it difficult to land a head-shot, try a Corrosive Shotgun or Rocket Launcher, as they are very effective, even against Badass and named Assassins.

Background

For potentially disrupting Atlas' monopoly on alien weapon technology, Atlas posts wanted posters of the four in-game characters and employs Lance and their Assassins to hunt you down and kill you.

Trivia

The Lance Assassin is very similar in design and movement to the female assassins from Half-Life. Gearbox Software's first game was the Half-Life expansion Opposing Force.
