Lance in Final Fantasy V.
Lancet (竜剣, Ryuuken?, lit. Dragon Sword), also localized as DrgSwrd, Lance, Empowerer, Dragon, DragonSword, or Spirit Surge, is an ability in several games in the Final Fantasy series. It is usually associated with the Dragoon job class. Lancet allows characters to absorb HP and MP from their opponents.
Appearances
Final Fantasy V
Template:Sideicon Lance was known as DrgSwrd in the older translation, is the Level 2 ability of the Dragoon class, learned for 150 ABP. It takes around half of the MP of what normal Osmose spells take, and a small amount of HP compared to the Drain spell, but it has no chance of missing.
Final Fantasy VI
Template:Sideicon Cyan Garamonde's Level 5 Bushido, Dragon, originally titled Empowerer, absorbs HP and MP from one opponent.
Final Fantasy VII
Template:Sideicon Cid Highwind knows the Limit Break, Dragon, doing 1.25 times of normal damage which absorbs enemies' HP and MP. Executing Hyper Jump six times teaches Cid Dragon.
Final Fantasy IX
Template:Sideicon Freya Crescent uses the ability Lancer. Unlike in previous games, this only damages an enemy's HP and MP and absorbs neither. It can be learned from Partisan, Coral Ring, and Dragon Wrist for 20 AP.
The amount of damage Lancer does to HP is as follows:
![{\displaystyle Base=[(AtkPwr*12)/10]-TargetsDefense}](https://services.fandom.com/mathoid-facade/v1/media/math/render/svg/9e3480836049c880f7bae4e191316206b03d82c0)
![{\displaystyle Bonus=Str...[(Lv+Str)/8]+Str}](https://services.fandom.com/mathoid-facade/v1/media/math/render/svg/f7f3fab531e4c31e4454d6b5492e53ea22d3b89c)
The amount of damage Lancer does to MP is equal to 1/16 of the amount of HP damage dealt.
Final Fantasy X
Template:Sideicon The Lancet ability absorbs a low amount of HP and an equal amount of MP if available (which is high relative to most character's MP) from one opponent. If Kimahri uses this ability on certain fiends, he will have a chance to learn a new Ronso Rage. Whereas Drain in some games does damage to its user if it is used on the undead, Lancet will steal life from undead and opponents in Zombie status as normal; characters in Zombie status who use Lancet will also absorb HP as normal. The damage from Lancet is considered neither physical or magical, instead falling into "special" damage category, meaning it will be unaffected by Protect or Shell.

Kain Highwind
Lancet is Kain Highwind's special HP attack in his EX Mode, used by pressing Template:Dissidia button and Template:Dissidia button. It creates a blade of energy beneath the opponent that stabs upwards, and on a successful hit heals Kain an amount of HP equivalent to the HP damage dealt to the opponent. As two additional benefits, Kain is able to dash towards the opponent by pressing Template:Dissidia button after using Lancet, and shortly after it hits his Bravery will be restored to its base value.
