Skills / Effects
Skill names may differ by client language, so this table focuses on the practical effect each player should check in game.
| Slot | Confirmed effect |
|---|---|
| Main special | Powerful fixed-turret special attack that deploys a sustained damage turret at a fixed position |
| Adventure skill | Grants up to 6 arrow-type projectiles at quest start and periodically; arrow count and behavior scale with skill level |
| Adventure skill Lv2 | Arrow count or effect increases (confirm exact change in game) |
Progression Effects
Use the live weapon detail screen before investing rare upgrade materials. Prioritize upgrades when the preview supports the same job this weapon already does: ice physical damage, spear value, fixed-turret special damage, or arrow-type adventure skills.
| Upgrade point | Player check |
|---|---|
| Lv1 preview | Check whether the first bonus supports your spear or ice plan before spending materials |
| Lv10+ preview | Keep upgrading if the next bonus improves the same damage lane or event role |
| Lv50 preview | Treat the final upgrade as a commitment point; compare it with your other S-tier carry first |
Awakening Effects
Do not chase duplicates just because the lance is strong. Awakening value depends on the live bonus preview and your gem plan.
| Awakening | Player check |
|---|---|
| 1 awakening | Check whether the bonus improves ice damage, spear damage, special value, or arrow-type skills |
| 2 awakenings | Continue only if the next bonus helps the same role and your account still needs this weapon more than a new carry |
| 3 awakenings | Stop and compare gem cost against future banner needs before pushing deeper |
| 4 awakenings | Treat as a high-commitment duplicate plan, not a default reroll goal |
| 5 awakenings | Only chase if the live banner rules and your budget already support a full duplicate route |
How to Get
Blue Steel Machine Lance is tied to the Killer Machine Series Equipment Draw. The banner began on June 9, 2026. If you are reading this after the banner end date, check the current banner page before assuming the draw is still active.
Before spending gems, open the live in-game banner screen and confirm the exact name, featured pool, rates, stamp or pity rules, and end time. The weapon is the main decision piece; matching Killer Machine armor can help, but armor alone should not decide a deep pull.
Blue Steel Machine Lance sits at the top of the current Killer Machine Series banner advice. Its fixed-turret special and arrow-type adventure skills make it a strong pick for accounts that want ice coverage, spear typing, or a specialist weapon for Machine Ruins and Super Monster Rush content.
Best Uses
| Use case | Why it fits |
|---|---|
| Machine Ruins farming | Ice attribute and fixed-turret pattern align with the stage design and enemy weaknesses |
| Bamboo Soldier strong enemy | Arrow-type skills and sustained turret damage help against this target |
| Super Monster Rush | Fixed-turret special excels in rush modes where sustained area damage matters |
| Ice coverage | Fills an ice-attribute gap when your account lacks ice damage |
| Spear route | Spear typing supports vocations that favor spear weapons |
| Killer Machine armor synergy | Killer Machine Series armor may provide matching bonuses that improve the full setup |
Closest Comparison
Compare Blue Steel Machine Lance with Sand Spear before treating every spear the same way. Sand Spear is an earth physical spear with a sandstorm pull special and Spike follow-up adventure skill, rated B tier. Blue Steel Machine Lance is an ice spear with a fixed-turret special and arrow-type adventure skill, rated top-tier S. The two serve completely different roles: Sand Spear is a context pick for earth coverage and Priest routes, while Blue Steel Machine Lance is a premium carry weapon for ice damage and Machine Ruins content.
Also compare with Ice Staff if you are choosing between ice weapons. Ice Staff is a magic-focused staff with freeze control and co-op comfort. Blue Steel Machine Lance is a physical spear with a fixed-turret special and arrow-type projectiles, better suited for players who want a physical ice carry or plan to run spear-friendly vocations.
Player Notes
The current rule is: Keep it if pulled early, test before chasing duplicates. Blue Steel Machine Lance is a high-signal Killer Machine banner weapon because its fixed-turret special, arrow-type adventure skills, and ice attribute all make it easy to test right now in Machine Ruins and Super Monster Rush. It is less urgent if your account already has Ice Staff, Metal Wing, Roto Sword, or another weapon that clears story and event stages comfortably.
Killer Machine armor can make the same event setup feel smoother, but armor is support value. Do not turn a lance decision into a deep armor chase unless the live banner route and your gem plan both make sense.
For the full pull-or-save decision, use the current banner guide. For reroll context, compare the whole account against the reroll guide instead of judging this weapon alone.
