Kel Dor Bounty Hunters are one of the key ways, which are available to any faction. Or other Self-Destruct options (mandos, vong).

Death shots (republic, mandos, now OR in a limited way) are another option.

Jedi Reflexes, Riposte, and Djem So let you fight back against the Lancer as it passes over. GMLS can kill it when it attacks him, for example.

Disruptive doesn't stop a Lancer, but if the Lancer is boosted with by GGDAC, it will make it a lot weaker.

GMLS in general is an overcosted piece, but he's actually a pretty good match-up versus a Lancer because he'll basically auto-kill it when it attacks him. Remember that the Lancer has to attack everything it passes over - or nothing. So (if possible) position GMLS so that the Lancer can't get to the rest of the squad without passing over GMLS first. On certain maps, that won't be possible.

Sometimes it's a good idea to include Lobot (the 27 point one from Universe) in your squad, so you only need to bring the Kel Dor in if you are facing a Lancer.

Lobot, CLO has reserves instead of reinforcements. Reserves may or may not trigger during the game. Reinforcements always triggers once at the beginning of the game, allowing you to customize your squad to your opponent's squad, which (in general) makes it a more important ability.
