Lady of the Lake on Offense
Lady of the lake can be used as a generic healer as her heal is quite substantial (counting the heal from her minions as well).
It is also easier to sustain Minions on offensive than in defense. Which means that you will be constantly having a few minions. Furthermore minions also fire after special skills, and after tiles. Which means that your minions can be quite effective at preventing enemies from firing their special skills. (As compared to Li Xiu, or Chao, where after reducing enemy’s mana, your tiles charge them back to full again).
Lady of the lake on Defense
Mana control is always awesome. Being able to prevent heroes from firing their special skill + strong defensive abilities is what made Guinevere such a monster in the tank position.
However, Guinevere special is average speed and affects all enemies & her heal over time heals. The total heal amount is comparable to Lady of the Lake’s healing.
In typical situations, the first 1% of mana reduction is already effective in defense. Your opponents will have to match tiles (and charge up mana), and then his/her turn is already over. Which means your other heroes get to go again, and your minions (if alive) get to go again.
It is can be very very difficult to recover from if your opponent is having a hard time killing your minions.
The downside is that Lady of the Lake’s special is at slow speed, and her defensive stats are rather average.
Lady of the Lake Vs. Titans
Lady of the Lake does not fit into any role against titans. Against titans she can be very effective at preventing the Titan from firing special. (As titans always have problems dealing with minions).
However, that is not the goal of a titan fight. The goal of a titan fight is to deal as much damage as possible, as quickly as possible. This essentially means that your go to heroes are Buddy & Evelyn, along with other heroes that have high attack stats.

Additional Review of Lady of the Lake
this hero has been carrying me singlehandedly for months. B rating is not true at all. Compare is wrong to guinevere, as she reduces mana once, while lady’s minions can stay intact for several rounds, outperforming guin’s mana reduction on the long run. if they activate twice, the difference is even greater.
