'''Vanquishers''' are a sub-unit of regular [[Hive]] [[Knight]]s that are armed with a [[Cleaver]] and a [[Hive Shield]]. They can be seen in several areas of the [[Hellas Basin]]<ref>[https://www.twitch.tv/videos/254005900 '''Twitch''', Warmind Reveal Stream].</ref>, and rarely in [[Gambit]]. In the ''[[Shadowkeep]]'' expansion, Vanquishers are found serving as shock troops for the  Hidden Swarm, defending the Scarlet Keep.

==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
Vanquishers are pure melee combatants, unlike [[Phalanx|other]] shielded enemies. Their shields grant them significant damage resistance and immunity to staggering, allowing them to keep pressing the attack and rush down all [[Guardian]]s in their path. Their Cleavers are capable of killing Guardians in only a handful of swipes, forcing their opponents to keep their distance, and they typically fight alongside other Vanquishers to maximize their assault. While their shields can be destroyed, they provide a significant health increase, so bypassing them with explosive damage may be more viable in some circumstances.
Vanquishers function like the [[Cabal]] [[Phalanx]] unit, except they are restricted to melee combat with their Cleavers and their shields cannot expand. However, when using their shield to block attacks, they cannot be staggered, allowing them to keep pressing the attack and rush down all [[Guardian]]s in their path. Their Cleavers are capable of killing Guardians in only a handful of swipes, forcing their opponents to keep their distance, and they typically fight alongside other Vanquishers to maximize their assault. The quickest way to dispose of a charging Vanquisher is to destroy their shield, fully opening them to incoming damage.
