They were able to be seen in several areas of the [[Hellas Basin]]<ref>[https://www.twitch.tv/videos/254005900 '''Twitch''', Warmind Reveal Stream]</ref> and certain missions of the [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] campaign along with [[Gambit]]. | ||

Vanquishers | Vanquishers function like the [[Cabal]] [[Phalanx]] unit, except they are restricted to melee combat with their Cleavers and their shields cannot expand. However, 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. The quickest way to dispose of a charging Vanquisher is to destroy their shield, fully opening them to incoming damage. | ||
