| ==Gameplay==
| | ==Known Variants== |
| 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.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *When a Vanquisher's shield receives damage, green cracks can be seen, signifying how close it is to shattering.
| |
| *Without their shields, Vanquishers function just like a Knight.
