'''Vanquishers''' are a sub-unit of regular [[Hive]] [[Knight]]s that are armed with a [[Cleaver]] and a [[Hive Shield]]. They were first encountered in several areas of the [[Hellas Basin]], and certain missions of the [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] campaign, along with [[Gambit]], as part of the [[Grasp of Nokris]].<ref>[https://www.twitch.tv/videos/254005900 '''Twitch''', Warmind Reveal Stream]</ref> Years later, they would be sighted, rarely, as part of [[Xivu Arath's Horde]] in the [[Heist Battleground: Europa]].<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - Legend [[Heist Battlegrounds|Heist Battleground]]: [[Heist Battleground: Europa|Europa]]''</ref> | |||

Vanquishers | 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. | ||
