Vanquishers are a sub-unit of regular Hive Knights 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 campaign, along with Gambit, as part of the Grasp of Nokris.[1] Years later, they would be sighted, rarely, as part of Xivu Arath's Horde in the Heist Battleground: Europa.[2]
Gameplay[edit]
Vanquishers are pure melee combatants, unlike 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 Guardians 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[edit]
- 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.
