Gameplay
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 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. The quickest way to dispose of a charging Vanquisher is to destroy their shield, fully opening them to incoming damage.

Trivia
- When a Vanquisher's shield was receiving damage, green cracks can be seen, signifying how close it was to shattering.
- Without their shields, Vanquishers functioned just like a Knight.
