Recommended Builds:

• Two-Handed Crusher: Primary: Maul/War Axe, Secondary: Short Sword, Tertiary: Throwing Axes. These weapons deliver immense damage, often capable of one-shotting lighter armored foes with a headshot. Focus on powerful overheads and wide swings. Your role is to break enemy lines and deal heavy damage.
• Sword & Board Defender: Primary: Longsword/Broadsword, Secondary: Kite Shield, Tertiary: Throwing Knives. This build offers excellent defense and sustained combat. The Kite Shield provides superior blocking. Use your shield to absorb damage and then counter-attack. Ideal for holding objectives and protecting allies.
• Flail & Shield Disruptor: Primary: Flail, Secondary: Heater Shield, Tertiary: Throwing Knives. The Flail has unique attack patterns that can be difficult to parry, making it a good choice for disrupting enemy blocks. Combine this with a shield for good defense.

Playstyle: Be the frontline. Absorb damage, push objectives, and protect your teammates. Use your heavy armor to your advantage, but don't overextend. Your special ability (F) grants a temporary defense boost, useful when pushing through heavy fire or defending a critical point. Coordinate with Vanguards to create a strong offensive push.
