The Pursuer

Strategy: The Pursuer is an aggressive, heavily armored knight. His attacks are predictable: a three-hit combo, a shield bash, and a charging stab. You can parry his attacks for a critical hit opportunity. Alternatively, dodge through his attacks and counter. In the mandatory arena, you can use the ballistas to deal massive damage if you time it right. Stay close to him to bait his easier-to-dodge attacks. He is weak to Strike damage.
