Mercenary Huntsman Foot Knight Grail Knight |
Description[ | ]
"So named because a soldier needs both virtues if he's to fulfil his calling. Duty sees one's foes slain, but courage keeps you in the fight."
- In-game description, Duty and Courage
Advantages[ | ]
- Combining the mighty cleaving options of a sword with the potent stagger options of a shield, this weapon has an excellent anti-horde toolkit.
- As with all weapon/shield combinations, you can block more attacks than normal weapons. This includes the Rat Ogre's ground slams, and ranged attacks such as the Ratling Gunner's and Deathrattler's bullets. If used by the Grail Knight, you can also block the Warpfire Thrower's fire.
Disadvantages[ | ]
- Anti-armoured damage combos are among the weakest out of any melee weapon in the game.
