King's Guard

The King's Guard is a common melee enemy and one of the castle's primary soldiers, equipped with full knight armour and a sword. It pursues an alerted player and tries to stay within melee range, attacking with its sword once close enough.

On its own it is straightforward to handle, but groups are considerably more dangerous because their swings overlap. It commonly appears alongside the Elementalist and the Hitman, so a group mixes melee, ranged and fast attacks. On the harder difficulties its health and damage rise sharply enough that pulling the group apart matters.
