The Warrior is Guildrun's front-line Attack class: heroes who deal damage with autos and active abilities while scaling Crit, Rush, and Shields. Unlike pure Tanks, Warriors want to hit back — they convert survivability into offense, making them the backbone of durable aggro boards in Demo 0.5.7. Build a Warrior core when the shop keeps offering Attack, Rush, and shield pieces and you need a front line that still threatens kills.
At a glance
- Role
- Front-line Attack bruiser — Crit / Rush / Shield scaling
- Strength
- Self-sufficient melee: shields from combat let Warriors trade into the front hex and still output damage
- Weakness
- Needs hits to land — kited, stunned, or out-ranged Warriors give up both damage and shields
How to play this class
Draft, shop, and formation notes for building around the class.
Drafting
Anchor the board with one or two Warriors before greedy back-line carries. A Warrior who is already winning trades is your Rank B priority; do not spread ranks across three fragile picks.
Shop priorities
Filter for Warrior banners, Attack, and Shield pieces first. Rush duration matters if your Warriors trigger it every fight. Crit becomes strong once the wall already holds.
Positioning
Warriors belong on the dive hex or front-mid where their autos connect. Idle Warriors are dead cards — keep them in melee contact, not tucked in the back.
What to buy first
- Warrior banners (Endurance / Bravery / Mending) for class commitment
- Attack and Shield items that feed the damage-into-survivability loop
- Rush duration when your Warriors reliably trigger Rush
- Crit pieces last — only once the front line is stable

Tips
- A Warrior board that never applies shields is wasting Shield relics — check your applicators before buying more.
- Don't draft three walls and no finisher; Warriors want to convert durability into a kill threat.
