Overview



The Squire is a warrior hero class. He is one of the four original heroes in Dungeon Defenders. He has the highest base health and health scaling of all hero classes, but the slowest movement speed.

Official Description

A brave knight‐in‐training, the Squire upholds the honor and nobility of his kingdom with every slice of his blade. Building defenses of brute force and limited range, the Squire prefers melee weapons as his instruments of justice. Bludgeoning spikes and whirling blades unleash the rage he bestows upon his foes.

Defenses

The Squire utilizes physical defenses that deal generic, non-elemental damage. All except the Harpoon Turret have a good amount of health to withstand grounded foes, however they lack attack range and cannot reliably hit flying enemies. This makes them vulnerable to being destroyed or crippled by the four Nightmare enemies.

Spike Blockade
Spike Blockade (30 Mana and 3 DU) – A reinforced blockade that is sure to cause a sharp pain to enemies who touch it.

Bouncer Blockade
Bouncer Blockade (40 Mana and 4 DU) – This spinner thrusts enemies back with ferocious force.

Harpoon Turret
Harpoon Turret (80 Mana and 6 DU) – Penetrating its foes, this turret launches deadly arrows that damage rows of enemies at a time.

Bowling Ball Turret
Bowling Ball Turret (110 Mana and 7 DU) – This stationary turret launches reinforced cannonballs that bounce off of enemies and surfaces within its sights.

Slice N Dice Blockade
Slice N Dice Blockade (140 Mana and 8 DU) – This monumental blockade takes time to spin up, but it quickly cuts down waves of enemies with its whirling blades.
In Redux: Sucks enemies in while spinning, provided that it has line of sight.
MortarTower Wheel Icon Mortar Turret (150 Mana and 8 DU, Redux Only) – Rains powerful bombs onto enemies over a short firing range.

Abilities

Circular Slice (60 Mana) – Unleash a devastating 360‐degree circular assault against all enemies around you. This spin attacks hits twice and has a 3-second cooldown.

BladeVortexIcon Blade Vortex (200 Mana, Redux Only) – Spinning blades are deployed on the ground to damage all enemies that come near.

Weapon Skills

General Damage
Melee Combo – A four‐hit combo with each attack dealing more damage and reaching further than the previous one except the last swing.
Blocking Resistance
Block – The Squire raises his guard to protect against frontal attacks, drastically reducing the damage he takes from them. However, he cannot move or attack while blocking.
