The Heavy Defender is an elite enemy in Arknights.

Enemy description

One of Reunion's melee soldiers. Equipped with a full set of heavy armor, they have ample combat experience and are extremely hard to defeat. As they may have had formal training, proceed with caution.

Overview

“	A Reunion melee soldier that has very high defense and is difficult to take down.	”
	—Tooltip

A Reunion soldier clad in heavy armor and carrying a large shield, Heavy Defenders boast high HP and DEF, and moderate ATK that makes them very difficult to be taken down with Physical attacks. Fortunately, their heavy armor does not protect Heavy Defenders from Arts damage and they will easily fall to concentrated DPS from Casters, not to mention that it makes them move at a slow pace.
