Tyras guard

For the NPC please see Tyras Guard (catapult)

Tyras Guards can be found at the Tyras camp in Tirannwn. The Tyras Guard uses a Halberd as a weapon, therefore a player can be attacked either next to the Guard or one square away. A Tyras Guard is fought during the Regicide quest.



Strategy
A Tyras Guard can hit up to 150 and though there are a few "safe spots", his halberd can reach over most of them, so food and/or Protect from Melee are strongly advised. Magic or Ancients can be dangerous to use because most robes have low defence and there is a lack of safe spots, but it has proven to be effective. If using Ancients, the player can attack with Ice spells so the Guard cannot move, providing decent experience because of his weakness to mage, with no danger to the player.

Trivia
Tyras Guard
 * While the guards near Port Tyras haven't had their chatface updated, the guards in the camp have.
 * The guards use their halberds as crushing weapons (like battlestaves) even though halberds do not have a crushing attack style.
