Can you beat one?

These are typical numbers for the class, not a single fixed creature. The exact strength, health and kit shift from one Guard to the next, so treat this as a guide to the fight rather than an exact readout.

Work in progress

Dial in your own weapon and gear. Each swing varies, so you see a damage band; the matching armour channel is subtracted on both sides.

This matchup is still being refined, so treat the numbers as a guide while we sharpen them against real fights.

Their hit on you75 to 126

Rusty Two-Hander (about 70 Dexterity) drops you in 1 to 2 hits through your armour.

Typical Guard weapon; the exact one varies.

Each hit = weapon damage + attribute (Strength for melee, Dexterity for ranged) minus their armour, never below 1. The game varies every swing, so we show a band from a low roll up to a clean full hit rather than one fixed number. Weapon skill is a tier (Untrained, Trained, Master) that sets how often a rare weak-spot critical lands; it does not change the band.

Approximate. Enemy health and damage scale with your in-game difficulty settings.
