Crusader

"A mighty sword arm anchored by holy purpose - a zealous warrior!"

- The Ancestor

The Crusader is one of the playable Characters in Darkest Dungeon. He is one of the 4 religious characters.

Class Description
"Every cause needs a champion, a hero to rally otherwise common men to a righteous cause and lead them to victory. The Crusader is that champion. With holy blade in hand he smites the wicked and sends them back to the darkness from whence they crept. While his armor restricts his movement it affords him great protection, allowing him to stand in the frontlines to take the blows that his weaker comrades cannot. No matter the pressures he faces he will remain strong, finding strength within himself to keep fighting on while inspiring others to do the same. Even in the midst of battle he can galvanize his allies, giving them the strength to fight off madness for a little longer. When the Crusader is leading the charge, all of hell will know to fear the flame."

Combat Skills
"Battle-hardened and stalwart, the Crusader has held the front lines in a hundred holy wars. He either attacks foes head-on with righteous fury, or embraces a melee support role by leveraging his powerful defensive buffs & off-heals."

- Guild

Note: New Crusaders will always come with Smite skilled.

==Camping Skills== "Righteousness and conviction inspire compelling speeches around the campfire! In the face of mounting stress, the Crusader is a leader, standing tall and refusing to break. His unshakable belief can assuage companions' fear, reassuring them that despite the hardships they will most certainly endure, all will be well in the end."

- Survivalist

Tactical Analysis
The Crusader is primarily a frontline combatant, with Smite, Zealous Accusation, and Stunning Blow as staple frontline damage skills, and Holy Lance to force him back to the front if he finds himself shuffled. However, he still has several other good support skills at his disposal. While his Battle Heal offers mediocre healing, Inspiring Cry stands out as it allows him to keep party stress levels low when he lacks a target, on top of replenishing the torch. Bulwark of Faith offers a tremendous long-lasting PROT bonus to improve his tanking ability, but is generally not as strong a tool for taking hits as a proper Guard ability would.

His innate damage bonuses against the Unholy make the Crusader a valuable party member when venturing into the Ruins. The Unholy Hater and Unholy Slayer quirks stack with this to further amplify his damage output against his favored enemy. His inability to strike the back ranks, however, makes it difficult for him to assassinate problematic targets like Stress-causing enemies or Elite mobs, so pair him either with heroes that can compensate with back rank damage or shuffling abilities.

Equipment
"The Crusader wears heavy plate mail and wields a longsword. While affording him excellent protection and damage, his armor restricts movement, and his sword cannot be swung effectively in the back ranks."

- Blacksmith

Each Hero has Trinkets unique to them that only they can equip. The Crusader has eight; 3 common, 2 Crimson Court, and 1 uncommon, rare, and very rare. In the base game, his lower level trinkets are crests (likely war decorations) and his high level trinkets are scrolls, likely what he uses in his Zealous Accusation attack. The Crimson Court DLC adds a pauldron and conscription letter.

Trivia

 * The design of the Crusader is based on armor from troops in "The Crusades", which were a series of conflicts between the 11th and 15th century.
 * The predetermined name of the Crusader is Reynauld, named after an actual crusader who died during The Battle of Mount Cadmus.
 * The Crusader has the most Backer Heroes with a staggering 64, with the runner up (the Man-At-Arms) only having half as many.
 * A previous iteration of the Crusader during development featured an open-helmet chain mail design with the Crusader's face visible. This design has a wallpaper on Red Hook Studio's main website and it was shown off in the game's "Terror and Madness" trailer in 2013.
 * According to his Hopeless barks, the Crusader used to love somebody and was even married once. This was confirmed in his origin comic where he leaves his wife and child to embark on the crusade, but was changed so much by the war he chose to remain on the crusade rather than return to his family.
 * Another one of his afflicted barks, this time while being Irrational, shows that he might have been mistreated by his father or a priest during childhood.
 * While most characters have seven trinkets, The Crusader, Highwayman, Plague Doctor and Vestal all have the most at eight.
 * The fact that Crusader can kill his enemies by showing them a document was claimed by fans as the most absurd thing in the game. Thus probably making his skill "Zealous Accusations" the most recognizable skill in the game, as seen on some fan-arts on the official darkest dungeon website.
