Lance Royal Guards are are an elite corps of soldiers within the Crimson Lance and are rarely encountered.
Involvement
Lance Royal Guards are seen as bodyguards or aides to high ranking Lance officers. They are seen as the personal guard of Commandant Steele during the opening of the Vault.
Another such appearance, where this time they must be fought, is in the company of Master McCloud. A pair of them are sent with him to eliminate the cornered Vault Hunters sneaking into the Crimson Fastness. In the second DLC, Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, if Master McCloud spawns in the boss wave, two Lance Royal Guards will accompany him.
They also come with the final waves of the Circle of Duty missions in the third DLC, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx.
Strategy
- The Lance Royal Guard uses a heavy armour type, comparable to that of Lance Defenders, and visibly differentiated by a purple colour scheme. This armour makes them tough to kill, with the obvious downside of also making them slow targets who are easy to hit. Corrosive, Incendiary, and Shock weapons are the recommended choice of armament to use against Lance Royal Guardsmen.
Locations
