Overview

Repent, sinners! Crusader is a long-range, high-damage, big-body goliath who valiantly smites his foes from far away. He has access to a number of powerful tools that allow him to amass threat from fullscreen before charging forth and bringing the pain up close.

Many of Crusader's normals have fantastic range, though they tend to be slow. 5AAGuard:

Until landing+15Advantage:
is also an incredibly fast diagonally-oriented projectile that can easily shut down any approach coming his way. Working all of these zoning tools together allows for Crusader to beat back attempts at getting close to him.

If his opponent makes a mistake and gets clipped by a good starter, then Crusader is capable of immediately transitioning into close-range pressure with his signature Deflection WallGuard:
MidStartup:
15Recovery:
Advantage:
+5, which places a corner wall behind his opponent. From here, Crusader can use options like his +3 on block 2AGuard:
MidStartup:

MidStartup:

, a temporary buff that bestows one hit of super armor, additional lightning strikes on certain moves for combo extensions, and access to two additional MP Skills, Strike of RepentanceGuard:

-8 and ApocalypseGuard:

. Both of these skills are excellent in combos and pressure, which makes applying Grace of Lemidios a strong option to consider.

Crusader's high damage and strong zoning come with a price- he's slow. Very slow. His large hitbox, sluggish pokes and slow run speed can make it difficult to contest certain matchups. Opponents who understand how slow Crusader really is can also zip by his pressure attempts with a well-timed dodge, meaning a Crusader player has to be very conscious about their chosen pressure strings. In general, whiffing any of Crusader's slow pokes can spell bad news for him, though he thankfully has solid defense with his 4SGuard:

Overall, Crusader is best for people who like big-body characters and powerful zoning.

Crusader

Crusader is classified as a Traps type. He has many moves with good range and damage. He can create walls at the opponent's location and has self-enhancing moves.
Pros	Cons
Heavenly Zoning: Crusader's huge attacks and access to grounded and airborne projectiles allows him to very effectively strike from a safe distance, alongside the ability to force zoners to slow down with the use of Deflection WallGuard: MidStartup: 15Recovery: Advantage: +5. Corner on Demand: Deflection WallGuard: MidStartup: 15Recovery: Advantage: +5 allows Crusader to place the opponent in a corner situation off of virtually any hit or as a whiff punish, enabling devastating combos at will. Even when used on block, it's still plus. Meterless Counter Crusader's 4S is a counter attack that does not cost any mana, allowing him to escape some situations where other characters would need to use an MP Skill in. Durable: With the highest Guard Gauge and tied for the highest Health, both further enhanced during Awakening, and access to Super Armor through 214MGuard: MidStartup: 45Recovery: Advantage: , Crusader is the toughest character in the game.	Heavy Strikes: Crusader's Normal attacks are all very slow, making it difficult to fight at close-range, and his Skills and MP Skills have considerable startup and high recovery on whiff, giving opponents opportunities to close in. Giant: Crusader is one of the largest characters in the game, making him susceptible to unique Round Start options, and air attacks can hit him much easier. Slow: Crusader has the slowest movement speeds in the game, making it difficult to approach through zoning or maneuver around pokes.

Additionally, Crusader will receive 1 hit of Super ArmorAn attack that can absorb a single hit from the opponent (usually taking a fraction of the regular damage) before the opponent's attacks will hit you. An example of this is Potemkin's Hammerfall ([4]6P). during the Grace, allowing him to sustain a single blow without recoiling or interrupting his attacks.

The Grace can also be expended to activate Strike of RepentanceGuard:

Crusader's "invincible" reversal option. Unlike other DP's, it has no invulnerability and instead has 3 hits of super armor, consequently making him vulnerable to throws and multihit attacks. It has a large horizontal hitbox on both sides and is fairly rewarding for crusader on hit due to it's launches properties sending the opponent nearly fullscreen. It is not foolproof however, as it can be jumped over with precise timing.

Although armored, Crusader is still vulnerable to throws and awakening attacks.

Crusader sets an orb of light midair while curing him of any negative debuff effects. After a short time, it turns into an orb of darkness that shoots out a large number of multi-hitting lasers, covering a large area on the ground before ending in an explosion. On block, Apocalypse allows Crusader to deal upwards of 80% guard bar damage with 5B over its duration.

Since it is highly active and has OTG properties, it allows Crusader to combo off of throw, giving him a strong setplay/mixup option.
