Dodge to the Side for his Swing Attacks

The Armored Warrior's Swing Attacks have a big reach so make sure to dodge to your side as soon as he rears his sword. You can also get in a few sword strikes to his side while he's doing this.

Stay Clear when He Does his Multiple Overhead Attacks

Keep your distance from the Armored Warrior when he does multiple overhead attacks in a row. Even if you dodge to your side, the attack finishes off with a full circle sword sweep that can easily knock you down.

Recommended Prosthetic Tool: Loaded Axe

With the Loaded Axe, you'll be able to deal high amounts of Posture Damage with each successful strike, making it easier to fully break the Armored Warrior's Posture. Attack the Armored Warrior with the Loaded Axe from his side when he does his swing attack.
