Most of the time, higher tier monsters have all the abilities of preceding tiers, with increased intensity.
Almirian Crusader Traits by Tier
All Tiers
Almirian Crusaders are Knight-like monsters encountered in the Legion of Almire Danger Mission. They wield a spear functioning as a Shadow damage Flourish, and a shield that acts nearly identically to that of a Mecha Knight; however, they can use this shield far more often. Despite their glowing ember appearance, it is possible to inflict fire on the Almirian Crusaders.
Strategy
Guide: Almirian Crusader Combat
Because these monsters are the main source of death in the danger Mission Legion of Almire, there are several ways to defeat them with as minimal damage as possible. Like Mecha Knights, Almirian Crusaders will shield to block bullets. This is a good opportunity to attack the crusaders from behind or from their side with a sword. Also, the Avenger and the Divine Avenger will have the ability of canceling their attack if dealt enough damage and hit fast enough.
Stun Vials and weapons dealing said status also seems good, as they seem to be more affected by stun than most enemies.

Notes
The crusader's attack most resembles a flourish weapon line charge attack.
A cursed knight of the once glorious Almirian Empire. These undead warriors lie dormant in glowing ashes until approached or attacked.
Notes
Unlike Almirian Royal Guards, the Crusaders' attack patterns are similar to knights using rapiers, and they will raise their shields after a spear attack and when they are shot at. Be careful in rooms full of Bombies and dormant Crusaders, since the explosions will disturb their rest!

Loot is dropped when the monster is defeated. The loot that drops is random. Sometimes loot isn't dropped at all. This list is simply a pool of possible loot.
Random spawns also apply to missions with floors that have geography similar to the relevant arcade area. The normal version of a monster can sometimes spawn instead of the status version in areas themed with a status, unless the spawn is guaranteed. See Gate Maps for details.
