Hold back, and wait for them to let loose with a charging attack-if you manage to get out of the way, it's incredibly easy to slip behind them and pull off a backstab. Sanctum Soldier (Lance): These guys have shields, which means you'll have a harder time immediately going on the offense.But watch out-they have a jumping attack that can carry them a surprising distance. Sneak in a few hits after a combo, or wiggle around behind them for a backstab. If you take them on one at a time, the Soldiers equipped with maces aren't too difficult since their weapons are colossal, it takes a lot of effort to swing them around. Additionally, some of them are poisonous (indicated by a green aura), so you'll have to keep your distance and backstab as soon as possible. Sanctum Soldier (Mace): An important note on all Sanctum Soldiers: they don't stagger easily and have lots of HP, so don't expect to brute force your way through their defenses.
