Introduction

First, I want to warn you that the present build is a combination of utility and something that I designed just for fun. What does it mean? This means that skills are selected to make a great synergy as counterbalance for using medieval ways of deprivation of life. This means that whilst using weapons to which build has been designed for, you can still have fun killing innocent policemens with a crossbows or rusty greatsword. Additionally if you swap sharpened sticks to something normal like flamethrower or light machine guy, it's suitable even for Death Wish. With crossbows it's still possible to pass some missions at the DW, but you have to be a really good player and good single-shot weapons user.

Build is created in two variants - Paladin and Inquisitor How they differ? You will find answers in the dedicated descriptions of each option

TL: DR

Presented by default this build is Joke build. However, just change weapons and you will get suitable build for DW missions.

Paladin

The first (and my personal favorite) variant of my medieval build is Paladin, which is characterized by the following features:
- Inspiring voice, whose blessed prayers are able to lift the spirits and bodies of every comrade.
- Holy regeneration, every true knight of justice greatest trait. It always accompanies holy warriors, and if the knight shows mercy by taking prisoners, heavens can double that healing gift.
- Proficiency in the art of the crusade, which knight knows both the art of war and as first aid. Because of that, warrior can support his companions by giving them ammunition or medical supplies.

These features makes this build main inspire type, which takes care of his companions, saving them from many of oppressions, proudly pushing hordes of unfaithful at the same time .

Paladyn - Perk Deck

Muscle

Muscle adds to your build all the features which needs blessed warrior like you. Survive longer preaching the luminous truth. Spread terror among the enemies using your charismatic aura (does not work with crossbows, no but there's nothing we can do with it ;[ )

But most importantly, as a celestial chosen one, enjoy divine regeneration. Even in the worst moments, your patrons will always accompany you, filling your soul with DETERMINATION, and the body with vigor.

Inquisitor

The second version of my medieval build Inquisitor is focused on combat and characterized by the following features:

• Proudly lead crusade against the infidel, stand at the forefront of the attack in the heaviest armor and affect the improve the quality of the armor of soldiers accompanying you in this quest.
  
• Demonstrate ruthless sword of justice to enemies of the Pope and heal yourself the using pain of heretics. But only while striking using sword, because if you burn them, you are not gonna gain any heal. Direct sword blows are the best way of purification.
  
• Speed up siege progress effectively by destroying enemy pagans fortifications. Use for it drills, the newest invention of Pope Bain. They are not working very well, but we live in Dark Ages, what did you expect.

This makes Inquisitor a typical tank build, which additionally before being drafted into the papal army was once a one of king's artificers, so Inquisitor besides fighting, can improve all the "siege tools".

Inqusitor - Perk Deck

Infiltrator

Everything you need for his mission. Being surrounded is good for you and bad for your enemies.
In addition, feel the satisfaction of direct inflictioning pain, when every (almost every) time your blade is dipped in someone else's defiled by sins body.

PS: Hitting tied law enforcers or even Jokers can heal you too. Very sadistic.

Weapons (Optional)

It's medieval build, so it probably has to be created for medieval weapons!

Here are some options:

Primary

• Light Crossbow - For normal belts light crossbow is better choice than heavr. More ammunition, faster reloading, and so kills everything that moves by single headshot, even at the Death Wish. Even Dozer should be dead too even if hit him between the eyes.
  
  
• Heavy Crossbow - slightly worse choice for regular bolts, lower fire rate and less ammunition. More damage does not give us much, because to kill armored police enforcers or special enemies, we only need one headshot to kill them immediately. Light crossbow does the same, and heavier does not kill heavy armored enemies via bodyshot. After all, personally I like this version more, because of the climate reload animations.
  
  
• Light Crossbow Explosive - Papal alchemists's recent invention, arrows that explode! Direct shot usually kills enemy, or at least always stuns him, which is extremely useful for poring through hordes of infidels.
  
  
• Heavy Crossbow Explosive - The same invention as in the example above. In this case, the more damage are important because of the increased area damage. Personally, I recommend heavy crossbow for explosive bolts, because of the huge potential of destroying groups of unbelievers.

Why not have a bow? Because who saw heavy armored warrior playing with a twine on crooked stick!

• Flamethrower (Inquisitor) - Here's genius combination of our alchemists's liquid fire with a simple launcher designed by our artificers. Spread terror among the heretics by imposing the heaviest of all punishments - burn them alive.

Secondary

• Pistol crossbow explosive - Only good choice for a secondary weapon. As you can see, in this toy is using our alchemists greatest invention too. But seriously, the only good choice if you want to combine it with the simple crossbow as primary. Explosions can stun enemies, allowing you to avoid bad situations, and stun Dozers, so you can easily finish it using crossbow or jawelin.

Melee

• The greatsword - Combines good range with brute force, which only valiant men can tame. And by the way greatsword has a golden damage, so that opponents who have been hit even only once, usually immediately give up (on the DW must aim for head)
  
  

Other melee to use are not forbiden, but these barbarian weapons are unworthy of a true knight.

Throwable

• Javelin - This weapon kills every in one throw, no matter where you hit. (Also special enemies) The only exception are Dozers. To one-shot Dozer, you have to hit the exposed face. But in combination with an explosive bolts it should not be a problem.
  
  
• Molotov (Inquisitor) - A classic liquid fire. To punish mass heresy.

TL:DR
