==Memory Modules==
{{#lst: Memory Module Reference | Guardian}}<br />
==Tips==

* Use the [[Viking Riotshield|Riotshield]], Wicked module and the [[Items|RV Rebuke System]] can allow you to tank huge amounts of damage while reflecting even more damage back at the attacker. This can be particularly effective against enemies with low-damage and high-ROF attacks, including certain bosses.
* Dashing while standing still with the [[Viking Riotshield|Riotshield]] still enables the shieldbash. This makes for a powerful short-range attack that can stun-lock opponents. Synergizes well with [[Items|Lightning Boots]], particularly if you're already Prestiged and reached level 25.<!-- Insert advice on accessorizing the class here --><br />
