Best Elden Ring Nightreign Guardian build

What is the best Elden Ring Nightreign Guardian build? If a humanoid bird wearing a suit of armor wasn't already peak design, FromSoft has fully committed to the bit by giving Nightreign's avian avatar a halberd. However, the Guardian won't fly high if you clip his wings with a suboptimal setup.
The Guardian is one of the easiest Elden Ring Nightreign classes to get your head around, but don't let that diminish the talon-ted tank's importance in your flock. Boasting solid team-wide utility and a clutch factor that comes with his innate survivability, the bird is the word when taking on the Elden Ring Nightreign bosses. Read on to learn how to get the best out of Elden Ring Nightreign's Guardian.
