Behavior
Armored vindicators are hostile toward players on sight, and rush toward a player. When attacking, the armored vindicator raises its main hand, brandishing a double axe or Whirlwind. The diamond variant has higher health and damage. While not attacking, the armored vindicator lowers its arms and weapon and looks around for threats. These illagers have a larger health pool and will hit the player repeatedly even when being attacked.
Like diamond armored pillagers, diamond armored vindicators are not stunned by normal attack damage except some artifacts and any weapon with the Stunning enchantment.
