Among the Champions

Here is the best strat I know of;

When done correctly, each fight will last 45 seconds to 1 minute and you will have 75-85% health at the end.

1. Full shields. (duh)
2. Start fight BEHIND the Champion. This way when he runs out, he will be directly in front of you.
3. Charge.
4. At the end of the charge hold your right mouse button and tilt your camera so you come around the champion in a tight loop, all while spamming shield breaker. If done correctly you will have a small window which you can throw your lance before you come back into melee range directly in front of the champion. (Note: this is the hardest part to hold off correctly, just keep practicing to figure out the right distance.)

If the above steps are done correctly the champions will end up a 1 shield, and directly in front of you. From here on out, just use Thrust and wait for them to walk out again, repeating steps 2-4 when they do. If you can pull off the above steps correctly 2 times in a row or more, the enemy will be sitting with no shields for upwards of 10+ seconds per thrust chain.

Also remember to refresh your shields occasionally, as the Champion may never take down your shield themselves, and it will expire naturally. :P

NOTE: Sometimes the enemy will get off a Charge or Shield Breaker on you, or maybe even both. This is ok! Just refresh your shields, and keep to the above strat. There is no need to sacrifice the above strat to keep your shields max, but if you really must just walk beside the enemy until your are full. It will take some extra time, but you will be extremely safe.
