Can the Balancers relics make Guardian decent at offense?

I haven't played much Nightreign since the DLC launched. I got caught up playing something else and then never bothered getting back into it until a few nights ago.

I've never been particularly fond of the Guardian. Mostly because turtling up and guarding is difficult (for me!) when I can't guarantee that the enemy will even look my way.

I collected both of the new Balancers relics and tried out a few games as Undertaker and Scholar. (Undertaker is fun, I probably lack the patience for Scholar - Besides these, my favorite characters are Duchess, Wylder, and Revenant).

I tried a game as Guardian with the two Balancers relics, and the third was a Guardian (Ult heals allies), Evergaol, and +3 Ult Charge(?) relic.

It seemed decent enough?

The nice thing about Guardian is that he seems to have massive innate poise, and health and stamina.

I was doing Shield Bash for a while until I got my hands on Loretta's Slash. The damage felt pretty decent the whole way through.

Though probably not optimal at all?
