Category:Swordsmen

The standard form of Infantry in Shadow and Flame, Swordsmen usually make up the core of each of the various Faction's armies. Melee Units specialising in hand-to-hand combat, they range from the well-equipped and highly-trained Soldiers of Gondor to the disorganised but numerically-superior hordes of Mordor Orcs.

Generally, Swordsmen have the advantage when fighting against Pikemen, and will be weaker against Archers, but this is not a hard-and-fast rule - a particular Unit's Rank, the upgrades they have received and / or the abilities they have will also affect the outcome of a battle.
