Shieldbearer

Shieldbearers are used by the guard commanders to quell prison riots, which they do most effectively. Covered with a special black mage-made armour, Shieldbearers can smash aside any resistance with their massive steel shields, which can often break bones. Shieldbearers cannot use their swords as effectively as normal guards can though, because of all their heavy armour. They are not very fast, but their swords and shields combined make them worthy opponents.

Special Notes: This unit is able to slow its enemies, halving their movement speed and attack damage until they end a turn. The steadiness of this unit reduces damage from some attacks, but only while defending.
