- This article is about the creature from Heroes of Might and Magic III. For other uses, see swordsman.
The swordsman is the fourth-level creature of the Castle faction in Heroes of Might and Magic III. It can be recruited from the barracks. The swordsman can be upgraded to the crusader.
Well armed and armored, swordsmen and crusaders are better all-around foot soldiers than their pikemen companions. Crusaders deliver two blows per attack.OffBck
The swordsman is a good melee unit, defending the ranged damage-dealers in the army, or charging ahead for a strike. A very useful creature in any Castle army.
Notes
- Sorsha, Catherine and Roland are specialists in swordsmen, and give them +1 to Attack and Defense per hero level.
