Evaluation
Swordsmen is a powerful tank that benefits greatly from the HighMorale buff but is hamstrung by not having a strong hero to pair with at the moment. Swordsmen can be made viable when paired with Monk for the high morale buff to trigger his Inspiring skill and other units that buffs healing, as he has decent self-healing from his Salvation skill. Swordsmen paired with Catherine is a strong pairing that can help you greatly in the Early to Mid game.
