Strengths: Has a shield and a decent sword, very agile, doesn't lose much fighting prowess when a limb is severed (unless it's his sword arm...)
Weaknesses: Relatively low body strength, easy to hit legs
These aged warriors brought back from the dead are a threat to any adventurer, but with a
little patience (and skill) one can easily turn the tables on these non feeling undead.
The presence of a shield presents a slight problem, that coupled with their annoying habit
of jumping and slashing makes them difficult to hit. Except for their legs, which are
vulnerable (and surprisingly fragile). Exploit this weakness, and hack out their feet from
under them. I personally use a mid level swords star position, and then slash down (while
turning to add extra force) across the legs.
{in vsim mode this is accomplished by holding the '6' as your start position and ending with '1'. Don't forget to use extend to add more range and force to your attack}
Or if you're brave (or stupid?), you can simply crouch and merrily slash away at those feet (just keep your head on your shoulders...)
