Vaegir Guards can be seen to best Nord Huscarls in melee, likely due to the Guards favoring two-handed axes in battle, allowing them to destroy their opponents' shields and then strike enemies in the head for one-hit kills during the brief stuns caused when their guard is broken.
They are the least-shielded top-tier infantry in Calradia, moreso than Sarranid Guards. These units are slightly more mobile than their Swadian Sergeant or Rhodok Sergeant counterparts, but their general lack of shields leave them very vulnerable to archer fire. They are obtained from upgrading Vaegir Infantry for 80 denars.
Vaegir Guards are the top-tier infantry units in the Vaegir troop line, the other top tier units being Vaegir Marksmen and Vaegir Knights.
