Expert Guardian

Unlock the full potential of the Expert Guardian troop type in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. Discover skill values and how to best utilize this powerful unit.

Alright, let's talk about the Expert Guardian in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. This is a high-tier unit, and understanding its stats is key to knowing where it fits in your army. Think of it as a really solid defensive backbone, especially if you're focusing on infantry.

Expert Guardian Skill Values

Here’s a breakdown of what the Expert Guardian brings to the table:

As you can see, they absolutely shine with One Handed (110) and Athletics (90), making them fantastic frontline fighters who can hold their ground and dish out damage. Their Bow skill (90) is also surprisingly high for what's essentially an infantry unit, giving them some ranged support capability. They're decent with Riding (60), but you're not going to be using them as cavalry. Their lower scores in Two Handed, Polearm, Crossbow, and Throwing mean you probably shouldn't be kitting them out with those weapon types if you want them to perform at their best.
