Vlandian Swordsman

Master the Vlandian Swordsman in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord! Get the breakdown of their skill values for One Handed, Two Handed, Polearm, and more. Learn how to best utilize them.

Alright, let's talk about the Vlandian Swordsman in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. These guys are a core part of the Vlandian infantry line, and understanding their stats is key to knowing how to use them effectively. Think of them as the bread and butter of your Vlandian army's frontline.

Here's a look at their skill values:

As you can see, they absolutely excel in One Handed and Polearm combat, both maxed out at 100. Their Athletics is also a perfect 100, which means they'll be moving around the battlefield efficiently and have good stamina. They're decent with Two Handed weapons and Throwing, but don't expect them to be archers or crossbowmen – their ranged skills are pretty low. Riding is also not their strong suit.

What this means for you: When you're fielding Vlandian Swordsmen, you want them in the thick of melee. They're built to get up close and personal, holding the line with their excellent one-handed and polearm skills. Don't try to use them as skirmishers or ranged support; their strength lies in brutal close-quarters combat.
