Myrmidon

A Myrmidon is a sword-using class, often separate from Mercenary or Hero classes, although they have been linked early on. Myrmidons use special katana-esque swords as well as the more common conventional swords other classes can use. Compared to other sword users, the Myrmidon has a considerably lesser amount of defense, but are able to deal stronger attacks of higher accuracy. Myrmidons are also known for their higher percentage of dealing critical attacks. 
===Combat===
The Myrmidon's superior speed and skill over other similar classes make them very formidable foot solders, but their decreased health, strength, and defense make them difficult to protect against quick and accurate opponents. When using a Myrmidon, it is important to check your surroundings. While they can easily deal with magic users and thieves with one attack, the reverse, however, can't be said to be the same. Against heavier enemies, the speed makes them strong evaders, but their typical mediocre strength at best leaves something to be desired. Should a Myrmidon be attacked by a slower unit, they are often able to kill or heavily damage their enemy in a counter attack. The constant critical attacks make for a very useful ability, though it's dangerous to rely on luck, especially when it comes to classes lacking in defense.
===Promotions===
Myrmidons promote to the Swordmaster class. While their stats as a swordmaster raise in a balanced way, making the class almost entirely the same (minus the added strength), the chance of critical attacks rise even higher. 
===Player Characters===
Michael is the only recruitable Myrmidon. He promotes into a Swordmaster. It is assumed that David was a Myrmidon early on.
