Captain “Our assault begins now. Start placing your towers.” - Captain, Wave 1 on Expert Mode, Ranked Up |
Description
The Elite Swordsman is the first enemy encountered on Ranked Up Expert Mode on Wave 1 and weirdly appears on regular Expert Mode on Wave 31. It has 
6 health, 
1 defense, and moves at an above average speed.
Lore
"Now wielding two swords, they are much more powerful, though to an extent."
Appearance
The Elite Swordsman looks somewhat identical to the Swordsman, although its skin and outfit are both black in appearance now. The said outfit still retains the wristbands. It also wields 2 swords in each hand, and a white, glowing diamond is located near its chest.
Tactics
- Snipers and Surveyors can easily deal with Elite Swordsman.
- Demolitionists can wipe out hordes of Elite Swordsman.
Trivia
- Oddly, the Elite Swordsman appears in regular Expert Mode during Wave 31, making it the first Ranked-Up exclusive enemy to appear in a regular gamemode.
- This also makes the Elite Swordsman the only non-canon enemy in Expert Mode, as all Ranked-Up Expert enemies are considered non-canon.
- The Elite Swordsman is barely slower (<10%) than the regular Swordsman. The precise difference can be seen if they both spawn side by side on Enemy Randomizer and can also be seen easier with 'Impossible' or 'True Army' attributes.
