173.168.6.253: /* Special Seekers */

[[File:Seeker.jpg|thumb|right|250px|CG art of Seeker guard]]
== Description ==
Seekers are fairly rare enemies of mediocre strength and speed. They are slightly more heavily armored than a normal guard but less than [[Brutes]] and carry long weapons such as spears or halberds.

== Combat ==
Seekers can be rather annoying in combat due to their special attack.

*Normal attacks: like the Brutes', Seekers' normal attacks can be blocked by [[Assassin's Creed II Weapons|any weapon]], but can't be countered with any [[Swords and Maces|sheathable weapon]] or [[Short Blade|short blade]]. They can be countered (lethally) with [[Heavy weapons|heavy weapons]], which are carried by [[Brutes]], by [[Spears and Halberds|long weapons]], carried by the Seekers themselves, or by [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]]'s [[Hidden Blade]](s), although the timing for the latter is rather hard to get because of how short the timing window is (a fraction of a second) and how difficult it is to know when this window is during the Seeker's attack. You can also counter a Seeker's normal attacks with [[Fists|fists]] (although the timing window is short), which will disarm the Seeker and, followed up by a quick attack to the unarmed foe, will kill him. Dodging a Seeker's attacks is another option, and should be followed up with an offensive of your own. The maximum length of a Seeker's combo is three hits. Seeker's attacks do mediocre damage, on par with a Standard's.
*Special attack: Sweep: The Seeker's only special attack, the Sweep, sweeps Ezio's feet out from under him. This special does no damage and does not open Ezio to attacks, since no enemy can strike Ezio while he is on the ground. It may slow Ezio down further, should he be caught in a fight and need, for whatever reason, to get out of the fight and be on his way quickly. It may also cost him the chance to kill a freshly disarmed enemy and, in this sense, may be considered more of a defensive move than an offensive one. This attack may be dodged, but you have to be quick, because it takes the Seeker only a fraction of a second to prepare this special. A Seeker is about to perform a Sweep if he raises his weapon up and to his right at an approximately 45 degree angle. He swings it quickly, so be ready to dodge.
*Attacking: the best times to attack a Seeker are after disarming him or dodging an attack. Another good way to kill a Seeker is to assassinate him when he is about to start searching a hiding spot. The fastest way to kill a Seeker is to simply grab and kill him (this can be done even if the Seeker is at full health).

== Intelligence, Agility, and Methods of Escape ==
Seekers are extremely intelligent, and are not fooled easily. In fact, even once you have gotten out of sight, hiding or blending is ill-advised unless out of the LKP (Last Known Position) circle, as Seekers have the ability to search hiding spots. Keep in mind, however, that their free-running skills are very limited, and they will not be able to follow you on rooftops, making a rooftop hiding place once you have broken his line of sight, or simply free-running away from him, excellent methods of escape.

== Ranking ==
Information and pictures on Seeker rankings would be excellent here, please.

== Special Seekers ==
 Rodrigo Borgia, during a certain fight with him, attacks and defends much like a seeker. He may even use the sweep attack the seekers use. Be warned, he has far more health than one.

173.168.6.253: /* Intelligence, Agility, and Methods of Escape */

[[File:Agile1.jpg|thumb|Artwork of an Elite Agile]]
== Description ==
One of the new guard archetypes is the Agile which, as the name suggests is a very fast, lightly armored enemy. They even run faster than Ezio and also have the free-run ability leading to chase sequences. They wield short weapons such as daggers and other short blades.

== Weaponry ==

== Intelligence, Agility, and Methods of Escape ==
Agiles are very fast, so taking to the roofs will not stop them. They can do all the free run acrobatics Ezio can do. The best method of escape is just damaging then throwing them then running to a hiding spot.

== Ranking ==

If someone could please add images and information on agile rankings here, that would be helpful.
