	Bannerets are an elite enemy archetype in the 2020 video game ''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]''. They are the most challenging guard archetype in the game, being able to adapt to Eivor's moves in real time. Their armor is some of the strongest in the game and features few weak spots, and they are also able to command nearby [[archer]]s to loose a volley of [[arrow]]s at Eivor, who must quickly dodge out of the targeted area to avoid taking damage.
