==Combat==
The '''Agile guards''', or simply '''Agiles''', were lightly-armored, quick moving [[guards]]. They were one of the few types capable of outrunning [[Assassins]], and were also skilled [[Freerunning|free runners]].
[[File:Short Weapons AC2.jpg|right|thumb|[[Throwing Knives]](Top) and Short blade(Bottom)]]
Agiles wield knives and short blades, such as the [[Sultan's Knife]] or [[Notched Cinquedea]] .


If you confront an Agile, you can attack him until you see that he is becoming tired (you will know he is tired when he is lowering his arms and panting), then, he will be an easy prey for countering or for a combo. This is explained by the trainer in [[Monteriggioni]].
Agiles more commonly fled to alert nearby guards, rather than face an enemy directly. Should they pursue a target alongside other guards, they would usually catch up to him first, and injure him with the [[short blade]]s they wielded.


When they do draw their weapon out, they will just do weak attacks and only attack when he gets an opportunity to strike. Since they are very fast, they will dodge most of Ezio's basic attacks and then sometimes throw in a quick attack of their own. Also, Agiles are not very strong, which means they won't be able to counter Ezio's counter-kills. Their armor strength is identical to that of Standard Guards.

A minor game mechanic that can be exploited to ensure escape from Agiles on foot is to jump whenever you see them catching up to you, as this will cause the Agile to stop running.

An Elite Agile.

The Agile guards, or simply Agiles, were lightly-armored, quick moving guards. They were one of the few types capable of outrunning Assassins, and were also skilled free runners.

Agiles more commonly fled to alert nearby guards, rather than face an enemy directly. Should they pursue a target alongside other guards, they would usually catch up to him first, and injure him with the short blades they wielded.

Combat

Though Agiles' attacks were neither powerful nor particularly damaging, they compensated with their speed, and their ability to dodge most enemy attacks. This rapid form of combat made them deadly in large groups.[1]

Ezio Auditore could most easily defeat them with patience, by either taunting them or waiting for them to attack, then countering.[1] Roman Agiles were skilled enough to only be defeated in this manner, or during a kill streak.[2]

Alternatively, Agiles could be defeated with a chain of attacks, should they lower their arms and begin panting, indicating that they were tired. This tactic was explained to Ezio by the trainer in Monteriggioni.[1]

Should Agiles pursue a fleeing target, they could follow him easily across streets and rooftops alike. They would often strike their enemy with a dagger as soon as they came within range, slowing him down and allowing their allies to catch up.[1]

Characteristics

A Roman Agile.

Agiles were found in all cities, though more often the larger ones. They were usually found near more powerful guards, such as Brutes and Seekers.[1]

Certain Agiles with a shinier and more abstract armor design distinguished them as higher-ranked and more skilled than regular Agiles.[1]
