Assassin's Creed
- "Hashashin!"
- ―Guard on Damascus
During the course of the first Assassin's Creed, there are two types of guards: Soldiers and Archers. The archers are mostly the same, but the soldiers vary on skill, which can be identified by their helmets. The shinier the helmet, the stronger the guard.
Assassin's Creed II
- "Assassino!"
- ―Guard on Venice
In Assassin's Creed II, there are five types of enemy guards:
Regular Guards
Those are the "standard" type of guard which can be found almost everywhere on the ground. However, they use a large variety of swords and maces. Those regular troops are divided into three ranks themselves: Militia, Elite and Leaders.
Militia is the weakest ranks. They wear no armour, and can be easily killed (with one counter-kill). They are also the most easily frightened while combats.
Elite guards are stronger, they wear armour and need three counter-kills to be beaten.
Leaders are probably the best fighters and most tenacious of all the soldiers. Like their Elite guards counterparts, they are armoured (slightly more than the Elites, especially around the face for the helmet) and last very long against Ezio's counter-attacks. They also hardly give up their weapons, making them hard to disarm whereas the other ranks and types of soldiers.
The Regular Guards are not especially agile but can climb up to the rooftops in order to follow Ezio (while not as fast as him).
Seekers
The Seeker, also called "Paranoid" is one of the new special guard types. They are constantly looking for hiding spots (such as the haystacks) and check them (although Ezio can counter-kill the seeker if that happens). They are armed with long spears or halberds, giving them an increased reach in combat.
Agiles
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.
Brutes
The Brutes are heavily armored and equipped (two-handed weapons such as heavy swords and axes), and rather slow guards. Their armours that cover almost every part of teir bodes make them tough to bring down, but also make them cumbersome and slow. They are not very intelligent, and won't be able to tell Ezio from anyone else in a crowd. A good way to make short work of them is to disarm them and counterattack.
Archers
The Archers are guarding the rooftops. They are armed with bows and a swords (sometimes maces instead of swords), and warn Ezio on sight to leave the place, no matter the notoriety. Approching them will make them to fight. During combat, they are as strong as regular militias. While Florentine and Tuscan archers can be killed with one throwing knife, archers in the other cities and regions (such as Venice and Romagna) need two throwing knives to be taken down.
