Seeker

Description

Seekers are fairly rare enemies of mediocre strength and speed. They are slightly more heavily armored than Standards 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 any weapon, but can't be countered with any sheathable weapon or short blade. They can be countered (lethally) with heavy weapons, which are carried by Brutes, by long weapons, carried by the Seekers themselves, or by 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.
