In this Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord unit guide for version 1.3.12 (post–War Sails DLC), I’m ranking the Top 5 best sword-and-board infantry units you can field right now—based on what actually matters in battle: raw stats, weapon loadouts, armor values, shield quality, and battlefield abilities. If you’re trying to build an infantry core that can survive missile pressure, win shieldwall trades, and still shred enemies once the lines collide, this video breaks down what separates “good on paper” from dominant in real fights.
The ranking features five of Bannerlord’s most reliable frontline troops: Battanian Oathsworn, Vlandian Sergeant, Sturgian Heavy Spearman, Sturgian Heavy Axeman, and the Imperial Legionary. For each unit, I compare their practical performance—how they hold formation, how they trade in tight melee, what their gear enables (or limits), and where they fit best in an army composition—so you can confidently choose the right infantry for your playstyle. Whether you’re running a defensive shieldwall, grinding sieges, or looking for the best all-around frontline for campaigns and battles, this is your up-to-date Bannerlord 1.3.12 sword-and-shield infantry tier list.
