Unit Description
Joms Vikings are the best of the best, essentially unstoppable killing machines. Without armour piercing weapons, they are extremely difficult to bring down. Their elite status and high morale means they will continue to fight when the odds are against them, and unless severely outnumbered they will probably win the day anyway. Armour piercing missiles are the best counter against them.
Joms Vikings do not use their shields in melee because their axes are two-handed weapons, so they are not counted towards defense in frontal attacks.
