Acolyte

Acolytes are small, weak enemies that are encountered early on in the game. They first appear in Thralls of Doom and reappear frequently throughout later levels. Acolytes are very easy to defeat.

Appearance
Acolytes are short, pale creatures with black spikes running along the back of their head and spine. They carry a small sword that they wield in their right hand.

In Battle
Acolytes are one of the weakest enemies encountered in God of Blades. Their attacks are slow and inflict very little damage, and they are defeated by a single blow from any blade. When attacking, an Acolyte will hold their sword up and point it at The Nameless King and then pause for a moment. They will then perform a stab with their sword that inflicts a small amount of damage to the player. When fighting an Acolyte, parrying is almost never necessary because they can be defeated by one blow from a sword before they have the chance to stab.
