- This article is about the creature from Heroes of Might and Magic V. For other uses, see vindicator.
The vindicator is the alternate upgrade of the footman, the third-level creature of the Haven town, in Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East.
Vindicators are warriors who understand the advantages of holy zeal when fighting. Their dedication has given them the ability to Cleave, increasing their ability to attack those who would dare stand against them.OffBck *
Skilled swordsmen are always a prized asset on the battlefield. Protected by heavy armour and armed with double-bladed swords, Vindicators are always to be found leading the attack, cutting through the defences of the enemy and opening the way for their infantry to advance.OffBck *
The vindicator has a higher attack and lower defense than the squire, and it Cleaves instead of Shielding others and Bashing. This means that the vindicator does more damage, but it does little to prevent damage to itself and others. A more aggressive unit than the defensive squire.
