Maelduins are quite strong enemies. They have quite high strength and defense, and above average speed. However, their skill is slightly low, so they rarely hit. Still, they are able to use both axes and bows, which is quite useful for them, able to attack from one or two spaces away. Still, they can be quickly defeated with a [[sword (weapon)|sword]] user or a [[magic]]-user, since they have quite low resistance.
