The Swordwrath, known as "Swordmen" in the Armory, are units in the Order that appeared during the earlier events of Stick War, before later reappearing in the series for it's following media. In the very beginnings of the war, the Swordwrath served as the only hand-to-hand combat unit available, favored more so than the pricey Archidon.

Their glory was short-lived, however, as they were soon superseded by the well-trained and superior Speartons on the battlefield. Even after their status had faded, they still remained powerful and their following remained lively due to their dispensability and strength.

While their most notable inclusion was in that of the Order Empire, the Swordwrath was originally devised by the Swordwrath Empire. After multiple failed attempts at redemption, the Swordwrath Empire fell and left the Order with their signature weapon, transforming the basic clubmen into the true form of Swordwrath.

They are followers and believers of "Swordwrath", the Way of the Sword.

As the Order began to become an active participant in the warring conflict, so did they proceed in entering the realm of military dominance. The once peaceful nation, attacked on all sides, began their conquest after developing a basic weapon of protection, the Swordwrath.

The Swordwrath, as their only source of strength during their conquering of Archidonis, would soon play a key role on the battlefield.

Once reaching the field of Archidonis, two Swordwrath are created (by the game) and sent off to order an attack. The fight then goes on by the Player's request, and the battle is eventually won.

During the events before the stage Attack the Swordwrath, only their footspeed could be upgraded, and they were stuck with basic clubs instead of the weapons they were fighting against.

After The War Begins, Swordwrath fight off an ambush from the Natives, who showed just how significant the Swordwrath could be in larger numbers. Afterwards, the Order clubmen acquire true sword technologies from their respective rebel empire, and fulfill their highest abilities. At this point, all possible upgrades for the Swordwrath are available.

When the Order's conflicts reignited another rebel uproar, the Swordwrath were one of two units (the other being Miners) chosen to lead the expedition through Inamorta a second time to straighten rebel forces out. Unlike the first game, the Swordwrath are given the Swords in the start.

During the tutorial, three Swordwrath are required to be built, and are forced to kill an opposing Swordwrath and Spearton.

No pivotal role is played again by the unit, as Swordwrath were there from the start of the conquest, and hence are just an optional tool at the Player's side.

The Swordwrath can be used if the player selects the Order Empire for a game round. Unlike the other games in the series, Swordwrath do not need to be used at all.

Rage's icon.

Rage is a Swordwrath's only ability. Researching it costs 50 gold and 50 Mana. It takes 60 seconds to research. It can first be performed in Stick War: Order Empire.

When activated, a Swordwrath will lose some of their health, glow red and have their movement speed and attack rate greatly increased, which is the equivalent to increased damage. The Swordwrath will also let out a war cry to audibly indicate its usage to both you and the enemy (if the screen is close enough). A Swordwrath cannot use Rage if it's health is too low. A group of Swordwrath using rage is ideal for chasing a retreating enemy. A large group of Swordwrath can easily raze through a group of units. Rage can also be used to retreat as well, using its speed boost to run away.

Rage, in the terms of Stick War: Order Empire, is the first unlockable ability, falling second on the ability tree. However, technically the Castle Unit is first, being set as the default ability in the game.

Of course, Rage can be performed without need to unlock the ability in Stick Empires, with the ability tree being absent from that game entirely.

Merics can heal the health lost from Rage, so using Merics with Swordwrath that have Rage is a good way to compensate for the lost health.

A mass of Raging Swordwrath, combined with many Albowtrosses with Blazing Bolts, is a potential counter to a mass of Shadowrath, but one must act quickly to amass enough swords and Albowtrosses and make good use of Miner Walls and Castle Archers before the ninjas come and slaughter your army. When facing a ninja mass as Order, one must often assume a defensive position (turtling).

A good way to counter a mass of Raging Swordwrath is to use lots of Bombers (as Chaos) or to have a Magikill(as Order). Electric Wall can kill Swordwrath in less than a second, and Swordwrath cannot touch Bombers, and the Bombers' AoE will slaughter the mass of Swordwrath. As Elemental, you can try doing Scorch or having an Infernos. Scorch can blow up Swordwrath, and Vastolis can annihilate them as well.

Rage can be used for other purposes as well. For example, a player can use Rage on Swordwrath to make them get to an area faster. Rage can also be used to escape faster, or to chase down an enemy army.

In Stick War: Legacy and Stick War III, Rage was removed from the Swordwrath and reworked into a Spell (Swordwrath Rage and Rage respectively).

The Swordwrath leaps forward and performs an overhead swing with his weapon for increased damage. This ability was introduced in Stick War: Legacy.

The leap attack deals 250% of the Swordwrath's base damage. When player-controlled, the leap attack is executed by performing a quarter-circle forward with the control stick and pressing the attack button.

Leap now deals 150% of the Swordwrath's base damage and stuns the target, and has a 30 second cooldown. Additionally, the ability's hitbox now covers the entire distance leaped instead of just the area in front of the Swordwrath when the leap ends.

While user-controlled, Leap now has a dedicated button.

Swordwrath, as appearing in Stick War.

Swordwrath are black stick figures, generally lacking any armor or clothing whatsoever. They appear hunched over their choice armaments - swords - as if they were protecting their weapons from harm's way.

The Swordwrath carry a sword called a Spatha, a type of straight and long sword used for slicing. While not in combat, the Spatha will remain in the unit's hand while standing, walking, or running. If close to an opponent or struck, however, the sword will be pulled back to partially cover the Swordwrath's body, protecting the bearer from some attack.

Unpgraded Swordwrath wield clubs, These clubs are black in color and have silver spikes, Similar to the giant clubs.

Similar to the first game, Swordwrath are black stick figures, though they now hold their weapons in a less dramatic stance.

The Swordwrath carry a now-genericized longsword, still serving the same purpose as a Spatha. While not in combat, the Spatha will remain in the unit's hand while standing, walking, or running. If close to an opponent or struck, however, the sword will be pulled back to partially cover the Swordwrath's body, protecting the bearer from some attack. If close to an opponent or struck, however, the sword will be slung towards the attacker, as if the sword was a handheld spear.
