Jian Infantry Captains are a medium melee infantry unit in Total War: Three Kingdoms. They are a Metal class retinue unit and are preferably grouped with Champion class heroes.

Description[]

  • The jian is a straight, double-edged sword known as the 'Gentleman of Weapons', and considered to be one of the four major weapons alongside the gun, dao and qiang. It takes a year of training before one is considered competent enough to use it, and so only the most skilled swordsmen are equipped with it. The role of the Jian Sword Guard is to hold the line against enemy attacks, and their swordsmanship, leather armour and gourd shields enable them to do this long after others have fallen to exhaustion.
