Drakengard/Enemies

Empire Soldier
The Empire soldier is the first enemy that you will encounter in Drakengard. They always are very weak, although they can harass in packs, but if you find a couple on their own then they are easy to take down.

There is also a Black Soldier. If he stays alive then he will keep his squad strong, so always knock the white ones flying and go in for the kill. The Black Soldier can protect against hits, so always try and use combo-attacks against these guys.

After you upgrade your weapons, they can take down loads of enemies in one or two hits and it will help you a lot.

Empire Axeman
The Empire axeman is a short, strong soldier. Be careful with these ones, especially when they are wearing Black or Red armor because then they are really strong.

These little soldiers harass in packs and will seek and destroy Cain if on the ground, although they will also be stationed near ballistas and catapults.

Again, like the Standard soldier, upgrade your weapons and dragon powers because then it will make it a lot easier. In the last level, because there are a lot of Soldiers, Axemen, Empire Commanders, Mages and a couple of Ghoul-Armors (the ones with the dark, eerie feel to them), you'll want to find as many weapons as you can as well.

Crimson Soldier
Crimson armored soldiers have automatic projectiles that fire after being hit by magic. Note that this doesn't apply to combo special attacks.

Ravens
Large griffin-like beasts, ravens circle around you while firing sonic blasts like their miniature bat allies.
