Trooper

From Hellgatewiki.com

Darkspawn, Gremlin, and Imp Troopers are the melee fighters of their respective clans. They use swords and chase after your character to fight you toe-to-toe. What exactly differentiates them from each other is less clear. Here are the offiical descriptions:

Darkspawn Trooper
The elite warriors of the Darkspawn clans, these fierce demons wade into battle using every conceivable means of weaponry. While traditionally eschewing the weapons of man, some have been seen using the more advanced devices of the Templar, such as the Grappler, to devastating and surprising effect.

Gremlin Trooper
These foot-soldiers prefer to use hit and run tactics as opposed to standing toe to toe with usually physically superior foes. They have been seen using melee weapons in either one or both hands, depending on what they have been able to steal or retrieve from the streets and sewers of London.

Imp Troopers
These footsoldiers of the Imps are tenacious fighters that wield a single blade in combat, be it stolen or crafted by their own kind. As they commonly travel in small packs, Troopers can also deal many different types of damage, making them particularly troublesome.

From the descriptions, it sounds like Darkspawn Troopers are tougher and more willing to stand toe to toe in combat, while the Gremlins and Imps will retreat and move around during the fight. If any of these Troopers can actually dual wield, as the Gremlin description says, that ability has never been seen in a screenshot or gameplay movie.

Another trick of Troopers comes from Diabolists. Diabolists are shamans, able to cast a variety of spells, and including their ability to grant a shield of temporary invulnerability, they can cause Troopers to... well, we don't know. Attack with greater ferocity?
