If the enemy is far away, he uses his bow. If the mage is guarded, he again uses his bow, trying to hit him from cover. He doesn't rush headlong at the enemy, and if he feels the enemy is stronger, he will try to retreat, possibly crippling him beforehand (cutting tendons, etc.). In close combat, he uses a saber. A dagger is used rarely, usually against mages. He rarely uses it in conjunction with a sword, usually entering the fray during a critical moment (to deliver the final blow while the sword is used for blocking, or if he is left without a sword. although there is also a falchion). If he is nearby, he can use it. If the enemy has magical protection, he removes it.
