I found these rather weak. With my beginner weapon, I could easily auto-swing them as their weapons were too short, and them not fast enough, to charge through the opening gap between strikes. From no gear, I beat the entire catacomb dungeon and got enough gold ores to get some kickass upgrades. Seemed a little too easy for me. They'd need some range and maybe a few abilities to flesh them out. Currently, they just blindly charged me and died.
