Strengths
+ Line Infantry. The Fusiliers are capable of firing synchronized volleys to devastating effect.
+ Block of Muskets. Due to their size, the Fusiliers are good for blocking paths or controlling strategic positions due to their high number.

Weaknesses
- Heartless. Though trainned troops, the Fusiliers know their place in the food chain of war. Suffering high losses or engaging in close quarters is enough to dishearten most of their ranks and cause the entire unit to flee.
- Unarmoured. The uniforms utilized by the Fusiliers do not include any armour, or shields, making them prey to ranged attacks and even weaker if an enemy manages to engage them in hand to hand.

Historical Information
Though blackpowder weaponry and line infantry was used prior to the rise of the Iron Cult, it was in the late 900s and early 910s when the Fusiliers received enough attention by their masters to become a force to be reckoned with. After several campaigns and experimentations, the Fusilier regiments, initially policing forces in cities and the countryside, finally gained the chance to fight for their place as one of the most renown Iron Cult branches of the Iron Path.

During the Munrian War, the Fusiliers demonstrated the power of the Line Infantry, and its effectiveness against the creatures inhabiting Terra Firma, with many occupied territories being intergraded to similar military dogmas afterwards.
