Sword deals 0 damage almost all the time!!!

[HIMALAYANs]

Hia, I am just up to the marble stone level and I have a problem - one of my two front line fighters has 11 points in sword, but even though they generally hit, they almost always do 0 damage. Is this a bug, or armour (noticed it with crabs and a cave troll mostly) should I start again with maces?

Armour. Ogres have high protection.

Swords are by far the best weapon type. Maces are the worst. You're doing 0 damage to ogres a lot because your skill is low.

Also, make sure your champion isn't starving; if they are, it halves their attack power.

Maces are the worst.

Why? I like the mace, especially the ice pick. I always take one fighter with a sword and another with a mace.

[minmay]

Because they do the least damage, due to having the worst speeds.
