A tower shield man with a glaive and a skirmisher with a blue, buckler, and a jav.
Glaive aims for the legs.
Shield man pervents the flanker from rushing the other two.
Skirmisher holds the jav with the tip down to help block leg swings and also with a wrist flick and toss he can toss the jav just far enough for a quick leg shot. And if the target dodges it, the glaive/sheild can rush and slaughter the off foot fighter
If you add anyone add another glaive and skirmisher. Shields are needed at the front. And if you do kill the flankers you have a nice team ready to go counter flanking.
