Confirmation that the Swordbearer will be able to hit multiple foes. I love it, will make for some interesting choices strategically and makes him a lot more viable as a champion creature even though he doesn't quite look the part

Actually the golems look about 1/4 smaller then the crosbowman..

Technically, doesn't the screenshot just show that he has two targets to choose from? I mean, I'm not saying that he can't attack them both, because I don't know, but the way I understand the interface, the game has just put a red tile underneath any target within his range?

I've never seen Heroes show all possible attack options like what you're suggesting in a previous game and I feel confident it's a hint from the fellas giving us a little nod to a sweep attack, but you're right I can't be 100%

On last picture you can see in damage description mentioning of Sweep
so we can be sure he has cleave

also question is if he has cleave/sweep how big it is is it only on 2 creatures or more?

We still don't know that yet, and how different it will be from Cerberus attack.

Now imagine him having both Cleave and Sweep, attacking more targets and if he kills some units in stack he can attack for second time.

That would be the true Champion for Haven.

in heroes 5 stronghold had tier 5 orc unit with sweepcleave so its good idea.

Cleave+Sweep good enough Champion tier unit for me!

Fixed that up a bit.

Basically, sweep is like a Hydra/H3/5cerberus attack, right? Any  clues onto how big this sweep is?

I just think...
Here we see that swordbearer have a very low speed, actualy two squares:


But here we see that swordmaster have a high speed - about 7 squares on the start of turn and even after morale:


I think it's a very big range between them not normal.
So, as we know Haven's racial skill is the Righteousness. Maybe that skill can give a full streinght to the unit after morale trigged. But on the first shot swordbearer leads by Academy hero, so this skill didn't works and swordbearer probably can take the turn by the morale in a half strength, like in Heroes 6.
That's can be the reason why swordbearer have so low speed.

In additional we can see that in the battle log two effects:  +1 move count and  +1 attack count. May be it's effects of racial skill, for example: expert gives both full move and attack point, novice only one of them or some.
