I don't think Christianity has anything to do with Norse mythology but I'm no expert so I could be entirely wrong.

You could however change the name suggestion from "Nord Armored Paladin" to "Nord Armored Hersir". Just being an upgraded mob of the normal mode variant and give them 2-handers so that they resemble a zweihander

Something like this?

Spoiler

The shader is not quite right and the colors are just quickly sketched, but I guess its possible to get the idea of it.

More an idea for the new Ragnarok Mode 

Son on Fafnir 

Spoiler

It is rumored that once every 1000 moons a child is born with White hair bearing the mark of Fafnir. There are whispers that the women who give birth to these children die on instant when the child is born.  These children are then quickly taken away by a highly secrective group working under King Ragnar himself. These children are then put under his care and only recieve the best training and equipment posssible in the nordic homelands (made from the remains of Fafnir?)  to become King Ragnars chosen. 

(the ingame equipment now doenst stand true to their awesomenes so im just making up names here)
Body:  Chest of Fafnir
Head: Horns of Fafnir
Foot: Feet of Fafnir
Hands: Claws of Fafnir
Weapons: Fafnirs Grip  (Mythical 2 Handed)

These guys are also imume versus knockback and are only fully damaged by someone wielding the legendary sword Gram (Mythical 1 handed ?)
They also have an overall high rate of dropping Fafnirs Scales.


Abit too hard maybe? 

Perhaps they should have a single small weak spot (like their heel). That'd probably make for an interesting change of pace.

We already have such enemies, Spawn of Loki, they are most vulnerable at their feet. (Still tough though..)
Apart from that, your idea summarized/generalized:
  A bot with awesome armor and a two-handed sword.
  (The part with "vulnerable only by.." is quite queasy, puts many classes at disadvantage.)

I am sure you think of something better.  (Or design the Fafnir armor..)

Haven't played in a while so I didn't realize (also usually play as a commando only). But I don't think the devs should discount adding multiple vulnerabilities to enemies, especially to one that sounds as monstrous as this Son of Fafnir has been made out to be.

As for Punishment's idea for the Son of Fafnir being impervious to normal weapons, it certainly sounds interesting. To avoid making it overly difficult, maybe the rounds leading to this wave could have enemies wielding a weapon like "Shard of Gram" which also inflicts full damage. Then again, a bots wielding two handed swords (aside from Prince) generally don't do much against a decent shield line, so that might not be necessary.

I agree that finding proper armor for the unit will likely be a challenge.

If they wielded 2 handed axes though... Varangian Guards usually tear apart my SKS at a frightening pace :o
