It is said that they are extremely good in combat but the mistake that many people make is that Dol Amroth's soldiers were all swan knights when in reality they were the elite heres an a couple text to support me "During the War of the Ring, on March 9, 3019, Prince Imrahil led a company of Swan Knights and 700 men at arms to Minas Tirith to help defend the City." notice the and  "Prince Imrahil led the group that rode to the aid of Faramir and the rear-guard who were retreating from Osgiliath when the forces of Sauron overran the Pelennor Fields on March 13. Gandalf rode with them, and the Winged Nazgûl fled before him." "Notable actions of the Knights during this battle included rescuing Faramir from the Southrons, and riding to the aid of the Rohirrim, fighting long and hard until the arrival of Aragorn." So ultimately i would say that the Swan knights should be for gondor what black uruks are for mordor and that there should also be just a regular Dol Amroth soldier whose armor and weapons are made like regular gondorians but the helmet would have really tiny wing's and the chest would have a swan instead of the white tree.(perhaps i should make a suggestion on this?)

I meant that it's nowhere said that swan knights are better than for example knights of Minas Tirith or riders of Rohan.
