wielders

Those who brandish

Wielders are people who wield something—typically power, authority, or weapons.

The word implies active use and control: wielders of political influence, sword wielders in fantasy games.

It appears most often in contexts involving power dynamics or combat, suggesting those who hold and exercise some instrument or capability.
