Guardian

ๅฎˆ่ญท่€… ยท Guardian โ€” An iron wall that holds back the world with a single shield

A combat class completely specialized in defense and party protection. While low on attack power, their unmatched defense and threat-generation ability allows them to absorb any enemy attack and shield their allies. Shield counters and guard-parries โ€” converting defense into offense โ€” are their signature techniques.

Origin

A concept derived from the frontline shield-bearers of the Spartan phalanx formation, combined with the fantasy party system. The archetype of the Tanker role.

Features

  • Taunt skills to concentrate enemy attacks on themselves
  • Shield Counter: a counter-attack immediately after blocking an enemy strike
  • Provides defensive buffs to the entire party
  • Complete immunity or high resistance to status ailments

Usage

The party's lifeline. An essential role to the point where some bosses are considered unbeatable without a guardian.

Weakness

In solo combat, insufficient attack power can leave them unable to finish off enemies, stuck in a perpetual stalemate.
