Steadfast even when surrounded, Guardians meet every attack with an unwavering shield and a carefully timed counterstrike. Their resolve allows them to outlast their enemies and remain standing when others might fall.
Guardian is a melee class that wields a Sword and Shield. Its strong defenses, blocking abilities, and control over enemy attention allow it to stand on the front line and protect its allies.
Natural strengths: Defense, survivability, blocking, and party protection.
