Defender
Difficulty:
8/10
Even though this champions name would indicate that they are sworn protectors of the innocent, do not be fooled. Well versed in the art of single handed combat, the Defender can give just as much as it can take! Striking the enemies repeatively grants them further stacking bonuses to their defenses whilst also dealing heavy damage and granting a momentary boost to their movement speed! The bulwark they carry isn't just for blocking attacks and looking valourous, it's weight is key allowing the Defender to hurl it at enemies which will rebound back granting a seemless fighting style never before seen! The Defender, a vanguard of the battlefield, can leap into the midst of the fight forcing all enemies to turn on him or towards an ally to close the gap and get closer to them. If the odds are stacked against the party, the Defender can raise up their shield to create a holy echo of it blocking all attacks and abilities from passing through - truely living up to the Defender name!
