Guardian
Guardians are devoted fighters who protect their allies and smite their enemies by drawing from the power of their virtues. True guardians are brilliant tacticians and selfless defenders who know how to empower their allies to achieve victory.

Virtues
A guardian’s virtues protect them, but they can elect to relinquish the benefits of those virtues to extend their power to nearby allies. This ability makes the guardian an excellent supportive fighter.
Virtue of Justice
The fire of justice burns enemies every few attacks.
Virtue of Courage
Guardians are granted aegis periodically while this virtue is active, blocking the next incoming attack.
Virtue of Resolve
Through resolve, guardians passively generate health, allowing them to venture into greater danger.
Skills
Guardian skills combine battlefield tactics with spiritual might.
Spirit Weapons
Guardians summon spirit weapons—ghostly hammers, bows, shields, and swords—to fight at their side for a limited time. These weapons can be commanded to inflict a powerful attack before disappearing.
Shouts
Guardians use shouts to aid allies or hinder enemies within earshot. By shouting for their companions to “Hold the Line!” guardians grant them regeneration and protection. Shouting “Retreat!” in a dire situation gives allies speed and aegis.
