Description
Guards have powerful defensive skills, they are trained to protect others even if it means putting their own lives in harm's way.
Guard:
Origin: unknown
A Guard is perfect for players who enjoy defensive game play. The guard has very powerful physical defensive skills and is able to wear the meanest and most exclusive armors available in Sorcery Quest. They can also be raised into powerful counter-attack champions dealing massive physical damage; however, this requires certain passive skill preparations. The guard acts well as a party leader.
Strengths:
1. Insanely high physical protection.
2. Can protect more than 1 character in the back row. Also a good starting party leader.
3. Very easily targeted by enemy monsters (less risk to the rest of the party).
Weaknesses:
1. May be weaker against magical attacks/skills compared to rogue or spell caster classes.
2. Limited use of weapons.
3. Very easily targeted by enemy monsters (might die more easily).
Tip: Pay attention to agility and resilience and then strength. Agility and resilience make use of the guard's strong ability for counter-attacks and parries.
