Guardians start off at level 100 and may equip [[Greatsword Weapon Family|greatswords]], [[Sword Weapon Family|one-handed swords]], [[Spear Weapon Family|spears]], and shields. Their exclusive skill tree is Barricade (''てっぺき, Teppeki''), featuring a set of abilities that are immediately useful, focusing on defending the entire party at once and damaging enemies with a variety of Light-elemental attacks. Guardians also have superior healing magic compared to Paladins, allowing them to ease the burden of dedicated healers when the party is in a pinch. | ||
