Guardian

The Meat Shield of Archlight Online. The Guardian is a powerful, high defense and high health melee weapon user. The Guardian has multiple healing spells along with a taunt. The Guardian's shielding skill rises faster than any other class on Archlight, however with high health and high defense the cost of damage comes with it. Through holy magic the guardian can still maintain damage output through their aoe spells and shield bash. This class has a lower damage output than other classes but is hard to kill. A must have for boss fights.
