Classes and skills

5

Imperial Shieldbearer Mercenary starts in the Legion Shieldbearer class and promotes through 2 more tiers. Each promotion keeps the skills already learned and adds the new class's.

First tier

Legion Shieldbearer

Defense

Some consider the Legion's shieldbearers an outdated force. Nations that abandoned conscription early and adopted volunteer armies, as well as massive kingdoms that put their faith in cavalry, often undervalue the shieldbearers who, by setting up their defensive formations and raising their shields, lower their mobility. However, these shieldbearers, dismissed as obsolete, proved their worth in battles against abominations.

Second tier

Empire Shieldbearer

Defense

Promotion: Gap Stab Lv. 3, then 3,000 credits

The shieldbearers bearing the name of the Empire are not novice soldiers conscrpited to fight, but those who have sworn to become the shield of the nation themselves. They are those who have pledged to renounce all personal desires and dedicate themselves until their retirement, and the Empire provided them with knowledge to enhance their bodies using the power of arcane. This tradition later spread throughout the universe alongside shield techniques, and as a result, the term 'Imperial Shieldbearer' became established as a proper noun.

    Numbers in level order, 1 to 10.

Third tier

Imperial Guard

Defense

Promotion: Wall of Shields Lv. 3, then 7,000 credits

The Imperial Vanguard represents the pinnacle of all legionnaires. In its prime, the Empire's Vanguard consisted solely of three centuriae, tasked with protecting only the Emperor, the Tribunes, and the Speaker of the Senate. Traditionally, the Emperor's heir led this Vanguard. During the fall of the Empire, most of the Imperial Vanguard perished protecting those they were sworn to guard, and now only a few remain, including Crown Princess Maximilia, who chose to protect the people instead of dignitaries.
