Second tier

Swamp Guardian

Attack

Promotion: Harpe Art Lv. 3, then 3,000 credits

Among the Swamp Rangers, those assigned to the regiment guarding the holiest of swamps, near the Father Tree, are called the Swamp Guardians. This swamp, with its most intricate and grueling terrain, is a place where ordinary Swamp Rangers could not endure. It is also fraught with numerous monstrous beasts seeking the sacred Father Tree, which is why only the most exceptional Rangers are assigned to protect it.

Swamp Tyrant

Attack

Promotion: Assault Lv. 3, then 7,000 credits

The Swamp Tyrants are warlords who have the authority to collect resources from their territory, using them for military purposes, and conscript swamp elves to form regiments. This position was established to manage the extensive swamp elf territories and is granted to Swamp Ranger generals who have proven themselves through merit. Although they are entrusted with full authority, they are also bound by the duty to protect the swamps they oversee, no matter the situation. Often, due to the harsh use of local resources for military needs, they came to be known as "Tyrants" by the Empire.

Kalina Signature: Persistence

At the start of battle, gains 30 AP and increases Melee ATK by 20%. Hunter on the Vine now increases Melee ATK and Crit DMG based on movement distance and AP spent. The increase in Crit DMG matches the percentage of Melee ATK gained through this skill. (1 AP is treated as 0.1m of linear distance.) Once per round, using Blades of Tyranny restores 55 AP and resets its cooldown.

A modernized version of a weapon used by a legendary figure from the Bluemarsh Swamp Patrol. It features customizations for each distinguished swamp patrol officer. The handle, made from a special resonant metal, effectively transmits air vibrations to the wearer, allowing them to anticipate attacks in advance. The magically forged blade accumulates kinetic energy over a short period to enhance damage.

Starting weapon: Swamp Elf Harpe.
