Guardian Basics

1. The Guardians are a support class and are most effective when used in combination with another class.
2. Guardians can create areas called Wards. Enemies cannot pass through these areas, and if you make them strategically, you can give yourself a huge advantage.
3. Guardians can summon Spirit weapons to fight for them. They can also lay Symbols on the ground. This is their way of influencing their surroundings with an effect.
4. Guardians also have Virtues, which power them up and increase their abilities.
5. The Guardian’s support abilities depend on the specific weapon they equip. Although the Guardian is most effective at using skills that benefit a group, they are actually a challenging and exciting class to play. There is a lot of strategy involved, and a lot of the times these guys can turn the tide in a battle.
