Guardian

The Guardian embodies Nightreign’s tank class, thriving with a large shield and a weapon that supports guarding, such as a Halberd, Rapier, or Hand Crossbow.

Ironeye

Ironeye shines as the bow specialist, with high Dexterity allowing proficiency in daggers and curved swords. However, his frailty makes him unsuitable for frontline combat.
