Weapon 1 · Polearm and Shield

Breaker Shield Bash

Strikes the back of the shield with a fist to deal damage to targets within a wide frontal area, immediately applying Wither. Possesses a Block property while the shield is raised.

Javelin Thrust

Hurl your spear forward, immediately applying Wither to the target. Upon impact, rapidly leap to the target and pull out the spear with a sweeping strike to deal damage.

Sacred Bulwark

Infuse the shield with sacred energy to erect a massive energy barrier, during which you cannot move or turn. This barrier completely blocks frontal attacks and prevents enemies from passing through. The skill can be cast again to thrust the shield forward, dealing damage and knocking enemies back. The energy barrier shatters after blocking attacks with impact a certain number of times.
