Force Shielder ~ The faithful warrior that uses the force to shield others

The invention of “Crystal” has created another possibility in force control. Force Shielders noticed that Force Archer’s Astral Bow can efficiently support long-range force control. They studied how to precisely condense force around Crystals so that force is not dispersed when used to attack enemies. As a result, Astral Shield was created.

The creation of Astral Shield opened a new chapter in the history of Nevarethian armors. Astral Shield has exceptionally high defense strength and it can be used for offensive purposes as well. Warriors and Bladers, who desperately needed a better way to fight and defend, became Force Shielders. They wanted higher defense while establishing their own unique battle style. Thus they started using the heaviest armor such as Warrior’s Armor Suit with Astral Shield at the same time.

Force Shielders specialize in short-range force control, which means that they are incapable of doing long-range attacks. However, they make up for the weakness by developing support magic spells that increase their attack strength by manipulating outer forces near their bodies, whose methods are similar as the Wizard’s strongest asset.

This revolutionary invention has become a turning point in the Nevarethian battle style. Force Shielders must invest a lot of their effort in physical strength in order to be equipped with Armor Suit, the strongest yet heaviest armor, as well as understanding of force in order to skillfully control force. Also, they need to consider agility for decent hit rate since they can only use one-handed sword. Well-experienced Force Shielders know various ways of manipulating Astral Shields, and can perfect their defense if they master in short-range force control.

Now when you make a Force Shielder, you have to decide, later on, if you want to be a Magic Force Shielder, Sword Force Shielder, or Hybrid Force Shielder.


Here are the good and bad, downs and ups, pros and cons, of each type of Force Shielder:


Magic Force Shielder

Good

· You’ll be really good in PVP because of your strong cannons AND you have the defense of a Warrior since you wear the same Armor as them.

· In my opinion, Magic Force Shielder levels you up and helps you gain Skill Experience faster at low levels because they do good damage.

· Nice DPS (Damage Per Second)



Bad

· You’ll be spamming cannons the rest of your CABAL life, and not showing any rapid and cool-looking Sword skills.

Sword Force Shielder



Good

· You’ll be an important player in your party because of your defense and AoE skills to take on those mobs.

· You have a LOT of cool-looking skills (Storm Cut, Shield Break, the list goes on…..)

· You can solo almost anything from quests to dungeons



Bad

· You won’t do as good in PVP as a Magic Force Shielder because Magic Force Shielders have higher DPS and can pack a whallop from a distance like Force Archers.
