Guardian Build Guide

Frontline / Tank

The party's shield. Guardian pioneered the damage-threshold blocking system (a resource bar you spend blocking hits, shown in a dedicated UI element) that Warrior and Priest were later brought in line with — plus a taunt to pull enemy aggro off squishier teammates.

Playstyle tip

Still has full access to the game's parkour and mantling — playtesters were surprised how agile the tank class feels compared to how it plays in most dungeon crawlers.

Sourced from SK Studios' own playtest patch notes and creator playtest footage. Numbers and exact skill trees aren't public yet — this will get more precise as the playtest continues.
