Gear

Mine. Forge. Wear the set.

Every fighter class has three gear sets, and each pushes it a different way. The same Squire can guard the back line, carry the damage or charge in first.

  1. 01

    Mine

    Your two Miners dig crystals. Each turn a Miner doesn't swing, it stores +1 crystal for its next swing, up to 3.

  2. 02

    Forge

    A piece costs 5 crystals, and you start with 5. Forging doesn't use an action.

  3. 03

    Wear the set

    Two pieces of one set unlock its first bonus. Four unlock its second.

In the forge, the Squire's fourth Vanguard piece turns on Lance Charge. Then the Squire charges three tiles and slams the Data Shaman.Squire · Vanguard
Recorded in the game.

One Squire. Three jobs.

Sentry

  • Sentry Lance, weapon
  • Sentry Helm, head
  • Sentry Plate, body
  • Sentry Greaves, feet
2 piecesWatchful

4 piecesIntercept
Once per round, when an enemy hits an ally within 2 tiles, the Sentry takes the hit instead, with its own defense.

Berserker

Damage carry

  • Berserker Lance, weapon
  • Berserker Helm, head
  • Berserker Plate, body
  • Berserker Greaves, feet
2 piecesBloodrage
+25% Spear damage while below half health. Rage from hits is doubled.
4 piecesRampage
Spear heals the Berserker for 30% of the damage it deals, and also hits one enemy next to the target for half damage.

Vanguard

Engage and lockdown

  • Vanguard Lance, weapon
  • Vanguard Helm, head
  • Vanguard Plate, body
  • Vanguard Greaves, feet
2 piecesMomentum
Spear deals +20 damage for each tile the Squire walked this turn before attacking, up to +60.
4 piecesLance Charge
Shield Slam becomes a charge: dash up to 3 tiles in a straight line to an enemy, then slam it. Can't charge while Pinned, and a Squire's Bulwark can only be slammed from next to it.
