Shield

The shield is a defensive-style class that can be found next to the Arsenal in The Highlands, which can be accessed via the Sonus Cave. It's theme color is yellow, and it's appearance is simply a shield with a line crossing through it, with a square in the middle that lights up in battle. It rests on the back of your character if not in battle. The evolved version of shield has the same shield base appearance, but bigger and with stuff inside the shield and flying out. The Shield's gimmick is that whenever one touches an orb, you attack for normal damage and gain Guard in the form of a % value, which displays above your character. You gain 10% if you didn't have any Guard before and 15% if you do. This caps at 75%, except if you have the first passive ability of the class, in which the cap gets raised to 100%. It also constantly drains at a rate of 1% every 2 seconds. The Guard comes in play whenever you get hit, by reducing the amount of damage you take by the amount of Guard% you have on you in the moment. For example, if you took 100 damage from an attack, but you had 60% Guard, you would instead take 40 damage. After that, your Guard drops by 25%. The Shield has 2 passives at the moment: The Shield also has 1 evolution at the moment:
