About

Gravity's introduction, from the official game guide. Game guide Introduced in [Character] Introducing the Royal Guard (2024-12-03).

The Royal Guard focuses more on sturdy defense, featuring many skills that accumulate damage taken from enemy attacks and then release it, as well as skills that utilize spears and shields. Additionally, when a large number of Royal Guards form a party, they receive bonuses to attack power and defense depending on the number of Royal Guards present, allowing them to take on a more efficient position in cooperation with other nearby players, functioning as a defensive tower in battle. The Royal Guard skill "Inspiration" (Divine Spirit Response) is a skill that temporarily bestows the power of the divine upon oneself, granting bonuses to all stats, attack power, and HP, giving it a feel similar to the Lord Knight's "Frenzy." However, since bringing a divine spirit down into one's body is something difficult for a human body to bear, one must also endure the accompanying side effects and risks.

Korean original

로얄가드는 보다 더 강인한 방어력를 위주로, 적의 공격을 맞음으로서 데미지를 축적했다가 방출하는 기술 및 창과 방패를 이용한 스킬을 많이 편성했습니다. 또한 많은 수의 로얄가드가 파티를 맺으면 로얄가드의 숫자에 따라서 공격력과 방어력에 보너스를 받는 등, 주변의 다른 플레이어와의 연계에 있어서도 보다 효율적인 위치를 가지고 전투에서 방어탑의 역할을 하도록 했습니다. 로얄가드 스킬 "인스피레이션" (성령 감응) 은, 일시적으로 신의 힘을 자신에게 부여하여 모든 스탯과 공격력, 그리고 HP에 보너스를 받는 스킬로서, 로드 나이트의 "버서크"와 유사한 느낌을 가지고 있습니다. 그러나 성령을 몸에 강림시키는 것은 인간의 육체로서는 감당하기 힘든 일이므로, 그에 따른 부작용이나 리스크를 감당하지 않으면 안됩니다.
