Description:
[Shield Warriors] is a Warrior-line class that focuses on the shield. Due to their choice of weapon, they are ironically not classified as a "Path of Weapon" class, but are instead considered one from the "Path of Armor".
[Shield Warrior] is a defense master. They use their shields and defensive combat arts to protect themselves and their allies. They are also granted the [Taunting] skill that allows them to redirect aggression of hostile targets to themselves, not that this effect is foolproof against more intelligent targets, but it works most of the time.

* [Element Shield]: A skill that grants any shield the Shield Warrior has equipped an attribute-based enhancement based on what Element-type skills they possess. Only 1 attribute can be used to enhance the shield.
* [Guard]: A skill that grants access to defensive battle arts that centers around guarding attack.
* [Covering]: An active skill that allows the user to redirect attacks aimed at allies the skill user is guarding towards themselves, even if the said attack is an AoE attack. Also grants a slight defense boost.
* [Taunting]: An active-type skill that allows the user to direct the attention of hostile targets towards themselves.
* [Parry]: A skill that grants access to defensive battle arts that focus on parrying attacks.
* [Defense Reinforcement]: A passive skill that improves the damage-reducing effects of defensive skills.
* [Energy Warfare]: An active skill that enhances the Shield Warrior's stats by continuously consuming SP.
* [Shield Stance]: A battle arts-type skill that revolves around "stances". One can initiate a stance to gain various passive effects. One needs to wait a certain amount of time before switching to a new stance. This skill focuses on stances that require a shield, or just defense in general.
