Spartan

Knight · 10 Kugan skills · 1 active, 9 passive

Spartans are knights who learned to make the spear into a law of distance.

They do not simply charge. They hold a line, measure the enemy's approach, and answer every step with steel placed exactly where it must be. Their discipline is austere: one hand steady, shield close, spear ready to pierce, brandish, throw or punish those who think range makes them safe.

The Spartan path rewards controlled aggression. Pierce and Spiral Pierce give focused killing power, Brandish Spear expands pressure into the crowd, and Spear Boomerang reaches enemies who try to escape the formation. Their counter stance is especially dangerous against ranged attackers, turning incoming fire into retaliation that grows more violent as the Spartan is wounded.

They are not the fastest knights, nor the flashiest. They are the ones who remain where the battle needs a wall with a blade at the end of it.

To face a Spartan is not merely to cross weapons.

It is to cross a line that was drawn before you arrived.

Tank★★★★☆HP scaling, long-range resistance, on-hit HP recovery and spear control make the specialization sturdy.
Tactical★★★★☆Range management, Brandish area growth, initiative damage and ranged counterplay reward positioning.
Healer★★☆☆☆Spartan Vigor provides small self-recovery on hit, but there is no true healing role.
Buffer★★★☆☆One Hand Quicken, Aura Blade and spear mastery effects provide strong self-oriented combat buffs.
Debuffer★★☆☆☆Brandish can pressure or taunt targets, but debuffing is not the main identity.
DPS Melee Physical★★★★☆Pierce, Brandish, Spiral Pierce and Aura Blade give a strong spear-focused melee package.
DPS Ranged Physical★★★☆☆Spear Boomerang and ranged counter tools give meaningful reach without becoming a pure ranged style.
DPS Magical☆☆☆☆☆No magical damage path is present.
Special★★★★☆Anti-ranged counter stance and initiative-based spear pressure give Spartan a distinct battlefield role.
Resources★★★☆☆Vigor and some SP cost improvements help, though spear skills remain active-resource dependent.
Mobility★★☆☆☆The kit controls distance more than it moves quickly through it.

Passive part: each time the user receives damage he gets a Defense stack, and each time he deals damage an Offense stack (at most once per second for each type, up to 10 stacks of each).

The stacks last 7 seconds and are lost if unused; getting any stack refreshes the duration of both types.

When the user casts this skill, all his stacks are consumed and his next attack deals more damage for each stack consumed.

LevelDamage per stackMaximum (20 stacks)

5+10%+200%
  • Without any stack the skill fails and the LP are refunded.
  • The bonus is lost if no attack lands within 10 seconds. It applies to every kind of attack (physical, magical and special).
