Back to Classes

The Bastion skill tree is centered around defense, resilience, and protecting allies. Characters specializing in this tree focus on increasing their durability, improving their ability to withstand damage, and supporting the battlefield through powerful defensive abilities. This tree enhances the character’s capacity to act as a shield for others, with skills that bolster armor, shield effectiveness, and defensive positioning.

Abilities

Embrace

With Embrace, the Bastion assumes an unbreakable defensive stance, fortifying their armor and significantly boosting their resistance to knockback. In this state, they become an immovable force on the battlefield, holding the line against relentless assaults. Enemies will struggle to push them back as they stand firm while shielding their allies and absorbing incoming damage with unwavering resilience.
