Tips

The Guard is a solid form to use throughout your adventure if you prefer standard melee attacking. His signature Sword Slash has decent range and swing to clear multiple enemies and once and his base stats means he can take a few hits before getting into danger. His Stomp is superb for clearing out the area if you get surrounded and doubly useful for clearing Blunt Wards. Shield Bash can be useful but requires you to learn the range attack patterns of enemies when sometimes attack is the best form of defence.
