Overview

Archetypeicon defender.png

The Defender is a support specialist. This archetype is effective with ranged attacks, though not quite on par with the Blaster. Instead, the Defender's true worth shines in the area of their powerful buffing and debuffing powers. Defenders are the premier helpers in the game—they are the best at strengthening their teammates' abilities (buffing) and weakening foes (debuffing). They aren't built for lengthy hand to hand combat, though they aren't fragile, either. The Defender needs to keep an eye both on his teammates and the enemy—in order to see which requires his attention.

The Defender's powersets are:

Primary: Buff/Debuff
Secondary: Ranged

The Defender has low hit points and low damage.
