Meet the Heroes

A hot-headed striker built for pure offense. Specializing in high-risk, high-reward skills, Redian trades safety for devastating Critical Hits, or can be tuned into a more balanced frontline fighter.

A glass-cannon martial artist channeling classic Monk stances. Cecilia seamlessly weaves heavy-hitting melee attacks with party support: devastating in skilled hands, but highly fragile.
