Berserker	Guardian, Destroyer	+ Features high HP and defense, excelling as a tank when promoted to Guardian. – Lacks damage output; relies heavily on the support of Sprites and teammates.
Warlord	Guardian, Destroyer	+ Offers high HP and attack power, making it effective as a fighter, particularly as a Destroyer. – Defensively weak and overall damage is limited, similar to Berserker.
