''' Tank Class: Exalt '''

Subclass: Fighter

Weapon Name: Brunlaive



Description: Exalt is a royal knight of the order, who fights to protect the rightful kingdom for which he reigns. He has a unique way of handling his blade and relies on brute force to beat down enemies and can equip powerful armor to defend against powerful enemies. Despite his strength, he can be rather easy to knock down, making him vulnerable to stuns and staggers that can shatter his armor.



Posture: When spawning, Exalt will have his great sword resting on his back, pulling it over his shoulder with his left hand upon equipping it. While idle, Exalt will hold his great sword semi horizontally in front of him with two hands, left hand on the handle and right hand on the blade. While moving, Exalt will transfer his blade to just his right hand on the blade and hold it towards his side.



Standard Attack Combo: Exalt has unique way of holding his blade when he attacks, as he often holds on to the blade of his weapon and strikes with the edge of the blade that’s close to the handle and the cross guard of the sword for some grappling capabilities. Exalt will begin his combo by swinging his sword while holding on the bladed side diagonally to the lower right, then grab the handle with his left hand and slash the blade horizontally to the right. Then Exalt will raise the great sword over his head while holding the blade of the sword, and then swing it downwards, jabbing enemies with the great swords cross guard. Finally, Exalt will turn the blade around, holding the handle with his left hand and the blade with his right hand and jab the blade sword, following by thrusting the sword as his right hand slides down the blade, adding an extra hit in the last attack.



[PASSIVE] Reinforced blows -Each time Exalt parries an enemy’s attack, their stun bar will increase by 15. Additionally blocking any of Exalt’s attacks will not half the stun inflicted on them. However h



[E] Armor of Aegis - Exalt will stab his sword into the ground and hold both arms out, summoning parts of the legendary Armor of Aegis which will appear  out of the air and fly and latch onto Exalt, providing him with powerful defense before picking up his sword and resuming combat. While in this mode, Exalt will have defense ranging from 1.5 - 2.5, defense gauged based on how much mana he has, his speed reduced to amounts ranging from 0.8 - 0.3, again, based on how much mana he has. While in this mode, his stun dealt by standard attack combos is doubled but his health and mana regeneration is halted. Exalt requires at least 20 mana to use Armor of Aegis and will consumes 10 mana in order to use it. Exalt can exit out of this mode by pressing the [E] key again and by doing so will cause his armor to fall off and fade away. If Exalt is stunned or staggered with Armor of Aegis, his armor will shatter, dealing moderate damage to enemies around him and forcing him out of Armor of Aegis.



[Z] Disarming Strike - Exalt will grab his sword by the blade with his right hand and do an uppercut slash with the cross guard, dealing moderate damage and light stun, and then proceed to grab the blade with his other hand as well and then stab the blade downwards on his victim, dealing great damage and stun. If the enemy hit by the first strike is currently blocking, the strike will cancel out the shield and drain the enemy’s shield bar, leaving the enemy staggered while Exalt suffers no repercussions. (Consumes 20 mana, 14 second cooldown)



<p class="MsoNormal">[X] Clout - Exalt will pull back his sword and hold it horizontally as he does when he’s idle and when thrusts it forward, dealing great damage to enemies hit and decreasing their speed by 0.1 for a while. If Exalt parries the enemy when inflicting damage, the parry will turn into a stagger. (Consume 20 mana, 14 second cooldown)

<p class="MsoNormal">[C] Steel Grind - This is a Toggle-able ability that allows Exalt to sharpen his sword on the ground. Upon using, Exalt will hold his sword by the handle and let the blade drag behind him, creating sparks as he walks. While he walks, his blade will sharpen, giving him stacks that increase his attack by 0.1 as he walks, capping at +1.0 attack, upon using any other skill, striking the enemy, or pressing the [C] key again, Exalt will exit out of Steel Grind and put his sharp great sword to use. As he strikes, each time he inflicts damage, two stack will be removed that causes Exalt to lose 0.2 attack with. If Exalt is stunned or staggered, he will lose all those stacks. Mana will only be consumed once you exit out of Steel Grind. (Consumes 30 mana, 21 second cooldown)

<p class="MsoNormal">[V] Prime Caliber -  Exalt summons the Armor of Aegis onto him, and begins to do a powerful dash forward a moderate distance before executing a powerful strike with his blade, dealing moderate damage and decent stun. If Exalt successfully lands the first strike, he will proceed to repeat the process again, dealing more damage and stun than the previous strike. Exalt will continue this process until he misses or successfully executes 8 strikes. (Consumes 50 mana, 43 second cooldown) <ac_metadata title="Class Suggestion: Exalt"> </ac_metadata>
