Status Check! The Princess-Job Group Gets Their Second-Tier Trees

The 【Shield Princess】 unlocks two aggro-generating Skills in her second-tier tree.

They are 'Guard Stance' and 'Shield Smite.'

Unlike 'Taunt,' 'Guard Stance' draws aggro indiscriminately, so it requires caution.

Until now, Sierra has skillfully used 'Taunt' to draw the aggro of three out of four monsters, leaving the rest to the attackers. But 'Guard Stance' draws the aggro of every monster in combat, so she won't be able to fine-tune it like that.

Even so, it's effective against enemies at a distance that 'Taunt' can't reach, so I'll have her learn it.

We'll be facing more enemies that use bows or cast magic from a distance, too.

The other Skill, 'Shield Smite,' is a single-target attack. In other words, it can only draw aggro from one enemy.

This one's for bosses. The attack has to hit, which is a drawback, so the standard approach is to use it on an enemy you're already targeting to reduce the risk of an accident. Its range is short, too.

Of course, I'll have her learn this one as well.

After that, I'll have her learn some damage-reduction Skills and status ailment resistances, too...
