The Lightbinder is a powerful support class, they are- surrounded by a unique aura which boosts their own powers and those of their allies; increasing the party’s maximum health. Lightbinders can even transfer part of their own stats to their allies, boosting their Strength, Spirit, Luck and Valor. However, to do so requires their full concentration, so make sure the enemies are distracted during this time.

If the group has a melee fighter, the Lightbinder can surround them with a shield protecting them against powerful attacks. Other shields enable the Lightbinder to absorb damage and provide temporary immunity to control effects. Shields are extremely useful. However, the best defense is always a good offense, and the Lightbinder can certainly hold their own against an enemy!

During an attack, the Power of Light can inflict significant damage to enemies. For their finishing strike, the Lightbinder calls down a Merciful Blow from the heavens, causing the enemy to evaporate in a powerful burst of light.
