TIER 11

 

Champions are the cavalry of the Army of the Light. As the riders are mortals, many would think them weak, for how could they compare to the mythical creatures?

Champions are Crusaders who have managed to learn horse riding. Unlike the Crusaders, however, Champions have been blessed by the Patrons of the Light and are promoted to Paladins. Instead of taking on a role of leadership, the Champions remain as followers, utilizing their skills and magic for the benefit of the Light.

The steeds are not horses bred by the armies but rather, gifts from both Ra and Zeus. They are Sun Steeds, born out of the Sun and infused with the powers of lightning. When a Paladin opts to be a Champion, the Patrons would then empower them with his own Sun Steed.

The Sun Steeds are extremely fast on the battlefield, leaving a wake of pure, blinding light and electricity behind them. Few have ever seen them in action, and that means few have seen the Champions, which is to their advantage. A Champion attacks like a Jouster. The speed of the Sun Steed determines the power of a Champion's strike, which will then deliver a deadly shock of electricity.

Champions are protected by an aura of charged energy, produced by the intensity of their Light powers and the speed of the Sun Steeds combined. Few fall in battle.
