Role in the party
Roderic is the starter Tank for new players: hold enemies with Taunt (5 s), control with Shield Quake (1.5 s stun) and raise the holy ring of Holy Sword Smite (30% less damage taken for 5 s). His passive shield absorbs 220 damage when his HP runs low, helping him survive Tank busters.
Tips
- Use Taunt as soon as the boss switches targets — enemies around Roderic must hit him for 5 s.
- Drop Holy Sword Smite before a Stack: 2 s stun and a holy ring with 30% damage reduction.
- Shield Charge (dash) has a 3 s cooldown — use it to dodge a Charge line, then come back to hold the boss.
- Rage ultimate Holy Guardian Descent: 8 s of 70% damage reduction, allies in range take 40% less — save it for the boss's final phase.
