A true master of arms, the Champion excels at combat, focusing on little other than destroying her foes. The Champion's whirling blades can strike fear into the heart of even the foulest orc, cutting down swaths of their numbers at once. While a Champion's training and armor grants her some survivability, it is not her focus, and a Champion can quickly find herself in trouble when facing several foes on her own.

The Champion is the class of choice for players that enjoy fast-paced combat with multiple options available at any given moment. Champions can use various weapon styles, but focus on using two weapons simultaneously. With their active play-style Champions are able to consistently cause large amounts of damage to both single and multiple opponents in combat. Their style of combat revolves around the idea that the best defense is a good offense.

Traits of the Champion

Here are some of the Class-specific Traits the Champion can obtain while adventuring in Middle-earth.

Role

The Champion is a master of offense. Champions specialize in dual-wielding or two-handed combat and emphasize on consistent dealing damage. They can also grab a shield and play off-tank, since he possesses almost as much morale as a Guardian. Some champion skills are best for one versus one fighting, others "Engage the Tide" ("area of effect" skills). His fervor can increase the damage he does, but leaves him open for any attacks. In the end, a Champion's best defense, is a strong offence.

Armor

Champions can use light, medium, and heavy armor and also use light shields

Weapons

Champions can use most 1 handed weapons with dual weilding, and also use two handed weapons and bows
