“Hmm…Righteous Anger…that’s not something you see every day in a Dungeon Core.  Or ever, for that matter. If you’re indeed telling the truth, you shouldn’t even be here.  The Creator only makes contracts with those that deserve to be imprisoned in a Core – like murderers and rapists.  Also, while female Dungeon Cores aren’t exactly unknown, they are few and far between.”

Specialization Benefits: Enchantment-based traps require 60% less Dungeon Force to create Enchantment-based traps require 75% less Dungeon Force to replace when used”

“Defender The Defender Specialization Class is for Raiders that prefer an unbreakable defense over offense.  Taking advantage of strong, durable armor and an increase in natural resistances makes the Defender a tough nut to crack, and the Class is perfect for those who prefer defending the members of their group rather than inflicting damage.  Physical Attack is halved, while Physical, Ranged, and Magical Defense is doubled; all Resistances are boosted by a small amount, though they can be increased at a much faster rate than almost any other Class.  Further advancements in this Specialization Class can add Magical effects to heighten defense, as well as focusing enemy attacks on the Defender.”
