Defender

Defender Companions are equipped to protect you in battle, using various taunt/damage methods causing your target to focus on them instead of you. These companions are often referred to as Tank Companions and are ideal for classes that are not designed to take heavy loads of damage. Defender Companions come ready with Equipment slots and Runestone slots to allow customization of the companion into the player's perfect Tank.

All Companion Rank Stats are before any Runestone or Equipment are applied.
