Brawler

- Class Difficulty: Advanced
- Role: Offence/Defence
- Gameplay: Brawlers are aggressive melee fighters who wield a unique resource called Mettle to maximize their damage and fuel their most powerful skills. Although their offensive capabilities truly shine in one-on-one combat, they are not without recourse when faced with multiple enemies. In fellowships, a Brawler's abrasive nature helps them hold the ire of their foes and keep their allies safe.
- Lore: Brawlers are formidable fighters whose bold manoeuvres can topple their foes and safeguard their allies.
- This class is inspired by Helm Hammerhand, who to the astonishment of many, would take to the battlefield barehanded
