By using Shield Bash and the Power Sword, you can damage enemies, both players and monsters.

The Bulwark class is played by those who wish to support their team or those who like a challenge. Many go at the ruthless difficulty with the Bulwark, as there is an innate handicap of not having a primary.

The Bulwark has the advantage of CC (Crowd Control), and the heavy defense means that combat will take longer but be safer. Especially for a team, Bulwark is the main line of defense and the beacon of strength.
