Defender

Defenders are tanks who use their sword and shield in a melee fight. They can withstand a lot of incoming damage and help reduce damage to their allies. While in a group, Defenders taunt enemies to make sure they’re the ones taking the most damage and attacks.

The Defender is a Champion Mastery that wields a sword and shield.
