The newest entry of the class guide is here and we'll talking about the Bishop, Wyvia's holy class. Bishops are an advanced class focused on defensive ranged magic capable of using ranged weapons such as Cannons, Paintbrushes, Magic Staffs, and light armor along with Laterns that provide magic defense.
THE Bishop
The Bishop is the holy class capable of smiting enemies with holy retribution but primarily defensively focused. The Bishop's defensive skills include Heal which will restore your health, Ward which provides magical protection from spells, and in times of great peril Rays which scorches the earth around them doing massive damage to a wide area. Being an advanced class of the Wizard means that many of those skills complement the Bishop and takes full advantage of the Surge orbs to make them explode when they collide with one another dishing out a portion of your magical energy as damage. This can be a dangerous combination to your foes particularly with Rays as you envelope the enemy in magical power.
SKILLS
Heal
Heal is an excellent support skill particularly if you combine it with another class that places you in perilous situations often. Bishops are capable of healing a portion of their health with each cast making them incredibly difficult to dislodge especially when using Ward. However it's important to keep an eye on your mana as it can drain rather quickly. The health recovered is based on your maximum mana rather than your current mana.
Ward
Bishops are known be paragons of holy energy, whereas the Knight uses that to infuse their offensive power Bishops take the opposite tack and use it bolster their defenses particularly against magical enemies. If you find yourself encounter a large amount of mages or magical monsters the Bishop's Ward will let you weather the storm unaffected. You are effectively invulnerable to magical attacks until the bubble pops and it uses your maximum mana to form it's protective barrier. When upgraded having ward active can act as a focal point for your damage increasing it or a chance of unleashing a destructive wave of energy when magic strikes its surface.
Rays
The most destructive skill in a Bishop's catalogue is Rays. Able to call down holy bolts of energy from the sky above this magical attack envelopes the battlefield in a swath of holy energy. Perfect for clearing out large groups of enemies, when upgraded Rays has a small chance to cause any bolt that strikes enemies to explode in an explosion of magical energy. This can be a double whammy when paired with Surge hitting enemies in land and air.
