Also known as Dragon Knights, Dragoons trace their lineage back to an ancient order of dragon-riders renowned for their skill in aerial combat. Originally, Dragoons rode Wind Drakes into combat, making them devastating dive bombers. Modern Dragoons have learned to channel the spirits of the dragons of old in order to recreate these devastating techniques. They are known for blasting off into the air, ignoring all terrain, and landing with devastating effect upon their enemies. Dragoons can also channel the ferocity and hunger of dragons to heal themselves from the blood of their enemies. They are also known secondarily for their ability to harness the breath weapons of these dragon spirits and blast their enemies. Typically wearing heavy armor and carrying a polearm, these aerial acrobats are feared across all battlefields as they can bring devastation in their bouncing wake.
Abilities
Aerial
The Dragoon dominates the skies with high-flying abilities and acrobatics despite heavy armament. During Aerial:
- Only Aerial Arts abilities and basic attacks may be used.
- The Dragoon is one square off the ground above and adjacent their foe, attacking downwards. Weapons without Reach or Piercethrough may still attack adjacent squares. Weapons with Reach or Piercethrough may optionally target only the adjacent square, or may reach to their usual Range.
- Aerial Arts abilities have different effects when used while Aerial.
- The Dragoon may not move between actions while Aerial, unless an ability specifically allows them to do so.
- The Dragoon cannot hit targets that are Knocked Down or Mini'd while Aerial. Some other targets may be too low to the ground for the Dragoon to hit.
The Dragoon can land as a Simple Action, or by using an ability that allows them to land. Otherwise, they automatically land at the end of their turn.
A Dragoon cannot go Aerial if they are Immobilized or Grounded.
