I would love to see an Evolved Main Tank Job built around the fantasy of a true king on the battlefield.
Not a holy knight.
Not a berserker.
Not a dark anti-hero.
Not a gunblade duelist.
A king who fights on the front line.
Job Name: Sovereign
Role: Main Tank
Weapon: Royal Lance and War Banner
The Sovereign is a tank who controls the flow of battle through authority, positioning, and judgment.
He does not simply protect the party by standing in front of them.
He plants his banner, claims the battlefield as his domain, and forces the enemy to fight under his rule.
His fantasy is simple:
The battlefield becomes his throne.
Core Gameplay Ideas
The job is built around three main concepts:
Dominion
Sovereignty Gauge
Judgment
Dominion
The Sovereign plants his War Banner into the ground and creates a Dominion around it.
While fighting inside Dominion:
His defensive tools become stronger.
His counterattacks become stronger.
His Sovereignty Gauge fills faster.
Some lance attacks become enhanced.
The banner is not just a support tool.
It is the king’s claim over the battlefield.
Sovereignty Gauge
Sovereignty is built by enduring pressure and responding correctly.
The gauge increases when the Sovereign:
Mitigates tankbusters.
Counters enemy attacks.
Holds his ground during dangerous mechanics.
Fights inside Dominion while under pressure.
The more pressure the enemy applies, the more authority the Sovereign gains.
Judgment
When the Sovereignty Gauge is full, the Sovereign can issue a royal Judgment.
Instead of being only another burst button, Judgment lets the player choose how to shape the next moment of battle.
Decree of War
A damage-focused decree.
Decree of Iron
A defensive decree.
Decree of Glory
A party-support decree.
This gives the job a simple but meaningful decision:
How should I rule this moment?
Example Abilities
Royal Descent
Leap to the target and plant the War Banner, establishing Dominion.
King’s Will
A defensive skill that becomes stronger inside Dominion.
Royal Verdict
A precise lance thrust empowered by royal authority.
Banner Recall
Call the banner back, damaging enemies caught in its path and repositioning your Dominion tool.
Crownbreaker
A powerful strike that spends Sovereignty for high damage.
Throne of Heaven
The Sovereign’s major burst window.
For a short duration:
Dominion expands.
Sovereignty generation increases.
Royal Verdict becomes enhanced.
Crownbreaker becomes stronger.
The Sovereign’s authority reaches its peak.
The fantasy should not be:
“I protect my allies.”
It should be:
“You stand beneath my banner, on my land, and your fate is mine to decide.”
That is the kind of Evolved Tank Job I would love to see.
A tank built around royal authority, battlefield control, judgment, and dominance.
