Heroes / Squire
Humble at first, but at level 3 it gives the hero in front of it more armor every round, with no cap.

Abilities
Strike
Main attack, melee. Deals its power as physical damage to the front enemy.
Also on: Berserker, Cutpurse, Grove Warden, Guildmaster, Martyr, Paladin, Peddler, Sellsword, Shieldbearer, Skullsplitter, Thornweaver, Warchief, Wildheart
Brace
End of each round. Regains 1 armor per level (1, 2, 3), up to its starting armor or its Brace amount, whichever is higher. A hero with no armor still braces.
Also on: Crusader, Grove Warden, Sellsword, Shieldbearer
Armorer
End of each round. The friend directly in front of it gains armor equal to its power (at least 1). If nothing is in front, it gains the armor itself. Stacks every round with no limit.
How to use Squire
Best position: middle.
It starts as a modest attacker with Brace, which restores its own armor each round.
Armorer at level 3 gives the ally directly in front armor equal to Squire's power, every round. Place it right behind your main front-liner.
If nothing is in front of it, it gives the armor to itself, so it can also lead the lineup.
Good teammates
-
Crusader
Every point of armor is also a point of Shield Bash damage.
-
Shieldbearer
More armor keeps Riposte active and the front line standing.
Tier by stage of the run
Early B · Middle A · Late A. Dependable front-liner at every stage; never flashy.
