Today ATLUS have revealed the new class that is playable in Etrian Odyssey Untold. The Highlander class is a “mercenary with a strong code of honor” and the main weapon of choice seems to be a spear. The main use for the Highlander seems to be a high DPS class to deal a lot of damage.
The demo of Etrian Odyssey Untold is ready to be downloaded from the Nintendo eShop.
The Highlander
The uninformed might consider them mercenaries, since they are warriors available for hire, but a Highlander is more than that. Highlanders hew to a particular code, and won’t blindly follow the orders of their paymasters if the situation calls for another approach. The particular Highlander in question was sent to Etria to look into a series of mysterious earthquakes, and it was in that investigation where he met Frederica.
The Highlander code emphasizes selflessness, and many of the Highlander’s spear skills reflect that virtue. They generally sacrifice his own health to achieve their effects, though he can also recover some with every kill he scores in an efficient cycle of give-and-take.
