Officially described combat role
| Function | Reveal description | Practical interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Shield pressure | Smashes through shields | A natural candidate for Block-bar pressure |
| Armor pressure | Shatters armor | Use live icons and enemy state to confirm the applicable action |
| Control | Knocks enemies away | Creates space, but no universal knockback distance is claimed |
| Support | Keeps allies alive with powerful healing | Supports co-op and army survival without proving an exact heal value |
