Crusader — Grand Cross (GC)

The classic VIT tank / Grand Cross Crusader. Grand Cross deals Holy AoE that scales with both ATK and MATK, so you invest in STR, INT, and VIT together. It ignores hard DEF and the weapon-size penalty, but recoils onto you — bring Holy resist and watch the recoil readout.
