Beginning July 14, anyone can download an Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold demo off Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS and check out the starting floor of Story Mode! Demo save data will transfer to the full game.
In Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold’s Story Mode, your tank is Bertrand, the loyal (albeit reluctant) Protector. Your party comes across Bertrand and the war magus Chloe in the early areas of the Ginnungagap Ruins and they’ll join up with Flavio, Arianna, and you!
The Protector’s skills are incredibly useful – early on they get abilities that boost a line’s defense, and skills to protect against elemental damage. They also can provoke enemies into attacking them, and even retaliate with shield attacks. And while Bertrand and Protectors are quite good at soaking up damage, they even have some abilities to heal themselves and allies as well.
Protectors do have support and a few offensive skills, but their skill set leans overwhelmingly towards defense, so they’re probably best left to the tank role.
