The General is a master tactician, a battlefield architect who leads their allies to victory through keen intellect and precise orders. Unlike other fighters who focus solely on personal prowess, be it through stealing secrets of wizards, lending powers of giants, or simply elevating their physical powers, the General sees the battlefield as a living entity, and it is one they control through strategy and teamwork.

Generals are not just soldiers, they are legends in the making. Their names are etched into the pages of history alongside their deeds.Their ability to read a battlefield and adapt in real-time is unmatched, making them indispensable in any conflict, from small skirmishes to all-out wars. After all, who would not wish for a directive to be sound and clear, instead of needing to think yourself?

Every ally becomes a sharpened weapon in their arsenal, every foe a piece on their board to be outmaneuvered. When a General steps onto the battlefield, they don’t just fight, they're playing an elaborate game of chess with their opponent. However, their pieces are always better.
