Light Bearer



Light Bearer (등대지기, deungdaejigi; "one who protects the lighthouse" or "lighthouse keeper" or "light bearer") is a Position which uses exploring devices called Lighthouses or Light Cubes to gain information on the battle or the surroundings.

The other type of Light Bearer gathers information and formulates plans with the help of such information and they command a Lighthouse. They are also called Lighthouse keepers because they protect the Lighthouse.

However, a Light Bearer must still be able to fulfill both roles as there may be times when they are expected to assume the other role. This task is a simple one for an elite Ranker.

About
Lights are glowing devices made of Suspendium and are used for gathering information to aid the Light Bearer's teamates and the battle.

Some Lighthouses have an Observer function but as their mobility decreases, they become harder to handle.

There are two types of Light Bearers: Frontal type and Rear type.

The Front type(Light Bearers) participate in combat themselves and gather information on enemy weaknesses, using Lights. Such Light Bearers must have exceptional Shinsoo control and be able to maintain control of their Lights, even if they're being brutally attacked by the enemy or are badly injured.

They must be able to extend the reach of their Light cubes for a good distance, so their Lights can gather information about the environment and the battles which are transmitted to the Lighthouse. As there may be more than 2 to 3 battles at once, their Lights must be extended far enough to cover them so the Lighthouse Keeper can analyse the information.

Light Bearers usually pair up with Guides, and they participate in battles with Light Bearers providing information, the Guides leading the way. The battles in The Tower are fought mostly in dark places, so it is very hard to battle without Light Bearers.

For example: Lero-Ro, Prince, Rachel

The Rear type (Lighthouse Keeper) observes battles from a distance and collects data to use in future strategies. They basically control a Lighthouse which serves as a battle command centre. Using information collected by Light Cubes, they form strategies to direct and control the tide of a battle. They basically issue instructions to their team members and based on their feedback, decide on the next actions to take.

Lighthouse Keepers must be very knowledgeable, sharp, resourceful, good at analysing information and be able to come up with alternative strategies, if their team is in a tight spot or if a previous plan has failed. Combat ability of a Lighthouse Keeper can't be lacking as they must be able to defend the Lighthouse, if the enemy decides to attack it.

For example: Yeo Goseng, Koon Agero Agnis, Yu Han Sung, Lebin

Trivia

 * Light bearer is another name of Lucifer from the bible
 * The extremely powerful Lighthouse Opera created by Tu Peri Tperi is capable of creating an infinite Shinshoofield thus giving the Light Bearer an extremely high Powerboost. Currently there exist only 3 due to the high cost, resulting from the high class Suspendium needed for its production.
 * The most powerful Lighthouse known in the Tower is called the Eyes of God and in possesion of Tu Perie Tperie.
