{{Quotation|Berlin Fan Festival Keynote|Located in the vast expanse of the Northern Empty, Aerslaent has long been protected by indomitable bastions, heritors of the ancient martial techniques developed over generations by the archipelago's rulers.

It is said that no raider's axe can penetrate a bastion's hulking skyltborg—and one would be foolish to try, for these shape-changing greatshields' aetherial artillery has brought a swift end to many a marauder, be it from near or far.

Of course, the skyltborg also offer protection for its wielder and their allies in the form of defensive and curative boons.}}

== Job mechanics ==
The bastion can designate an ally to receive healing and defensive effects when they trigger their actions. These effects can be triggered immediately or shifted in timing based on the encounter.<ref>https://www.famitsu.com/article/202607/82479</ref>

Similar to [[paladin]], the bastion has both a melee phase and a ranged phase in its rotation.
