Role: Fast Physical Attacker/Critical Hitter

Princess Alena is a martial artist with incredible Agility and a high critical hit rate. She excels at dealing rapid, high-damage physical attacks, often landing critical hits that bypass enemy defense. Alena's unique ability to fight effectively unarmed means she doesn't always need the best weapons, though claws can significantly boost her damage. She has low HP and defense compared to Ragnar, but her speed allows her to often act first in battle.

Recommended Build: Focus on maximizing her Agility and Strength. Equip her with the strongest claws available, or let her fight unarmed if her bare-fisted damage surpasses available weapons. Light armor that doesn't impede her agility is preferred. Accessories that boost Agility, Strength, or critical hit rate are ideal. Her 'Focus Strength' ability (learned at higher levels) can further amplify her damage. Alena is perfect for quickly eliminating high-priority targets or dealing burst damage to bosses.

Alena's high critical hit rate makes her a bit unpredictable but often incredibly effective. She's excellent for clearing out groups of weaker enemies quickly or chipping away at boss HP. Keep an eye on her HP, as she can be squishy against powerful attacks.
