Role: Tank/Physical Attacker

Ragnar is a stalwart knight and a pure physical powerhouse. He boasts the highest HP and Strength growth among all the Chosen, making him an excellent tank and damage dealer. However, he has no magical abilities, relying solely on his brute force. His defense is also exceptionally high, allowing him to absorb significant damage. Ragnar is best suited for the front lines, drawing enemy attacks and dishing out heavy physical blows.

In battle, Ragnar's role is straightforward: attack the strongest enemy. He can also use 'Defend' to further reduce incoming damage if needed. While he lacks versatility, his raw power and durability are unmatched, making him a reliable damage dealer and protector for the squishier party members.
