Grand

Grand is a fighter with two stances: his sheathed stance is quick, and provides Grand with his much needed abilities, but his combo attacks are poor in range and damage. His unsheathed stance allows Grand to deal an incredible amount of damage with his greatsword, but is overall slow, and predictable. Regardless, Grand can turn his strengths and weaknesses around thanks to how versatile he is in fights, being able to fight with either his fists or greatsword.
== Moveset ==
=== [Passive 1] - Conquest ===
Whenever Grand kills an enemy, he gains 25% of stamina, depletes 40% of stun and purge any debuffs.
=== [Passive 2] - Resistance ===
If Grand has less than 100 stun, then they will ignore stagger.
=== [E] - Stance Change ===
Grand will switch between unsheathed and sheathed stances. The stance will automatically change if Grand uses a move that requires him to be either in unsheathed or sheathed stance.
=== [Z] - Earth Breaker ===
Grand charges the Auswirkung and slams it to the ground, causing an area-of-effect damage. The longer it charges, the more damage it deals. Auswirkung can be charged 3 times maximum. Damage scales when more opponents are within the radius of the attack. Requires Grand to be unsheathed.
=== [X] - Chase ===
Grand quickly charges at an opponent. Will lock-on to whoever Grand hits last. Requires Grand to be sheathed.
==== [X] (Up-close) - Drop ====
Grand will punch an opponent. This can stun an opponent if they are at 50% stun. Requires Grand to be sheathed.
=== [C] Siege Guard ===
Grand will guard with the Auswirkung. If an enemy opponent attacks while Grand is guarding, they will be staggered, and Grand will have a 20% damage buff. If Grand does not block the attack, or cancels the guard, then Grand will have a 20% damage debuff.
=== [V] - Epicenter ===
Grand will grab an opponent, then smash them into the ground 3 times. Each time deals a 10% movement debuff. Then, Grand will throw the opponent away, then slam the ground, which unleashes a long-ranged shockwave that goes forwards. During the duration of the grab, Grand will have 1000 defense.

== Trivia ==
* In unsheathed, Grand has the highest natural damage of all classes in his unsheathed stance, which is 140% damage, and is tied with Obsidian for the lowest natural walkspeed at 60%.
* Grand has the highest stun threshold of all classes at 150.
* Grand's weapon, Auswirkung, is "Impact" in German.
* Grand is the only class to bear the Tank subrole.
* Chase and Drop are the only two moves that swap out depending on distance, as opposed to changing upon swapping stances or modes.
* Grand is the only class to have 2 passives, and is the only class to have more than one passive.
** Some classes like Nether, Major and Spectre has two distinctive effects from their passive, with Proto having a total of three distinctive effects, but they still fall under one passive.
* This class may have inspired Revenant from Black Magic 2, both share various similarities:
** Both are agile martial artists that can use a greatsword, and has similar movesets, with Revenant's SP2 being similar to Grand's first half of Epicenter, and Revenant's SP4 being similar to Grand's Earth Breaker.
* Grand was revealed to be playable in Shards of Genesis. After it was revealed, nothing more was shown of it, hence making the class's appearance in the game a scrapped idea.
** A more sensical choice would be Revenant from Black Magic 2, as stated before, has a similar moveset to Grand, and is from Black Magic 2, which is what Shards of Genesis spun off of.
** This would've made Grand the first class to appear in a game outside of Strife! Revised.
