Classes/Defender

is one of the Classes in Disney Speedstorm. It defines the playstyle of characters that belong in this class, including their Stats Bonus, Dash Bonus, Manual Boost Bonus and a Common Skill set. 
==Stats Bonus==
There are general stats bonuses that each Racer class has an advantage in. The class has an upper hand in Acceleration and Combat which means a Racer accelerates faster than those whose Acceleration stat is lower, and also the duration of stun applied when hitting or being hit by rival Racers is longer than those whose Combat stat is lower. Crew Members have the ability to affect all stats, so it is possible to upgrade these featured statistics even further.
Each statistics gets upgraded once every 5 levels on rotation:
==Dash Bonus==
Dashing is a game mechanics available to all characters at any point during a race. Pressing a dash button a Racer can purposely bump into their rivals to disrupt them and take advantage of the situation. Each class has a different effect from such bumping, and the class's unique effect is getting Shield after hitting rivals, which protects the Defender Racer from one hit.
==Manual Boost Bonus==
Manual Boost can be enabled by pressing a boost button after the boost bar on the top of the screen has been filled with nitro fuel. There are different options for getting nitro fuel, however, the class can gain it by driving in their rivals' slipstream (right behind them) to be able to activate the Boost and overtake them.
==Skill Focus==
Since s are all about defending themselves from their opponents' attacks, the skills they are able to pick up on the road always include one that helps against being attacked: either Shield or Cloak, depending on a specific Racer. Shield can protect from 1 hit (not only rivals but also various obstacles on the road) or attack a rival if used Charged. Cloak hides a Racer visually and lets them ignore all attacks and obstacles for the duration of the effect, and Charged usage also allows to Stun rivals in a radius when the hiding effect finishes.
Other 3 skills and the Unique Skill differ from one Racer to another.
