## Description

Highlanders are an offensive class of close-quarters combatants; Highlanders are powerful warriors that deal lots of damage with their Claymore and flail, with their Attack stat being high. The other stats of the Highlander class are all average at best, so they may need a support class to help them with these shortcomings.
