You are the last line of defense.

When all else fails, you are the only thing standing between the enemy and your Nexus.

You gain more health as your Nexus health decreases, and activate Guardian's Warp to be instantly teleported near to your Nexus.

Use your Alert Item to detect enemies.


Class Information

The Defender's hearts work as this table shows

Purchase for 15,000 XP

The Defender comes with a set of wooden tools, a chain chestplate, a lime dye named "Guardian's Warp", and a prismarine shard named "Alert Item".

  • While near the attack/defense area of the nexus, the Defender gains Regeneration I.
    • A 50 block radius from the Defender's nexus.
  • 10% of the player's missing nexus health will be applied to the Defender (see image on right).
    • Applies near the friendly nexus (not enemy's).

Right-click the Guardian's Warp to be teleported near the nexus.

  • Has a 20 second cooldown.

Right-click to place the Alert Item.

  • Places at the player's feet.
  • Alerts nearby teammates with a noise if picked up by an enemy.
  • Cannot be picked up if the enemy is holding an item in their hand.

Pros

  • Spawn with a chain chestplate.
  • Regenerate health when near the nexus.
  • Instant teleport into the nexus area when the nexus is under attack.
  • Get more health while near the nexus the lower the nexus' health is.


Cons

  • Loses its effectiveness in offensive play outside of the player's team's base.
  • If a Handyman heals the nexus enough, will potentially lose maximum health.
  • Without proper gear, can still easily fail against a strength rush.


Tips & Tactics

  • Go to the iron mine and mine yourself XP and iron, then make yourself protection and sharpness I iron gear, and do it again and combine it in an anvil. If you hear your nexus, use the dye.
  • If you get a boss buff, use strength. You already have regeneration, so you can eat up strength rushers.
  • While dishonorable and disrespectful, you can defend outside your nexus, and if you get hurt, you can teleport to your nexus to stay alive.
  • Regardless of when you became a defender, if your nexus is damaged the console will count the defender regardless if there is a defender on that team or not, so if you go defender at nexus health of 23, you will still have about 13 hearts.
  • If you are Scorpio'd into the void, it is possible to use your dye to save yourself.
