* [-'''5★ Operators of this archetype:''' Ayerscarpe, Lappland-]

* [-'''6★ Operators of this archetype:''' Ch'en, Irene-]

* [-'''6★ Operators of this archetype:''' Chong Yue, Mountain-]

* AchillesHeel: Elemental damage. Since they can't be healed, Wandering Medics can do nothing to help them as they get blasted with that kind of damage.

* [-'''6★ Operators of this archetype:''' [=SilverAsh=], Thorns, Qiu Bai-]

!!!'''Default DP cost range (without potential upgrades):''' 22 - 23[[note]]No 6-star operator released yet to have this upper bound cost[[/note]] DP

* SituationalSword: Their high HP and lack of defensive stats makes them suitable for fighting enemies who inflict Arts damage. Most other Guards have relatively low RES and much less HP than Crushers, meaning that in terms of percentage of HP they take more damage from Arts attacks. An Arts attack that might knock off large chunk of another Guard's HP will do far less overall to a Crusher.

* ExtraOreDinary: Wields the ability to manipulate metal.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Tries to stop Emperor from killing the musbeast he found in Penguin Logistics' hideout wall in "It's Been A While". [[spoiler:Fortunately, the gun Emperor used turns out to be a lighter, and simply opted to adopt said musbeast (much to the barkeeper's annoyance).]]

* {{BFS}}: So far, all Crushers favor some sort of greatsword, which justifies their slow attack speed somewhat.

* [-'''6★ Operators of this archetype:''' Surtr-]

* [-'''6★ Operators of this archetype:''' Nearl the Radiant Knight, Skadi-]

* JackOfAllStats: Guards aren't as tough as Defenders but have better offenses, and aren't as cheap as Vanguards but can hold their ground better. Some of them even have ranged attacks much like Snipers, though it can only deal 80% of their attack power.

* [-'''5★ Operators of this archetype:''' Swire, Whislash-]

->'''Race:''' Unknown

* ChainsawGood: All of them excepting Estelle (who uses her fists to somehow deal [=AoE=] damage), use chainsaws or weapons that behave like them, justifying their symbol.

* GlassCannon: They boast ludicrous amounts of HP and ATK, but their DEF and RES is literally 0.
** To put it in a concrete way, this means that all damage they receive will directly deduct their ATK (it will be True Damage) unless they are granted buffs to these stats.

* GlassCannon: Each of them have high or decent attack stats. They also all have skills (and talents in Popukar, Savage, and Broca's cases) which allow them to deal even more damage. Due to their [[HerdHittingAttack Herd-Hitting Attacks]], they're especially dangerous in {{Zerg Rush}}es. Despite this and their good HP, their defense stats are all medicore (sans Estelle who has bad defense) and their resistance stats are all 0. Though Savage's talent, most of Blaze's skills, and to a lesser extent Broca's talent down the "Glass" part and boost the "Cannon" part, and Gavial the Invincible is a straight up LightningBruiser.

* ConsummateProfessional: He's a very big proponent in not letting your emotions get in the way of your work, so he always takes his job very seriously and follows orders to the letter.

* OneManArmy: In the "Break the Ice", there's practically nothing that [=SilverAsh's=] forces can do against him, as he easily outmaneuvers and outfights even his most elite forces. Pretty much the only person that can stop Sharp is [[spoiler:Degenbrecher]].

* MagicKnight: Not to the height of Arts Fighters, obviously, but all of them except Frostleaf have a skill or talent that allows them to output additional Arts damage.
