| 107 | * StoneWall: He initially seems to be a MightyGlacier, being slow as molasses but coming in with a Sword Medium for the highest damage in the party, plus an ability and the defense to be pretty meaty. This damage off later on, but his defense never does. Set him up as a support tank with Moon or Mountain Mediums and you'll be great. |
| 108 | * SwordAndGun: The handle of his gun has a hidden blade in it. He'll only use it for special attacks though. |
| 109 | * TeamDad: The most mature of the group, and tries to take care of everybody. [[spoiler: Especially fitting since he WAS a dad till his son died.]] |
