Dic is a mixed ranged character with good speed, good strength, and good endurance. Although Gaspar may be the more appealing option with more offensive skills and better range, Dic stands out from his counterpart by being the only character in the game that can regenerate armor for both himself and his allies using his wards. A good starting character for beginners, Dic is recommended for people who want a balanced character that can also help teammates. Dic is also a support type, with low stats, but has utilities for a team. He’s not bad for melee with his L attack, but nothing really specialized for it. His shotgun makes easy to finish an enemy. His EMP removes enemy’s armor, and ward charging ally’s AP.
Suggested skill:
LR + JR or LLL
Profile[]
"Dwarven ‘Symbol’ Hero"
The Senior General of Ginia. When the evil generalissimo of the Dwarf Empire who dreamed to govern the world suspected his downfall, and spread his blood relatives on the ground by manipulating his genes. The plan was to create the so-called ‘children of the generalissimo’. The by-product of the plan was Dic. Although Dic was born with cursed blood, he vowed to use his given power for righteousness and peace. He is serious, but he doesn’t understand that the eccentric character of dwarves could make other people displeased. Dic’s power comes from the special protein molecule carved into his body. This protein molecule is a sort of non-duplicable master key, which can receive preferential power transmitted from a reaction furnace located in Rockport, the city of the dwarves. Dic’s power armor resource comes from Dic himself. The problem is that the power used by Dic is similar to the one used by the generalissimo of the Dwarf Empire in the past, so some people suspect that Dic might be the reincarnation of the generalissimo of the Dwarf Empire. On the contrary, the three scientists who worked for the generalissimo speak without hesitation that Dic is a ‘failure’. The generalissimo of the Dwarf Empire had capabilities close to God. Compared to that, Dic is just a mediocre clone of the generalissimo. Dic’s abilities obviously can’t be compared with those of the generalissimo, but nobody doubts that he sides with righteousness and will use his power to prevent the evil ambition of the generalissimo and his followers."

An early screenshot of how the box would of been used.
