Martyr

The Martyrs (殉教者 Junkyōsha) are a series of cards that include "Martyr" in its card name exclusive to the Aether Sentinel clan.

Playstyle
The archetype focuses on rear-guards sacrificing themselves to power up other units, as well as to gain resources, while the vanguard gains effects whenever another unit is retired. The rear-guards themselves are more akin to martyrs in this way, but the vanguard, seeing their comrades die, gains the strength needed to end the fight quickly, in memory of those who have fallen.

Background
Who are the Martyrs?

The Martyrs are a special group in Aether Sentinel who believe that fighting is also a useful way to protect the citizens of Cray and Earth. They are willing to fight to the death if it means ending a war as quickly as possible, and with as few civilian casualties as possible. They do not fight blindly, however. They rely on nobles to foretell the future and healers to strengthen a martyr's life force to prevent multiple casualties within their ranks as well. Their way of fighting mirrors that of a knight's loyalty to their king. For the Martyrs, however, their king is the people of Cray and Earth.
