Light Bearer
The team's living radar and strategic nerve center.
A Light Bearer is a team's mobile command center, surveillance drone, and communication hub rolled into one—a crucial support role for any Regular climbing team. They carry and deploy the Lighthouse, a powerful, floating rectangular device whose pale glow can cut through the Tower's deepest shadows. Light Bearers use it to illuminate dark areas, scout ahead, relay real-time intel to allies, and even conjure defensive barriers or teleportation portals mid-battle. This role is essential for weaving team strategy and keeping everyone alive in the Tower's most unpredictable environments.

Lore & Background
The Light Bearer position is one of the foundational roles established by Headon, the Guardian of the First Floor, to help Regulars survive the Tower's merciless tests. Unlike Fishermen or Spear Bearers, who charge headlong into combat, Light Bearers are prized for their cold strategic value. Their Lighthouse can project light across vast distances, exposing hidden traps, lurking enemies, or secret pathways, and can also be used to stash supplies or erect temporary shelters in a pinch. The most skilled Light Bearers can juggle multiple Lighthouses at once, weaving a web of surveillance and combat support that turns the tide of any skirmish.
In Their Own Story
In the dim, winding corridors of the 20th Floor, a team of Regulars pressed forward cautiously. Their Light Bearer, a young woman with sharp eyes, held her Lighthouse aloft. Its pale blue glow cut through the shadows, revealing a hidden Shinsu trap ahead—a shimmer of deadly pressure waiting to snap shut. She relayed the threat through the Lighthouse's silent light signals, and her teammates sidestepped the ambush. As they advanced, she kept a second Lighthouse orbiting above like a watchful eye, scanning for any movement. When a hidden enemy lunged from the dark, she triggered a blinding flash from the Lighthouse, buying her team precious seconds to regroup and counterstrike. Without her, they would have stumbled blind into oblivion.
Reader's Guide
A Light Bearer's primary tool is the Lighthouse—a floating rectangular device summoned and controlled by Shinsu. It emits light that can pierce darkness, reveal hidden objects, and even lock onto enemies. Beyond illumination, it serves as a long-range communicator, projecting images or coded signals to allies across floors. In combat, a Light Bearer can use the Lighthouse to throw up barriers, flash-blind opponents, or open teleportation portals to reposition teammates. The role demands razor-sharp intelligence and spatial awareness, as the Light Bearer must juggle multiple Lighthouses while reading the battlefield. Notable Light Bearers include Khun Aguero Agnes, who wields his Lighthouse for both support and cunning offensive plays. This position is vital for any team aiming to climb the Tower efficiently, turning chaos into clarity one controlled beam at a time.
