===== Battle Role =====
{{wst>typyl guide nav|name = typebrole}}
**Battle Role** determines the individual's main purpose inside of a fight.
This is divided into different roles, and an individual may have more than one if they are proficient in those as well.

Currently, there are 30 roles available for use.
