Story[]
"Spoiler contents withheld. Reader may reveal them at their own discretion."

Einherjar is first seen during Scene 03. When Espada is surrounded by Pierre's troops and Giulio's friends are executed on the governor's orders, Giulio's rage and hopelessness cause him to black out. He has a vision of a spear and a woman who calls him the successor to Gungnir.
Giulio awakens to see Gungnir come hurtling from the sky. With Elise's instructions, he manages to contact and obtain Einherjar's blessing, who devastates the governor's guard and turns the tide of battle.
Gameplay[]
When summoned to the field, Einherjar will strike all affected targets for a percentage of their current HP, generally halving the HP of everything he hits and is thus vastly useful for weakening high-HP targets.

Etymology[]
