Goalbinder

"Along the crystal-clear, sun-drenched beaches of Canella Avaticana, a unique sport emerged from the heart of the nation’s vibrant coastal culture. Designed as a celebration of both community and skill, Goalbinding quickly became the beloved pastime of the hardworking people. Played atop the waves, the game challenges participants to master the rare and demanding art of water-walking magic, allowing them to sprint, pivot, and leap across the ocean’s surface as they battle for control of the ball. More than just a sport, Goalbinding became a unifying tradition, bringing entire communities together along the shoreline to cheer, compete, and revel in the shared joy of the sea and sport."

The Goalbinder is a famous ball-player who's honed skills in the game benefit in combat as well. Their knowledge in kicking an Impact Ball in certain angles, at certain speeds, and with immense strength, allows them to flourish in combat, hitting their enemies with a fast and painful curveball they never see coming. As a Goalbinder, you must kick your ball into enemies to deal damage, but must go retreat the ball afterwards wherever it lands in order to attack again. The first time an enemy is hit by the Goalbinder, they roll to become Dazed. Ricochets are always possible with the impact ball.
