Classes, skills and elements

For your journey there are not only races to choose from but classes as well. They can be seen as occupations or different fighting styles and as such every class has different attributes and special skills next to the hand combat that every character is able to do (those are weaker than the special skills as well as attacks executed with weapons though). Here is an overview to all classes.

KNIGHTS

Knights' abilities allow them to move swiftly throughout the battlefields. They have both an impressive knack for attack and guard motions, making them one of the most balanced classes to choose from. They use both shield and sword in attacks, or some dueling double blades when their rank is higher. Their shift movements allow them to dodge incoming attacks easier than other classes as well as have strong counterattacks. Next to regular physical hits that do not require any FP, they have special skills using FP and more unlocking as your character ranks up.

Strengths: close combat, diversionary tactics, armor, weapons: twin swords and powerful shield.
Weaknesses: the weight of armor can slow a knight down, the expense of weapons breaking or buying them, and low magic/health.

GAME TIPS: STR is the most important of all STATS to knights.
Knights cannot use a shield when fighting with double blades/two swords.

MAGICIANS

The magicians are magic wielding offensive fighters getting their magic from their mental power. They need higher MP than the other classes and are able to utilize this in battle. Their range of skills is varied, containing abilities to attack, search, and support in a number of ways, including locking on a number of opponents at once.

Strengths: strong spiritual presences, highly offensive magic, attacking multiple enemies at once and good relations with gods.
Weakness: weak hand-to-hand combat, and unlike priests not able to use magic to heal/resurrect.

GAME TIP: The higher the INT stats, the more damage the spells make and the longer do they work.

PRIESTS

The priests use magic powers derived from their devotions to the gods. They are not primarily offensive players, often being the “support” of a team considering their attack is very low. However, a team with a skilled priest will avoid casualties far better than one without.

Strengths: A priest has spells to fortify, purify, and resurrect party members in need. They also heal, cleanse, boost, and resurrect their friends.
Weakness: Low attack, uses up MP quickly, and usually not able to rank up easily on their own.

GAME TIP: Priests rely highly on INT and team members. The higher the INT, the longer do their spells take effect. The spells they use can be used on themselves and other players.

ARCHERS

Archers can swiftly attack from far distances often without being dealt any damage to their persons. They allow you to think one or two steps ahead your enemy, using clever tactics to defeat them. Eventually with the raise in rank, they are also able to use stun, poison, bombs and an array of other useful skills that require FP.

Strengths: quick, able to deal high damage from a distance, decent ability of magic, able to use other tactics with improvement of skill, and the strategist of the classes.
Weakness: make low damage with close combat, low defense, need to go back to town and stock up on their arrows frequently.

GAME TIP: Archers need a lot of DEX to be fast and accurate with their shots. Also, keep count of your arrows.

ELEMENTS

Elements are helpful bonus skills that you can acquire when reaching the two highest ranks. Unlike special skills that need FP and MP to be executed, elemental skills are not bound to either FP or MP. Instead, they have a cool down time. That means that you cannot use two elemental skills right after each other, even if they are two different elements. Elemental skills require a lot of strength so choose the right moment to use them in combination with your other skills.
