Class Comparison

Class Comparison Table

These are GENERAL notes for the classes. Some Sub-Class's characteristics run counter to the generalities of their class. There are melee styles with AOE skills, there are magic users with melee attacks, etc. Generally every class/sub-class have some version of every skill type and attack style, which (depending on general effectiveness, enemy combatant, or player style) may or may not be used in any given situation.

See Sub Class Comparison for more details.

• Fighting Style
  • Melee means uses weapons
  • Magic means uses MP

Name	Fighting style	Attack Style	Range	Defense	Speed	Difficulty	Popularity
Slayer	Melee	sword sweeps, mobs in front and slightly up and down	Medium	good	Fast	Generally good, a really good class if you've never played 2D scrollers before. Tend to have dark/shadow elemental attribute/skills.	Very common
Fighter	Melee	handles monsters one-on-one, quickly finishing them and moving on	Close	mediocre, but some skills lend invincibility	Fastest	Harder to play than the Slayer due to the shorter range, but very satisfying damage. Tend to have light elemental attribute/skills. Brawler sub-class can poison.	Rare
Gunner	Melee	attacks damage in horizontal lines, aiming is important; but good with mobs	Longest	mediocre	Skill dependent	Very few close range skills, thus is best in a party situation. Harder for new players to solo with this class; however the variety of long-range skills can potentially keep enemies away indefinitely.	Common
Mage	Magic	damage patterns are skill dependent, with a wide variety of skills	Long	poor	Medium	Tends to be more difficult to play than the other classes. Very low HP and very low defense makes this character very dependent on the skill of the player. There are many different skills to choose from and many different ways to combo the skills. Mages fall when failing a dash attack.	Medium common
Priest	Magic/Melee	damage patterns are skill dependent, with the widest variety of skills	All	great	Slow	Can Heal, can evade via skills, can attack from long or short range, can be a Mage or a Melee attacker or simply support, can handle mobs or be excellent at one-on-one. These almost endless opportunities makes planning this class of character ahead of time very very important, as spending sp randomly can easily create a weak character.	Uncommon

Name	Class	Range	Source	Skill type	Difficulty	Notes
Blade Master	Slayer	Middle	Melee	Speed	Entry level	A good character to play if you're new to both this game and 2D scrollers in general.
Soul Bender	Slayer	Middle	Melee	Buff	Entry level	A good character to play if you're new to both this game and 2D scrollers in general
Berserker	Slayer	Middle	Melee	Buff	Beginner	Slightly more difficult than the Soul Bender due to skills sacrificing HP for damage. Very gory animation.
Asura	Slayer	Long	Magic	Nuke	Entry level	The magic-user of the Slayers, however has access to the best defense (Plate Armor). Unfortunately the Plate Armor slows them down somewhat, however this is not a class that needs to be highly mobile.
Nen Master	Fighter	Middle	Magic	Buff	Beginner	The magic user of the Fighters. Uses light attacks, gives buffs, and can set areas of protection.
Striker	Fighter	Short	Melee	Speed	Beginner	The hand-to-hand fighting version of the Blade Master. Fastest of her class, faster than the Blade Master.
Brawler	Fighter	Short	Melee	Weapon Buff	Beginner	Uses poison. Many of her skills allow her to deal with mobs.
Grappler	Fighter	Middle	Melee	Nuke	Beginner	Major skills tend to slam opponents into other opponents for AOE damage.
Ranger	Gunner	Variable	Melee	Speed	Beginner	Known for quick attacks (see Scud Genocide). Has more melee attacks than any other Gunner.
Launcher	Gunner	Long	Melee	Nuke	Beginner	Longest attack range (off-screen), tends to have long AOE damage with a wide range up and down. MP intensive.
Mechanic	Gunner	Long	Magic	Summoner	Beginner	Very MP intensive as he mostly summons machines deal physical damage. Is different from the Mage Summoner in that he has more stationary summons and certain skills that provide buffs to characters.
Spitfire	Gunner	Long	Magic, Melee	Nuke, Weapon Buff	Intermediate	Intermediate is due to lack of close range damage/protection skills, either points must be carefully allocated into the general Gunner skills or a careful playing style is needed.
Elementalist	Mage	Long	Magic	Nuke	Intermediate	Very MP intensive, which is only somewhat ameliorated by clothing bonuses and mp skills. This is off-set by high damage AOE skills; usually specialized in only 2 elements due the the Elemental Mastery skills.
Summoner	Mage	Long	Magic	Summoner	Beginner	MP intensive. Mostly mobile elemental summons, with skills to buff summons and to set targets. Have slightly more skills used to control summons.
Witch	Mage	Variable	Magic, Melee	Weapon Buff, Nuke	Intermediate	Potentially MP intensive, should you chose to be an AOE witch. AOE attacks are based on chance, with a possibility of failure, normal, and jackpot. A melee/pvp witch uses weapon buffs and close-range attacks; weapon buffs add an elemental attribute to the broom. Due to movement skills related to the broom, this is the most mobile of the Mage sub classes. Must be planned carefully, like an Exorcist, due to the variety of options/elements.
Battle Mage	Mage	Medium	Melee	Buff	Intermediate	Possibly the steepest learning curve, but with potentially with great damage, at great speeds, with excellent mobbing capability and near infinite combos. Their buffs are called Chasers, which are generated automatically upon skill usage and can be launched at enemies to inflict AOE damage, stun effect, and negative attributes. Tends to be weak/difficult until level 25, however is very strong in the end game.
Crusader	Priest	Short	Magic	Buff	Intermediate	Best Support Character, with skills that heal, protect, and buff. Offensive melee attacks tend to be short ranged. Achieves a good AOE attack upon joining the Holy Order. Careful SP and MP planning is needed, and Heal can be cast only a certain number of times in dungeon.
Monk	Priest	Short	Melee	Speed	Intermediate	Very fast, very strong hand-to-hand attacks with a dodging element, with many available skill Masteries. Will Driver is a buff that unlocks other skills for use. Careful skill point allocation is needed as there are many attack skills and Masteries.
Exorcist	Priest	Variable	Melee, Magic	Variable	Intermediate	The most versatile sub class in the game, all Skill Types are well represented with good damage potential. Plan this character very carefully as there are many ways to built it, such as being highly melee or being highly magic or being a mix of long range and close range.
