6 classes
A direct starting point
A straightforward physical option for players who want to learn the rhythm of a fight.
A beginner recommendation is not a guarantee of surviving a fight. Learn defensive timing alongside your attacks.
Radex Tips recommends Warrior for beginners because its attacks are straightforward. Source notes.
Critical-hit focus
A dagger-based option for players drawn to critical attacks and burst-oriented turns.
Compare the actual skills you have unlocked. This guide does not assume an endgame damage ranking.
Both community class references describe Thief around critical attacks; Radex lists it as a starting option. Source notes.
Spell-led play
A magic-focused starting class for players who want spells to shape their turns.
Read spell costs before committing resources. We do not publish an unverified damage or Energy formula.
Both references identify Mage as the magic option; Radex confirms it is available at character creation. Source notes.
Consecutive attacks
An unarmed physical style built around a sequence of hits.
Check each technique rather than assuming more hits always means more total damage.
The two class references agree on Fist’s unarmed, consecutive-hit identity. Source notes.
Healing & support
A support-oriented class for players who want healing to be part of their kit.
Healing is a different task from dealing damage. Choose for the role you enjoy, not a universal tier label.
Both class references describe Bard as a healing and support option. Source notes.
Bow-based attacks
A physical ranged option for players who prefer a bow-focused identity.
A ranged identity does not remove the need to learn enemy patterns and defensive timing.
The class references agree on Archer’s ranged identity; the weapon listing specifies a bow. Source notes.
Try a class name, weapon or a broader play style.
YOUR SHORTLIST
Select up to three classes above.
Choose the “Compare” checkbox on a class card to start your shortlist.
Choose by the role you want to learn. The six base classes are starting points, while Super is a later specialization. You do not need to pick an unverified endgame branch to compare the base weapons and broad play styles.
| You want to… | Compare | Why these options? |
|---|---|---|
| Learn with direct attacks | Warrior / Fist | Warrior is the creator’s beginner pick; Fist offers a consecutive-hit physical identity. |
| Support or cast spells | Bard / Mage | Bard is oriented toward healing and support; Mage toward magic. |
| Compare physical styles | Thief / Archer / Warrior | Contrast critical-hit focus, bow-based attacks and a straightforward sword kit. |
Your base class identifies a combat kit. Race and talent are separate character choices; a recommendation for a race does not mean you must choose a class with the same role label. Read the effects actually shown for your character rather than treating a class comparison as a complete build.
The Super class guide explains the Trainer’s Shrine choice and preparation. Before that milestone, the equipment and pet checklist helps you think about the resources you are investing. A class name alone does not determine how well a particular character is equipped.
MAKE THE CHOICE YOURS
For a first character, a straightforward kit makes learning easier. Warrior is the beginner recommendation in Radex Tips’ guide. That is the creator’s advice, not a measured claim that Warrior outperforms every other class.
For a group, ask what you want to contribute. Bard’s support identity answers a different need from a Thief’s critical attacks. For personal preference, compare a physical style with Mage’s spell-led approach.
Your base class also leads into the next stage. Read the Super class progression route before investing around an advanced name you have only seen in an unofficial list.
QUICK ANSWERS
Warrior, Thief, Mage, Fist, Bard and Archer. The community references linked below agree on these six base classes.
This is a play-style comparison, not an S-to-D ranking. It does not measure damage, win rate, or every possible race and equipment combination.
The reviewed references disagree on how well the full named roster is documented. This explorer covers base classes; the progression guide explains the supported upgrade process without presenting disputed branch names as fact.
