- Heavy Knights are the last in a long line of honorable guardians known for their enchanted armors and unrelenting ferocity on the battlefield
- Deadly Hunter are known for their quickness and stealth as they rain death from afar with magic projectiles
- Arcane Blademaster learned long ago that magic alone is weak, mastering the blade brings strength to the transient nature of the magic
- Elemental Barbarian are not burdened by the weight of armor but wield the elements to protect themselves and wreck destruction on their enemies
- Dark Druids can expect to have access powerful monstrous abilities to defeat the game in an entirely new approach to ARPG and Fighting Game PVP.
