What The Class Selection Does & Why It Depends On YOU
I could go on and on about the classes and in a perfect paper world with all maxed gear and skills all classes become quite similar in what they can do – but that is the point here, we are not living in that perfect world where all of us have maxed account! Our ranking below takes that into account and if you open the descriptions you will see how well a class does without selling your car or putting an extra mortage on yur house (also called F2P or low-spender players) and how well a class does if you actually spend significantly. Right now that means the Duelist path is the best performing with low investment and the Sage/Arcanist is the best when having all well-built but that requires investment. With that in mind, you can actually choose a class that works well for you(r) budget. Sorry, don’t kill the messenger here, I didn’t design the game and the monetization, this is just the reality of us testing for hundreds of hours.
Class Progression
If you have still some questions about class progression, it is a journey through your server that normally looks like this:
- Day 1 to Day 4 you will have the Basic Classes Warrior and Mage
- Day 4 to Day 12 you will use the T2 Classes which are Duelist, Knight, Sorcerer and Sage
- Day 12 and onwards you will have the T3 classes
- T4 becomes available with Season 2
- T5 becomes available with Season 3
So your start playing and your server progresses through the seasons which unlock new classes that you can unlock once you reach the region and level for it.
A Class Choice in Sword x Staff – Will It Botch My Account?
Well, some classes are better for F2P and other scale better for players that are willing to spend more on the game. Some are easier to handle others require a little bit more time to master and understand. Below we have some short explanations for you to see what the class progress will mean for you general progress and you can get to the builds for recommend for the different class
In a nutshell, if you’re not sure what to pick, the Sage Tree has the highest power potential but requires the most investment, so as F2P you will suffer with that class path. For F2P the Duelist/Knight path is the easier accessible one. In T4 it all balances more out so this is only for the early progression until you reach Season 2.
WarriorWarriorThe Warrior class excels in mobility and high damage output, utilizing lifesteal and cheat-death mechanics to overcome significant power deficits. However, it requires heavy investment for certain techniques to be effective and can struggle with range limitations and early-game elemental variety.
DuelistBest build →DuelistThe Duelist class excels at pushing combat power deficits due to its high damage output, exceptional movement, and survivability through cheat death passives and lifesteal. However, it faces limitations in the early game with restricted elemental affinities and can be hindered by heavy investment requirements and melee range constraints against certain enemies.
BerserkerBest build →BerserkerThe Berserker class excels in mobility and damage, utilizing cheat death mechanics and lifesteal to overcome significant combat power deficits. However, it requires heavy investment in techniques and faces range limitations as a melee class with restricted early-game elemental affinities.
ConquerorBest build →S2ConquerorFinally able to switch more into Elemental damage rather than being locked into physical damage really opens up the class in terms of flexibility
KnightBest build →KnightThe Knight class excels in survivability, using consistent blocking and the Rebound skill to push through difficult AoE content and multi-hit enemies. However, it suffers from awkward stat priorities and a Glass Cannon build that is only viable under specific, low-pressure conditions or with a dedicated tank.
PaladinBest build →PaladinThe Paladin is a highly resilient class that excels at surviving against multi-hit enemies and pushing through high-difficulty content thanks to its defensive layers and versatile DPS options. However, it suffers from cumbersome stat priorities and requires specific conditions, like a dedicated tank, to safely utilize its glass cannon build.
GuardianBest build →S2GuardianThe guardian class gets some more love int erms of being able to deal damage.
MageMageThe Mage class offers a high damage ceiling with versatile elemental techniques and fun AoE builds that excel at clearing enemies. However, it is the squishest class in the game with minimal defensive layers and can struggle with low critical hit rates without specific gear or abilities.
SorcererBest build →SorcererThe Sorcerer class offers a high damage ceiling with versatile elemental techniques and enjoyable AoE builds. However, it is extremely squishy due to a lack of defensive layers and struggles with early-game crit rates without specific gear or skills.
ArchmageBest build →ArchmageThe Archmage excels with a high damage ceiling and versatile, flashy AoE builds across most elements, ensuring efficient enemy elimination. However, it is the squishiest class in the game due to a lack of defensive layers and struggles with early-game crit rates without specific gear or Mana Surge.
DestroyerBest build →S2DestroyerWith some many options, this class feels the most letdown probably because there was already so much going on before. freeze is not reliable anymore but still there is a lot to do once you're able to have your skills well leveled
SageBest build →SageThe Sage is a highly versatile class offering diverse playstyles and unique healing or resurrection abilities that become essential for high-level dungeons. However, it remains a squishy class that cannot tank effectively and requires significant time to fully unlock certain advanced builds.
ArcanistBest build →ArcanistThe Arcanist is a highly versatile class offering various playstyles and unique access to healing and resurrection, which are vital for difficult dungeons. However, it remains a squishy class that cannot tank at high levels, and many of its specialized builds require significant time to unlock.
DominatorBest build →S2DominatorEnemies get more sturdy and DoT is quite hard to use reliably so Season 2 might be tough if you pick this class without really loving it
Your first pick isn't final: you can switch class later in the game. Highlighted classes are the current endgame classes.
