Best Class To Choose Based On Your Playstyle
Whether you’re a beginner to this type of action-style MMORPG or you’re a veteran of how these games play, the advanced classes in each base class all play so differently that there will be something to your liking.
To reachadvanced classes, you’ll need to follow the main story of the game until youreach level 15. You’ll then be given a chance to do the Class Branch quest that will result in you trying out the advanced subclasses for each class, finally choosing one.
Beginner
The base classes are all set up for you when you begin, making it a quick and easy starting place. While you cannot change back to these classes once you’ve chosen an advanced subclass, they all do a good job of not requiring too much from you, as you’ll usually start with just three or four simple skills you may rotate between to deal damage. The skill tree only goes to level 10, so you’ll have an easy time no matter which base class you choose.
The Bounty Hunter is a fast class that’s easily learned as it’s the most similar to the base classes. A decent option for an advanced subclass for beginners.
Intermediate
These classes are not as difficult with resource management, but they have specific abilities that require a bit extra when playing them.
Managing your shield while having low health as the Berserker is important enough to be worth taking the time to learn. The ability to cheat death is also helpful, and the passive healing keeps this class from being too difficult.
Using the New Moon and Full Moon phases as the Scytheguard properly can boost damage and heal you, but you need to know a rotation and keep it up as you play for full use of the class.
The Starbreaker is relatively simple to use, dealing high amounts of damage, however there are skills to keep up with when playing that may require more work from beginners. The same can be said for Elementalist.
Advanced
These classes require a lot of micromanagement, making them more suited for players who are familiar with the genre and cooldown management.
The Cloudstriker won’t be useful and will not deal damage unless you properly switch stances.
The Magician and its RNG require constant attention and upkeep for optimal use while switching through cards in your rotation.
The Blademaiden requires optimal positioning of the puppet with your rotation. The Magiblade requires ensuring you have every cooldown timed properly to keep your speed buffs up and get your damage buffs while rotating through your combo chains.
