About Classes
written by Brooke Renna
There are 15 classes available to play as, some available straight away and some that require a little seeking out. All new players start as the Generalist, but your class can be switched by finding a Trainer in the world (Hover your mouse over people on the map to see a tooltip about who they are!) and stepping on the tile they’re in. This will bring up a choice in your choice log enabling you to switch class (Note: you can only have one change class choice in your log at any time).
All classes have different styles in battle, different weighting to their stats and different abilities. Many class abilities improve based on your level, how often you’ve switched to that class, or how often you’ve used that ability.
So, what are the classes and what do they do?
