Guardians
With the highest defense stats out of the twelve classes, the Guardian has the ability to hold back enemies and is usually the cornerstone of the front line. One of the main roles of the Guardian is to draw the attention of the enemy and take the most damage of the group. Guardians can equip nearly all kinds of armor and weapons, but most players choose heavy plate armor, a shield, and a one-handed weapon (such as a sword, axe or mace), as this configuration best suits a Guardian's strengths and battle role.

The Guardian class supports the front line and has many skills to draw aggro. For example, the Guardian is the only class that has multiple skills for the shield as well as skills that nullify damage for a set amount of time. However, the Guardian's potential to directly deal damage is not very high.

Samurai
The Samurai primarily uses Japanese equipment like daiyoroi, katana and tachi. The Samurai's defense is said to rival that of the Guardian, but because of the class's inability to equip shields, its overall defense is considered inferior. Despite this, the samurai's role can also be that of the Tank, drawing the attention of the enemy and taking the most damage of the group. Samurai, like Soujiro for example, can also duel-wield, which can increase their damage output.

The Samurai class has many so-called "Ace Moves" that can chain large amount of combos in a short time with high offensive and defensive abilities, but with long cooldowns. However, once an Ace Move is executed, the Samurai is unable to respond quickly to attacks and may even be unable to move.[1]

Also, most of the Samurai's skills have a long cool down period (generally 5–10 minutes); as a result, each can only be used once or twice per battle, making this class more suitable for short fights, rather than long ones. This is opposite of the Monk class, which can chain techniques for long periods of time.

Despite this shortcoming, each skill is very strong and accurate and can be quite effective against players who are 20 levels or higher than the Samurai. Naturally, this class requires incredible insight of the battlefield, thus making it difficult to use.

Monk
Of the twelve classes, the Monk has the highest HP stats but has lower defense stats compared to weapon-based classes. To compensate for this, the class has a high evasion rate and the greatest resistance to special attacks. This allows the Monk to function as an evasion-type tank.

In contrast to the Samurai class, most of the skills that can be acquired by the Monk class have very short cooldowns, allowing them to attack continuously by using a variety of offensive techniques. Some combinations give special bonuses or trigger additional combos if performed in a predetermined order.

[Quinlan63]

Assassin
Of the twelve classes, the Assassin can deal the most physical damage per second. A purely offensive class, Assassins are not only masters of bladed weapons, but are also capable of wielding ranged weapons. In fact, some players prefer ranged weapons and act as rear guard support.

The range of weapons available to Assassins includes light-weight arms such as daggers, long swords, two-handed weapons, and ranged weapons such as long and short bows and crossbows. They also have the ability to dual-wield swords and daggers to maximize the damage inflicted onto a target.

This class's skills generally have long cooldown periods, and Assassins specialize in high burst damage, targeting a weak spot and killing an enemy in one hit.
In addition, Assassins can apply poison to their weapons.

However, Assassins have almost no defensive skills and on evasion for defense.

Most players who play an Assassin character take advantage of the class' stealth abilities to get close to an opponent unnoticed and then attack viciously with a high-damage skill. If traveling with a party's advance guard, an Assassin will sometimes sneak into proximity to the opponents and use less powerful skills to gradually shave away their endurance.

In addition to sneak attacks and stealth, an Assassin can also be used for surveillance and recon.

Swashbuckeler
The Swashbuckler is an offensive melee class and a master of using two weapons, capable of using a weapon in each hand. Though it has less HP and defense compared to the warrior classes, it is considered the best defender among the other weapon-based classes.

Swashbucklers specialize in continuously attacking with two weapons. Though the class deals less damage than Assassins, it makes up for it with many combos and longer streams of damage.

Most of its skills focus on attacking multiple enemies at once with area of effect attacks. The class also has a wide range of skills that cause status effects on enemies. When fighting enough enemies at once, the Swashbuckler can deal as much DPS as the Assassin.

[Quinlan63]

Cleric
As priests who work for the sanctuaries, Clerics have the highest healing skills among the twelve classes. The Cleric is a healing specialist, said to cancel out an average of five to ten attacks with all kinds of recovery and healing skills, involving a powerful automatic healing spell that is triggered by an enemy attack.However, similar to the Enchanter class, Clerics lack strong offensive abilities and must join a party to be effective against strong enemies.

MP Regen Rate- 10 points a second

Physical Defence- 1% per point of Strength (Max: 50%)

[Quinlan63]

Druid
Pledged to nature and spirits, a Druid is a magic-type Healer, specializing in using Heal-over-Time spells. Out of the twelve classes, the Druid can produce the greatest HP-per-second recovery rate by stacking various skills to speed up the healing process. Aside from healing spells, the Druid has a fair amount of offensive and defensive magic and is considered the most well-rounded of the healer classes. The Druid can also use magic that controls the forest. As a result, battling against enemies in the forest will be advantageous for parties with Druids. However, one of the Druid's weaknesses is MP consumption, making them incapable of continuously casting spells for long periods of time. Thus, a Druid must be very aware and keep track of his or her MP use.

Kannagi
The Kannagi is a spirit medium who talks to spirits and ancient gods. Because they are able to equip Japanese-style clothing, males are nicknamed Shinto Priests and females are called Miko; at level 40, Kannagi will receive clothing to fit those titles. This role is basically the Japanese equivalent of a Medium and it's similar to Druid but on a much weaker scale. However, they can augment other healers of a group, as well as act as battle surveyors.

A Kannagi's healing style revolves around damage interception, creating barriers around a single ally or the party. Thus, rather than healing damage after it's done, these techniques prevent damage from being taken in the first place. A barrier placed on a target can completely nullify a predetermined amount of damage. However, cast times are relatively long and it requires a lot of practice to get around. Successfully using this technique in a fight depends on the user's ability to predict the type and range of the enemy, making it hard to master.

The class's weaknesses are its unique style (which takes a lot of skill to use) and its weak heals. Compared to the other healer classes, the Kannagi's healing techniques are the weakest because they focus on damage mitigation. This makes it difficult for it to help a team make a comeback if they are already losing a fight, but the potential benefit of negating damage can give a team a huge advantage in the right situation.

Sorcerer
Specializing in tapping into the power of the elements for fierce and powerful spells, the Sorcerer has the highest magical damage out of the twelve classes and is essentially the magical counterpart of the Assassin. Utilizing the different attributes of offensive magic, the Sorcerer has a richer variety of Area of Effect damaging spells compared to weapon-based classes, making it an extremely versatile class. However, this class suffers from low HP and the lowest defense of the twelve classes, and can easily die in a few seconds if attacked. Normally, a sorcerer is more of a support fighter and likened to long-range artillery. They are not meant for front-line combat unless the Sorcerer is well-defended.

When coupled with a support character, such as a Bard, the attack strength of a Sorcerer can be multiplied substantially. Due to the fact that a Sorcerer has a wide variety of spells, the cool-down period each spell can also vary, depending on its power, range and effect.

MP Regen Rate- 10 points a second

[Quinlan63]

Bard
A Bard can only use short swords, bows and other light weapons or instruments. However, unlike other weapon-based classes, Bards have the unique ability to use Song Magic, which allows them to tremendously increase their allies' combat prowess. In particular, the Bard has support songs that grant continuous buffs until cancelled and are ranked substantially above those cast by an Enchanter. On top of that, these support songs can be toggled on and off at will. There is a great variety of songs in the skill set, each of which are very powerful.
However, the Bard's own combat prowess is quite low, and few players choose this class. High-level bards can learn up to 15 songs and can activate two songs simultaneously. Since each song requires a very long casting time, having a long-term battle strategy is crucial. Therefore, this class is very challenging to master.

[Quinlan63]

Summoner
Summoners have the magic that allows them to summon mystical beasts or spirits. There are multiple different types of creatures that can be summoned. However, in order to prevent the class from being almighty and omnipotent, the maximum number of summoned creatures (which will stay out until called back) that a player can summon at any moment is one, and the maximum number of summoned creatures that can be registered is twelve. While the number of summoned creatures out at any moment is one, there are limited-time summons, so long as the caster's MP allows for it. Summoners themselves have extremely low HP and defense stats. However, due to the wide variety of creatures that can be summoned and the ways these creatures can interact with other beings and the environment, a Summoner's role within a party can include offense, healing, or support. This inherent flexibility makes it an extremely popular class among players, including solo players.

MP Regen Rate- 10 points a second

[Quinlan63]

Enchanter
Among the twelve classes, the Enchanter has the highest MP stat. However, its offensive damage in terms of both specialized spells and melee is extremely low, making it inherently a support class. Its defensive stamina is also very low, making it an unsuitable class for solo play and the least popular class in Elder Chronicles. Some players say that the class is one that exists in concept but that they've never actually encountered an Enchanter in the game.

Enchanters are usually able to stay in combat for long periods of time because their spells consume MP at a slow rate, and they generally support other party members, rather than engaging directly in combat themselves. Enchanters are an extremely versatile class that boasts a rich repertoire of spells at their full disposal. These range from buffs that raise the combat prowess of party members to spells that add status effects to enemies. Still, due to the Enchanter's extremely low offensive and defensive capabilities, it is nearly impossible for an Enchanter to finish a fight alone.

Enchanters' spells can make allies' attacks more accurate or boost their ability to dodge incoming attacks. Although Enchanters' spells generally do not do much damage, they can alter the behavior of enemies by confusing them or inhibiting their attacks. Used strategically, this ability can alter the outcome of a battle. Enchanters and other classes like them are normally in the back of a party and can also operate as observers and strategists. Since these types are normally not burdened with front-line duty, they are seen as the organizers and directors.

[Quinlan63]

Alchemist
As its name suggests, an alchemist is basically a researcher who studies the magical effects of elements and chemicals upon people and other things. Alchemy is the subject of transforming one element into another, also known as transmutation. One of the most famous of all transmutations is the ability to transform base metals such as lead into gold.
Alchemists can create things such as potions and poisons. Most of the products of this subclass are battle orientated, and provide either debuffs (such as lowering defense), damage over time (e.g. poisons), and minor buffs to themselves (like a speed boost). Although their creations aren't normally of the healing nature, they are capable of creating minor healing items, although they generally lack potency.


WIP

 

[Quinlan63]

Animal Trainer
The Animal Trainer can tame, domesticate, and take care of various monsters. However, unlike Summoners, the monsters they tame will die when they are killed, and is always by the owner's side. This is also considered a role-playing subclass.

WIP

 

[Quinlan63]

Apprentice
An Apprentice is able to register another player to be his/her teacher, as long as the other player accepts. Though unpopular due to lacking a "unique" skill set, an Apprentice "copies" the low-level skills of the teachers' subclass. Because this subclass receives experience bonuses, it is easy to level.

Where this subclass shines the most is when the Apprentice changes their subclass. Apprentices can switch into nearly any other subclass and carry their EXP with them. Normally, a player who switched subclasses would have to start at level 1 in their new subclass. A level 30 Apprentice who became a Commander, however, would be a level 30 Commander. This makes it a quicker way to gain experience for subclasses that are difficult to level.

Naturally, there are limitations as to how many subclasses and skills can be learned as an Apprentice. At most, an Apprentice can have four mentors of four different subclasses. Furthermore, they can only copy skills up to half their Apprentice level. Since the Apprentice subclass caps at level 50, an Apprentice can only copy skills up to level 25 at most. For those who take multiple mentors, that skill level cap drops to level 20/15/10.

Avenger
The abilities of this Slayer-like subclass are revealed after registering a person from your friends list as “the one you avenge”. If that Player receives damage or is inflicted with an abnormal status, you have special skills that can help you take revenge on the one who did it.

Artificer

[Quinlan63]

Berserker
In combat, Berserker can attack enemies head-on in a nearly-uncontrollable battle rage, making this subclass good for a purely offensive strategy. Increased resilience, provides HP absorption attacks and increased defense near death.

WIP

 

[Quinlan63]

Butler
Butler is one of the many role-playing subclasses in which the Butler is tasked in serving a master in every need and always loyal to him/her. They are given skills used to help their master and are given buff for serving someone.

WIP

 

[Quinlan63]

Commander
Represents a frontline commander that leads troops in combat. The player can strengthen and support allies in large-scale battles. However, because there are no self-buffing skills, it’s not good for solo play.

WIP

 

[Quinlan63]

Doll Master
These people can not only create dolls, but also manipulate them with their skills.

WIP

 

[Quinlan63]

Duelist
A roleplaying subclass that represents one’s honor and chivalry in a one-on-one fight. You gain various bonuses during a duel, or some support skills to make a fight one-on-one. On the other hand, to display a “respect for a duel of honor,” poison skills and deceptive attack skills are forbidden. In other words, it would be a terrible decision for an Assassin to pick this subclass. This subclass is powerful in a one-on-one, but is less effective in group-on-group battles, so it’s pretty unpopular. Its benefits are outclassed by other fighter subclasses, but it can be useful for solo players.

[Quinlan63]

Fisherman
A roleplaying subclass that allows the user to capture aquatic creatures an deal bonus damage to them.

[Quinlan63]

Gladiator
Provides buffs in PvP and is designed to dazzle the audience. Skills can only be activated in certain situations, such as “taking the opponent’s attack head-on,” “the battle exceeded a certain duration,” or “recovering HP and MP.” this subclass also grants some regional Warrior-class abilities that are beneficial for PvP.
