Importance of class systems and which one is the best?
A role-playing game generally has a variety of character modules that can be used under different circumstances. Here you get a class system with various characters' unique abilities and traits. Every character is used under a specific situation based on their expertise. The types of classes are as follows:
Archer
As the name suggests, an Archer or a Hunter is a long-range attacker. You can deal damage to the enemy from long distances. An archer comes in handy when you have an attacker in front with close-range abilities. Archers are bad at close range and will lose in hand-to-hand combat. They can only be used as bonus damage dealers from a long-range.
Thief
Also known as an Assassin is mainly known for stealth kills. If you want to approach the enemy unnoticed, a thief will be the precise character. A thief is also great in hand-to-hand damage-dealing plus; as a bonus, they have high agility compared to other classes with a significant amount of evasiveness. Also, this class can poison the enemy.
Merchant
Also known as a Blacksmith is useful when it comes to trading in the game. This class will mainly aid you in generating in-game revenue. In-game money is very important when it comes to buying stuff from the shop and also upgrades. So having a Merchant is quite helpful from a long-term progression perspective.
Mage
A Mage or Wizard is from the magic class. The mage attacks are magic blasts dealing average amounts of damage. They also have multiple elemental damage abilities such as fire, water, thunder, etc. This makes the mage very versatile, but the damage that a mage deal is very low; hence is not very much reliable in battles and crowd control.
Acolyte
They are the healing class wherein other team members will be healed with the help of an Acolyte or a Priest. Apart from healing, they are not very helpful in offense due to their lack of damage and power. They also have very good power-up capabilities alongside farming abilities, which are very helpful while progressing in the game.
Swordsman
As the name suggests, a swordsman or a knight is a short-range damage dealer. Also, this class can perform effective melee attacks. A swordsman is an excellent class for starters or as an early effective damage dealer. Early on in the game, you will have to focus on quick progression, and for that, you need good damage dealers, and Swordsman is a great choice. The higher-ranked Swordsman is a crusader who is an absolute beast when it comes to damage and attacks. Rest assured, the Swordsman is one of the best classes that you can get in the game.
