The game advertises 91 roles spanning Warrior, Mage, Priest, Archer, Thief, Orc and Elf. Four roots — Warrior, Mage, Priest and Archer — are documented starting options, while Thief, Orc and Elf have extra unlocking steps. Higher-tier roles branch into more specialized approaches to damage, defense and support.
How advanced-class unlocking works
- Open the Class Hall and choose the class you want.
- Check its required Class Hall level and the current task counters.
- Complete the displayed tasks. These may involve defeating specific enemies, class ability use, Duels or crafting.
- Spend the required Class Badge to unlock the class.
- Hire or change class. A subsequent class change can require another badge and Gold, so plan the full cost before spending the first badge.
Community guides associate rank II with Bronze badges, III with Silver, IV with Gold, and V with Diamond. An older guide reports a separate class-change payment; confirm the exact cost in the current Class Hall. The developers revised or reduced several unlock tasks in versions 1.0.3–1.0.6, making some launch-day tables unreliable.
The seven main classes
| ROOT CLASS | AVAILABILITY | GENERAL BUILD DIRECTION |
|---|---|---|
| Warrior | Starter | Frontline and close-range flexibility |
| Mage | Starter | Ranged and elemental damage |
| Priest | Starter | Healing and support |
| Archer | Starter | Ranged damage and gear-based builds |
| Thief | Later unlock | Melee damage and specialized branches |
| Orc | Later unlock | Physical offense and durable builds |
| Elf | Later unlock | Branch-dependent; check skills before choosing |

What should you unlock first?
Pick a class for the job the next run needs. If the frontline collapses, investigate a sturdier Warrior direction before chasing an expensive damage role. If the team already survives, prioritize a damage-oriented branch and compare its exact skills. If the party loses to attrition, inspect Priest support options.
Before committing to a high-rank class, check: Class Hall level, current task text, badge availability, class-change fee, intended team slot and gear requirements. Don't farm a task copied from an older spreadsheet without verifying its counter.
Why some online unlock numbers disagree
Several developers' updates within the first week changed class requirements. Public tables based on October 9 data can still help identify paths, but may overstate kill counts, forge objectives or restrictions. The current game UI is the final source for live unlock numbers.
FAQ
Are there really 91 classes?
The publisher advertises 91 unique roles; a guide should distinguish that total from its own verified-entry count.
Can you change to a lower rank?
The v1.0.6 announcement reported that a former restriction was removed. Check the present Class Hall for the exact behavior.
Where do badges come from?
Community references list Duels, progression rewards and other stage sources. Examine in-game rewards before farming a particular stage.
Can you switch across main-class roots?
Do not assume unrestricted switching. Check the exact class-change options shown for your character.
