Class reference

The Alpha Advanced Combat System starts with Adventurer, then branches into five main classes. Each branch below has two first specializations, four second specializations, and eight final specializations.

These are the current in-game catalog descriptions, not exact damage or cooldown promises. Alpha balance can change. Use the profile and trainer menus for your current level, costs, weapon affinities, and trial requirements. Foundation skills below govern progression; weapon affinities can differ.

Adventurer​

Adventurer uses Armor and Swords as foundation skills, Stamina as its resource, and accepts every weapon affinity. Its abilities are Dodge (short dash along your aim), Quick Strike (one melee foe), and Second Wind (small self-heal). Its passive reduces damage taken by 5%.

Master Adventurer through level 10 before a main class trial. Every later form also requires the parent progression, its foundation skills, and its own trial. The 31/61/91 labels below identify specialization bands, not permission to skip those requirements.
