Class taxonomy at launch

Melee classes

Frontline classes that anchor Attack Phase clashes on contested hexes.

Ranged classes

Ranged classes that hit from a distance, often behind frontline monsters or knights.

Support classes

Support classes that heal or buff friendly units in adjacent hexes.

Magical classes

Magical classes that amplify Rally actions and Brigandine aura.

Melee classes

Melee classes are frontline classes that anchor Attack Phase clashes on contested hexes. They are typically recruited by Scarlet Will and Pandemyuon Empire. Melee classes scale with the Brigandine artifact growth and are most effective when paired with high-level generals who can Rally them into contested hexes.

Ranged classes

Ranged classes hit from a distance, often behind frontline monsters or knights. They are typically recruited by Gran Dragnica and Alicebell. Ranged classes scale with line-of-sight and elevation; high-ground positioning dramatically increases their effectiveness.

Support classes

Support classes heal or buff friendly units in adjacent hexes. They are typically recruited by Alicebell and Samura Clan Republic. Support classes scale with defensive terrain bonuses and are most effective when paired with elite knights.

Magical classes

Magical classes amplify Rally actions and Brigandine aura. They are typically recruited by Mystiaine and Pandemyuon Empire. Magical classes scale with the Brigandine artifact growth and are best deployed behind a frontline of knights.
