Classes

9 classes inspired by RAN Online — stat builds, weapons, school factions.

Class roster and core mechanics confirmed via Facebook trading posts and official community. Specific talent nodes / ability lists pending datamine or in-game screenshots.

By Role

🛡️

Tank

Frontline, aggro management, mitigation. Swordsman POW/VIT is the closest to a pure tank.

✚

Healer

Sustain, group utility, resurrection. Shaman FS (Full Support) is the only dedicated healer.

⚔️

DPS

Melee, ranged, and magical damage dealers. Most classes fit here.

✨

Support / CC

Buffs, debuffs, crowd control. Magician and Shaper specialize in push/pull CC.

Swordsman: Most popular class. INT build = magic melee hybrid, very strong PvE.

Archer: Strong ranged DPS. DEX build is primary. Skills: Double Strafe, Owl's Eye, Vulture's Eye, Arrow Shower.

Shaman: Only dedicated healer. Full Support (FS) build is always in demand. Tribuild variant can farm.

Brawler: Melee PvP specialist. POW build is standard.

Gunner: Ranged physical/magic hybrid. INT build popular.

Assassin: Melee burst DPS. Less community documentation.

Extreme (REBOOT): Reworked legacy class. Newly rebalanced, meta data sparse.

Magician: Pure magic DPS with push/pull CC mechanics. Newer addition.

Shaper: Utility/CC class. Newest addition, minimal community data.

Schools (Factions)

Three PvP factions — pick at character creation. Determines Fortress War allegiance and starting zone.

Mystic Peak (MP)

Commonly referenced for support/INT builds.

Sacred Gate (SG)

Common for physical DPS builds.

Phoenix (PHX / PNX)

Third faction. School Change Cards exist (premium).

Stat System

Build diversity comes from stat allocation — there are no traditional spec trees. Players allocate points across 7 stats on level-up.

STR

Physical melee damage.

DEX

Accuracy, ranged damage, evasion.

INT

Magic damage, MP. Popular on Swordsman (magic melee hybrid).

POW

Physical power, critical hits.

VIT

HP, defense. Tank build core.

AGI

Attack speed, evasion.

LUK

Critical rate, item drop rate.

Build archetype = primary stat allocation. Examples: SM INT (magic melee), SH FS (Full Support healer), BR POW (raw physical Brawler). Tribuild = 3 stats spread.
