[SIZE="5"]“Linkerâ€[/SIZE] either links characters together or monsters together
The monsters that are linked together will receive damages or de-buffs simultaneously. These monsters can be pulled and gathered at one place to help other players to attack them easier. When Linker links allies together, the effects from potions or buffs can be shared each other and the damages received by monsters can be reduced.

[SIZE="5"]“Psychokinoâ€[/SIZE] is a class which uses psychokinesis for its skills.
It can attack the monsters directly using psychokinesis or it can pull and align the monsters in one line. This skill will be very useful when playing in a party. It can also use “telekinesis†to change monsters’ locations and it can make monsters to collide each other to inflict damages on them.

[SIZE="5"]â€Necromancer†[/SIZE]is a class which collects the dead bodies of the monsters.
The dead bodies will be stored in “Necronomicon†and they will be used for various skills of necromancy. It can form a protective shell or attack monsters using the dead bodies. Among different boss monster cards, beast-type boss cards can be inserted on “Necronomicon†and this card will influence AI, stats, and the appearance of “Shoggoth†when it gets summoned.

[SIZE="5"]“Sadhuâ€[/SIZE] can use out-of-body skills.
Even though, the spirit, which gets alienated from its body, can’t move far away from its body, it can move rather fast within the possible radius. The body without the spirit becomes more vulnerable and receives greater damages when it gets attacked from the monsters. If you explode the spirit yourself, then strong damages will be dealt on many monsters.

[SIZE="5"]“Cataphractâ€[/SIZE] is a cavalry class which is specialized in breaking through a group of monsters or barriers.
Its attacks can reach long ranges and it is useful in facing multiple enemies. When Cataphract is mounted, its attacks become stronger. It can use skills while it is moving which is very unique for Swordsman type classes.

[SIZE="5"]“Chronomancerâ€[/SIZE] is a class which controls time.
It can increase movement speed, and it can also temporarily increase attack speed as well. It can stop the enemies’ movement and it even restores the time back to a few seconds so that the environment around you are the way they were when they were a few seconds back.

[SIZE="5"]“Quarrel Shooter†[/SIZE]is a class which is specialized in using crossbows.
When it uses a one-hand bow, it can either use a sub-weapon or a shield on the other hand so that defense which is the archer’s critical weakness can be enhanced. When it uses a Pavise, which is a shield that can be deployed in the ground, it can protect enemies’ long range attacks so more strategic battles are possible.

[SIZE="5"]“Bokorâ€[/SIZE] is a class which uses Voodoo skills.
It can either attack a monster that it chose as a target from long ranges or it can curse the monsters so that they can turn into zombies. Zombies attack the other monsters that also turn into zombies. Zombies are very slow and they are hard to control so by placing Veves which summon Lwas, you can help those zombies and order collective commands to the zombies.

[SIZE="5"]“Thaumaturgeâ€[/SIZE] is a class which can change attributes.
Monsters’ traps can be used as if they are yours, and you can either shrink or enlarge enemies’ sizes. Some of the skills of the other classes get influenced by the sizes of the enemies so if you use this skill cleverly, then you will change the outcome of the battles.
You can also enlarge specific parts of your character’s body. For example, if you enlarge the hand which is equipped with a weapon, then attack stats will increase. If you enlarge the hand which is equipped with a shield, then defense stats will increase.

[SIZE="5"]“Archerâ€[/SIZE] is a basic class in archer-type classes.
Arrow’s attack power will vary depending on the character’s distance from the enemies. If you change the stance of your character, then you won’t be able to move, but then the effective attack range will increase.
If the monsters get attacked by a strong arrow attack, sometimes they will be hooked together and as a result you can attack these monsters easily as if you are handing just one monster.
Archer can move while it is attacking the monsters so it is useful when you are in battle with boss monsters or the monsters that are big.

[SIZE="5"]“Pyromancerâ€[/SIZE] is a class which uses fire magic.
Fire attacks inflict continuous damages on monsters so it is useful to use this class when you are facing multiple enemies. “Fire Wallâ€, which you can place it on the ground, can be used using directional keys when you draw a wall on the ground while casting this skill.
“Fireball†can be moved around by attacking it directly from short ranges so it will be useful in many ways when you are in party.

[SIZE="5"]“Centurionâ€[/SIZE] class can order commands to other characters.
If players participate “Formationâ€, then the characters’ control will be controlled by Centurion until they go out of Formation. Formation can be changed into various types depending on various situations and each type of formation has its own unique characteristic.
For example, “Winged Formation†which surrounds the enemies and concentrate on firing on those enemies, is effective when you are facing with a huge boss, and “Phalanx†which temporarily gathers all Blocking stats to the players in the first row is effective when you are facing with multiple enemies at once.[/SPOILER]
