Character FAQs-2.1 ClassWarrior, Ranger, Cleric, Wizard & Shadow Knight-Q: Hello, I am a newbie. Which class is the best for newbies?-A: Same as all other RPGS, the (barbarian) warrior is the simplest.Yet since the game is rather simple, none of the classes are too hardfor a newbie.Q: Which class is the most powerful?-A: The consensus is the barbarian warrior. The ranger also deliversgreat damages. The wizard is powerful in tight dungeons, facing swarmsof enemies, but a little inefficient on bosses.Q: Which class is the weakest?-A: The consensus is the shadow knight, who is a jack of all trades.All small wizards are very weak. Wizards during boss fights might alsofeel powerless due to their low damage output rate.
Nothing to worry,with a little patience and knowledge (by reading the enemy FAQs, section4), you can solo through the most difficult level with any class.Q: Which class combination is good for multi-player game?-A: A poor MP game happens when someone feels left-out, under-powered,and therefore useless. It happens frequently with the wizard users.Most MP games take place in low levels, where wizard struggles morethan other classes with its low damage output and HP. Also, a wizardworks rather independent of equipment. Wizard's feeling of uselessnessis especially strong when accompanied by warriors or rangers with niceequipment. If the warrior and ranger owns crappy equipment, then thegame should be more balanced.All other combinations should work well. Wizard-wizard might be veryinteresting and skill-dependent.Q: Is there any unlockable character?-A: I have never heard of any.-2.2 AttributeStrength, Intelligence, Dexerity, Stamina-Q: Where should I put my attribute points? I am a (class name).-A: So far, the consensus is:Barbarian, Cleric, Shadow Knight: All into STRRanger: All into DEXWizard: All into INTFeel free to distribute your points otherwise.
They only make adifference at very low levels.
