More Class Factions, From Wuxia to the Void

The class roster keeps growing across ten factions — wuxia, steampunk, Norse, Egyptian, Greek, deep sea, void-tech, xianxia — each with its own skill tree.

Switching class here is not switching a portrait. Each class brings its own skill tree, a signature resource mechanic, a restricted weapon list and one endgame signature weapon.

The factions

The roster spans the western basics plus wuxia sects, steampunk, Japanese, Norse, Egyptian, Greek, deep-sea, void-tech and xianxia lines. Six starters — Fighter, Barbarian, Rogue, Ranger, Wizard and Cleric — are free forever; the rest unlock free by finishing their season trial, or with gems if you would rather skip the trial.

Three things every class has

• A resource mechanic. The Fighter builds Momentum off consecutive hits, the Barbarian stacks Rage the longer a fight runs, the Rogue stacks Openings until a guaranteed crit and executes low-health targets, the Wizard charges Arcane until the basic attack overloads. The full-stack payoff is the class identity.
• Weapon restrictions and mastery. Each class equips only its own weapon families, and its skill tree carries a Weapon Mastery passive that adds damage when you use the right one. Loot you cannot equip is still worth carrying out to sell or list on the exchange.
• Stances. Some classes — Samurai, Wudang, Iron Palm — carry a stance system you toggle mid-fight to change attack shape and passive bias.

Full stat lines, skill trees and signature weapons are in the class codex; once a playstyle clicks, builds and skill points covers how to spend the points.
