Those classes can be accessed at the ARKS Lobby after completing the tutorial by speaking to Bhea.
At character creation, characters can select from any of the basic classes except for Fighter, Gunner, and Techter. Deumans can fit into most classes, but will need to play with a bit more caution than humans.Ĭlasses also possess stat multipliers. Males boast the highest MEL, at 107%, and female Deumans tie with female CASTs for highest RNG (105%). Deumans make for great glass cannons, with diminished HP and average defenses but great offensive stats across the board. DeumanĪrtificially created horned humanoids, Deumans (particularly the single-horned men) take some slight inspiration from Japanese oni. Their below-average TEC, however, makes leveling TEC-based classes a bit of a struggle. Their high MEL and RNG, coupled with good HP and DEX, makes them great for a variety of classes and roles. CASTs make for formidable melee and ranged combatants. This incarnation of CASTs comes from sickly humans or Newmans with good Photon aptitude. Newmans possess the lowest average stats overall. This comes at a price, however, meaning that many Newmans get pigeonholed into Tech-based classes. These are the highest multipliers out of any of the races. Both male and female Newmans have below-average HP, but a 108% and 110% boost to TEC, respectively. They're well-suited to the Force and Techter classes. NewmanĮlf-like genetically altered humans. Humans are a great choice if you aren't sure which class you want to play or want to play multiple classes. Humans can fill any class well, thanks to their well-balanced stats. Humans have no particular stat deficiencies and above-average HP growth. Race (Gender) | HP | MEL | RNG | TEC | DEX | MEL-DEF | RNG-DEF | TEC-DEF | Average At the level cap, however, players will have enough supplementary gear to render any statistical disparities moot. The highest stat multipliers for each race/gender combo are in green, with the lowest possible in red. Races and genders can be organized into a simple chart.
Training is available at the mission counters for "practice quests" as well. Resetting skills at this point in time does cost real money. The community has compiled a number of viable builds in a Google Doc. Players can change their class at any point in the ARKS lobby at the class counter, though they will need to level each separately. PP and PP generation is not affected by a character's race or gender. RNG tends to be the same, but female characters also have a slight edge in that department if playing a CAST or Deuman. As a general rule, males have higher MEL and females have higher TEC. Race and gender affects the character's base stats.
