VERSION HISTORY [VER] =============================================================================== Version 1.1.1 (June 19, 2009) ----------------------------- - Added a tip regaring using the Cleric's Appraise ability - Fixed the name of the last Evoker spell Version 1.1 (June 15, 2009) --------------------------- - Added a section on HP Growth Version 1.0 (June 14, 2009) --------------------------- - This guide was started 3. INTRODUCTORY NOTES [INT] =============================================================================== Unlike many RPGs of today, Class of Heroes takes on a different sort of approach to the way that stats are controlled. In most typical RPGs, it is the job of the character that normally governs how stats are distributed, or how players are inclined to set points to stats. In Class of Heroes, the main factor that controls how stats are distributed is the character's race. Each race starts out with its own unique set of stats that more or less control what sort of job players are likely to choose for them, despite how the race may look. For instance, Fairies would most likely be believed to make for the best magicians, but by the rules of the game, it is Agility that Fairies excel most in. Another great example are the Erdgeists. Although their image depicts more of a fighting type of character, giving the thought that they would best make Monks, it is Wisdom and Faith that they actually excel in. Why the producers decided to make things so confusing like this is questionable, but thankfully bonus points available during character creation can help players to shape characters the way that they want them to be (to an extent). The bottom line is, if you're going to try to make the best party possible, you should generally try to give particular jobs to characters of races that have the sort of stats for it to make sense. For example, making a caster out of a Drake would pretty much be a waste of all that Strength and Vitality. Plus, they'd only be able to get a little higher at Wisdom and/or Faith than some races are initially. This guide isn't to inform players which races to put together, it's a guide on each major and race on an individual basis. If you're looking to figure out who to include in the party, please refer to the Affinity guide. 4. RACES -- STATS [RST] =============================================================================== Below is a list of the initial stats that each character race begins with. Remember that these stats can all be increased at least by 10 points through bonus points during the initial creation of them. Affinity levels, explained in the appropriate guide, can further affect these stats to make characters more powerful than they began. However, it needs to be noted that even though 2 characters may be able to obtain the same stats through bonus points, it's still the character's race that governs such things as Max HP. For example, during a test run, I made a Sprite Warrior with an initial Vitality of 15. By the time it was at level 66, it still had under 900 HP. A Drake Warrior with an initial Vitality of 15 surpassed the Sprite's Max HP at level 33. By level 53, the Drake had more than double, and by 66, the Drake had almost 3 times as much HP as the Sprite. It also needs to be noted that during the leveling up process, the Sprite's Vitality dropped to 14. 1 less than it was set to initially. The Drake, on the other hand, had an increase in Vitality to 23, 8 points higher than what was initially set. This test was done without the aid of increasing affinity. STR = Strength WIS = Wisdom FTH = Faith VIT = Vitality AGI = Agility LUK = Luck EVD = Evade STR WIS FTH VIT AGI LUK EVD Human 8 8 8 9 8 9 12 Elf 7 10 10 7 9 8 13 Dwarf 11 6 10 11 6 7 10 Erdgeist 5 14 11 5 5 9 9 Halfling 6 6 5 6 12 14 14 Sprite 5 9 7 5 14 12 18 Felpier 9 7 8 10 12 6 14 Drake 14 5 5 14 6 8 11 Diablon 9 12 8 10 8 7 12 Celestian 7 8 14 7 8 10 12 Below is a chart that lists the general HP growth speeds from fastest to slowest. Although this does correspond well with what you can get from just looking at the chart, it's important to note that it is ultimately the sort of balance to expect by level 99 despite any initial Vitality boosts or choice of majors. Best Drake Dwarf, Diablon Felpier, Human Celestian, Elf, Halfling Worst Sprite, Erdgeist 5. MAJORS -- STATS [MST] =============================================================================== Although character races govern most stats, they do not control all stats. Majors have their own effect on how a character can perform in battle. You will likely notice that different characters have different values of accuracy (the number directly below the characters' HP). Accuracy is controlled firstly by the character's major and can be modified slightly by the equipment that the character uses. Characters of fighting classes naturally have higher values of accuracy, while classes that excel in the art of magic have lower amounts of accuracy. Fighting classes are guaranteed to reach the maximum of 99 accuracy (without equipment), while casters will only reach the mid-40s by level 99. 6. HP GROWTH [HPG] =============================================================================== A thread regarding the "slow" HP growth of the Valkyrie came to my attention. It would appear that HP growth is not solely based on character race as I had first perceived. A couple of quick tests shows that the character's major does indeed play a role in governing a character's HP growth. I ran a test with a team completely made up of Drakes, since their high Vitality makes for the largest range of possible HP gains. I chose a Warrior, Wizard, Devout, Thief, Ranger and Evoker for this test. Below are the results. Test 1 -- Keeping Vitality at its initial position -------------------------------------------------- Lv HP STR WIS FTH VIT AGI LUC ----------------------------------------------- Warrior 1 29 14 5 5 14 6 8 99 5248 27 14 17 27 18 20 ----------------------------------------------- Wizard 1 26 14 12 5 14 6 8 99 4591 27 17 14 27 18 20 ----------------------------------------------- Devout 1 19 14 5 12 14 6 8 99 4797 27 16 17 27 18 20 ----------------------------------------------- Thief 1 29 14 5 5 14 10 12 99 4431 27 16 14 27 17 20 ----------------------------------------------- Ranger 1 21 14 5 5 14 10 12 99 4834 27 17 14 27 18 20 ----------------------------------------------- Evoker 1 20 14 13 13 14 6 13 99 4530 27 17 17 27 18 20 As you can see in this test, the Warrior clearly beats the other classes, which are obviously not fighting classes, at obtaining the highest amount of HP at level 99. What is perhaps a point of greater interest, however, is that despite the stats initially set, all of the stats at level 99 are very close to one another. Now, it's important to note that I did not use this party on the battlefield, which means that their affinity ratings were at the default of 111% (+1% from each of the 5 Drakes, and 3 Drakes were Good while the others were Neutral). What this means is that regardless as to how many Bonus Points you get at the time of creation, every character will inevitably reach a point at which their stats are roughly +10 their initial race stats (disregarding the effects of affinity). It may takes 10s of levels to achieve, but it will happen. Test 2 -- Starting with maximum Vitality ---------------------------------------- Lv HP STR WIS FTH VIT AGI LUC ----------------------------------------------- Warrior 1 28 14 5 5 24 6 8 99 4828 27 17 16 27 18 19 ----------------------------------------------- Wizard 1 31 14 12 5 24 6 8 99 4677 27 17 16 27 18 20 ----------------------------------------------- Devout 1 27 14 5 12 24 6 8 99 4752 27 16 17 27 18 20 ----------------------------------------------- Thief 1 39 14 5 5 24 10 12 99 4795 27 16 17 27 18 20 ----------------------------------------------- Ranger 1 33 14 5 5 24 10 12 99 4728 27 17 17 27 17 18 ----------------------------------------------- Evoker 1 33 14 13 13 24 6 13 99 4554 27 17 17 27 17 20 Looking at this chart and comparing it to the previous chart should raise a lot of suspicion. If the characters are all starting with max Vitality, why are most ending up with less, or roughly the same, HP as when their Vitality was not changed? The randomness of HP gained per level might be one reason for this, but it would require more strenuous amounts of tests to be certain. Notice how this time the amounts of HP are not only lower in many cases, but they are also much closer to one another than previously. Not that there was an extremely huge difference between the HP of the Warrior and the Evoker before anyways (~700 at level 99). Test 3 -- Test 1 and 2 with the Valkyrie ---------------------------------------- For this test, I made 4 Warriors for the extra characters (1 Neutral, 3 Good), since Drakes can take on the major without any added stats. Lv HP STR WIS FTH VIT AGI LUC ----------------------------------------------- Valk1 1 25 14 9 13 14 10 10 99 4954 27 17 17 27 18 20 ----------------------------------------------- Valk2 1 40 14 9 13 24 10 10 99 5212 27 16 17 27 18 20 This test more or less blew the results of Test 1 and Test 2 away. In this test, the Valkyrie that started with maximum Vitality actually did clearly beat the Valkyrie with default Vitality. This, in my opinion, proves that the randomness of HP gains can be quite misleading. In the end, although the character's major may actually have an influence on their HP growth, it's clear that the character's race is much more influential. Now, before you take all of this to mean that casters can never have more HP than fighters, there is something more to note about in regards to HP and how to achieve more. Although it is a very slow process, players have the option of switching the majors of characters. In doing so, the character's level is reset to 1 and their HP is reduced to roughly half of what it used to be. Any magic spells learned will be kept, with the restriction of how many spells in that category the new major can learn. If you're following, this means that you can take a character, level it up to level 99 and switch majors, and you'll wind up with a character that can obtain about 150% of the amount of HP that they originally had at level 99. Keep doing this over and over, and eventually you'll be able to reach about 200% of the HP you were able to reach at level 99 the first time. Take note that 9,999 HP is the maximum, however, HP is stored as 2 separate values (1 of which is a hidden stat), which is why changing the major of a character with 9,999 HP does not necessarily result in a level 1 character with roughly 5,000 HP (you can actually get a level 1 character with about 5,700 HP, for example). 7. MAJORS -- REQUIREMENTS [MRQ] =============================================================================== Just like taking classes in a school, majors require having certain pre-requisites. In the case of Class of Heroes, these are in the form of stats, alignment and sometimes even gender. STR WIS FTH VIT AGI LUK Align Gender Warrior 12 - - - - - Any Any Wizard - 12 - - - - Any Any Devout - - 12 - - - Any Any Thief - - - - 10 12 N/E Any Cleric - 13 13 - - - G/E Any Evoker - 13 13 - - 13 N Any Ranger 12 - - 10 10 12 N/E Any Alchemist 10 13 - 10 - 13 G/E Any Psychicer - 13 13 8 8 14 G/E Any Monk 13 9 12 13 10 9 G/N Any Samurai 12 13 9 12 11 9 G/N Any Valkyrie 14 9 13 14 10 10 N F Paladin 15 10 13 15 10 13 G M Kunoichi 13 11 12 13 15 15 E F Ninja 13 12 11 13 15 15 E M Below is a chart indicating the number of points any particular race would require in order to take on the given major. Hu El Dw Er Ha Sp Fe Dr Di Ce Warrior 4 5 1 7 6 7 3 - 3 5 Wizard 4 2 6 - 6 3 5 7 - 4 Devout 4 2 2 1 7 5 4 7 4 - Thief 5 3 9 8 - - 6 8 7 4 Cleric 10 6 10 2 15 10 11 16 6 5 Evoker 14 11 16 6 15 11 18 21 12 8 Ranger 10 11 10 20 10 12 9 8 10 12 Alchemist 12 14 13 16 15 15 14 13 8 14 Psychicer 15 13 19 13 17 15 19 24 13 10 Monk 16 16 15 22 24 21 16 16 15 15 Samurai 16 16 16 20 23 20 15 18 12 18 Valkyrie 20 20 19 26 27 24 20 18 19 17 Paladin 26 25 25 31 29 28 26 24 24 23 Kunoichi 29 28 28 33 30 27 28 29 26 27 Ninja 29 28 28 32 30 27 28 29 25 32 It may come as a surprise, but the figures in this chart really only indicate how easy it is for a race to take on a major. What it doesn't provide is a way of indicating how well the race can adapt to the major that they are given. Unfortunately, there's more to factors like HP than simply adding extra points into Vitality. The character needs to be of a race that naturally excels in HP growth to gain the sort of HP required to stay alive in the front row. 8. RACES -- SKILLS [RSK] =============================================================================== Certain races have skills that they learn automatically just for being who they are. These skills can sometimes be seen on multiple different races, but there are a few which are unique to specific races. Erdgeists --------- Levitate No harm will be taken from traps on the floor. Protection Protects you from attacks that can instantly kill. Sprite ------ Levitate No harm will be taken from traps on the floor. Drake ----- Breath Deal damage to many foes. Range is based on level. Diablon ------- Breath Deal damage to many foes. Range is based on level. Celestians ---------- Levitate No harm will be taken from traps on the floor. 9. MAJORS -- SKILLS [MSK] =============================================================================== Similar to how some races have their own skills, each major has its own set of skills that can be learned.

MAJORS -- SPELLS [MSP] =============================================================================== There are 4 categories of magic in Class of Heroes and while certain classes learn some of the magic in one or more areas, hybrids often only learn 2 spells from a given category. These hybrids are not constrained to the 2 spells that they learn, however. The spells can be forgotten and new spells can take their place. Below is a chart listing the differt majors and how many spells will be retained when switching majors. These numbers are NOT how many spells in each category the major will learn. Note that the Evoker is the ONLY major that can use summon magic. Once you switch majors, you lose all of your summons. A good plan to get as many spells as possible is to make a Cleric or Psychicer. Once they learn all of the spells (black and white for Cleric, psychic for Psychicer), switch over to the other job and learn all of their spells. In the end, you'll wind up with either a Cleric that can use all white and black spells and 3 psychic spells in every level of magic, or a Psychicer with all psychic spells and 3 black and 3 white spells in every level of magic. After you've got all of the spells, you can go further by switching to any other major, and you'll have whatever major you choose with a wide selection of spells. So you can make a Samurai with 2 black, 1 white and 1 psychic spell in every level of magic. Or a Warrior with 1 spell of each type of magic in every level of magic. Although it's a painstakingly long process, it helps ensure that you have backup healers / casters in case the main one(s) run out of MP.

RACES -- INDIVIDUAL ANALYSIS [RIN] =============================================================================== Humans ------ Humans do not particularly excel in any area, making them highly flexible when it comes to career choices. They obtain a decent amount of HP from level-ups, which makes them a good choice to put in the front row. The downside to Humans is their lack of race skills, meaning that you'll need to carry multiple weapons if you make them into fighters, so that when you encounter ghosts or magical enemies they won't be doing nothing. Elves ----- Elves are another nearly well-rounded class similar to Humans, but with a little more focus in magic stats and slightly lowered Vitality. The lowered Vitality puts Elves on level with Halflings and Celestians in terms of HP growth, making it rather questionable whether or not it's a good idea to put one in the front. Similarly to Humans again, Elves do not have any sort of special abilities to put themselves apart from others. Hybrid classes of physical attacks and magic would make good choices for Elves (e.g. Ranger, Samurai perhaps). Dwarf ----- Dwarves are pretty much what you should expect. They are a powerhouse type of race. They excel primarily in Strength and Vitality, though their high Faith also makes them good choices for healers such as a Devout or Cleric, or even a Paladin or Valkyrie. Erdgeist -------- Despite the way they appear in their portraits, Erdgeists are anything but good choices for use in the front row. Erdgeists start with a low amount of strength and their HP growth is sub-standard for a front row position. You may notice from their stats that they excel in the magic categories (i.e. Faith and Wisdom), making magic-based majors like a Devout, Wizard or Cleric more ideal for them. Their Levitation ability is useful to have since it basically means that they won't take damage from shock tiles. Most other races need to have a spell cast or an item used in order to grant them the ability to levitate over them. Halflings --------- Halflings are great choices when Agility and/or Luck matters to the major desired such as Thieves, Ninjas and Kunoichi. Their generally lower HP growth means that they are quite vulnerable in the front. Sprites ------- Contrary to common belief, Sprites in Class of Heroes do not excel in magic stats so much as they do in Agility and Luck, which makes them good choices for Thieves and other Agility-based majors. Their HP growth is terrible, and thus, they should never get the chance to see the front row of the battlefield. Their magic stats are not so low that they cannot take on magical majors without difficulty however, so the thought of using a Sprite as a Devout, Wizard or Cleric should not be discouraged. Similarly to Erdgeists, Sprites also have the Levitate ability, so shock tiles are no threat to Sprites (Note that there are shock walls though). Felpiers -------- Felpiers gain a fair amount of HP throughout their leveling process, but not nearly as much as Drakes. Their more balanced stats make them ideal choices for hybrid majors such as the Samurai and may even be quite successful for Agility-based majors such as the Ninja and Kunoichi, or even a Thief. Drakes ------ Drakes take on the role of the typical warrior type in Class of Heroes. They excel at Strength and Vitality, but have terrible magic stats (i.e. Faith and Wisdom) and their Agility and Luck are rather poor. Essentially, what this means is with good armour and weapons, Drakes can be a force to be reckoned with. To top it off, they have a Breath ability which helps them get rid of monsters that don't die easily by physical attacks. Diablons -------- Diablons share the same sort of HP growth as Dwarves, making them excellent choices in the front row. Although their initial Vitality is the same as the Felpier, Diablons gain more HP than Felpiers. Their increased Wisdom over Felpiers may make them more suitable characters for offensive magic majors such as Wizards and Samurai. Similarly to Drakes, Diablons also have the Breath ability, which could possibly make Diablons second in line as the best warrior race. Weapons can take care of most monsters, while the Breath ability can take care of magical and ghost type monsters. Celestian --------- Their high Faith makes Celestians the ideal choice for healing majors such as the Devout and the Cleric. Their HP growth is close to that of the Elves and Halflings, which makes them rather questionable for front row usage. 12. MAJORS -- INDIVIDUAL ANALYSIS [MIN] =============================================================================== Warrior ------- Warriors excel in the use of melee weapons. Anything there is to say about the Warrior, you probably already know. They are the backbone of the party and its a very highly recommended idea to have one in your party at least during the beginning when your party is low in level since Warriors are the quickest to level up. Wizard ------ Wizards gets full access to black magic and gets a special ability to increase its effect. Magic is great because, if used properly, it can deal a lot of damage to its targets. At the same time, however, magic usage is highly restrictive. You can only use magic in any level a maximum of 9 times. In other words, you can only cast up to 63 times before you need to recover MP. Another thing to watch out for are Anti-Magic Zones in the dungeons. Anti-Magic Zones make it so that existing spell effects die out prematurely, and also restricts spells from being cast. Devout ------ Devouts are the number one type of healers. Not only do they get full access to white magic, they also learn an ability called MP Stroll, which allows them to recover 1 MP every 100 - Level steps (with a minimum of 10 steps). This ability allows Devouts to keep casting white magic without too much concern for recovery. Thief ----- Thieves are the best at what they do, which is basically any thief-related abilities, such as picking locks, disarming traps and stealing. Thieves are a must have even when considering other jobs that have these abilities. They have them, but they aren't as good at doing them. Cleric ------ Clerics are masters of both white and black magic, but without the bonuses that the Wizard and Devout receive. However, what Clerics do get that the others do not is the ability to appraise items and no major can beat a Cleric at doing so. Clerics are, in my opinion, must haves. The ability to appraise will save millions of gold by the end of the game since everything you find in the dungeons |
