Rank 2 – Bard/Gypsy – Ragnarok Online
What exactly is the Bard/Gypsy? Bards/Gypsies are both unique classes from Ragnarok Online, and we want to introduce you to both of them here. They share 2nd place because they are equally interesting.
Bards are male characters and use music in the MMORPG Ragnarok Online that can evoke fear in enemies. Bards are an advanced class of the Archers.
Gypsies, on the other hand, can evolve from the female Dancer class and use tarot cards that can even kill enemies instantly.
What can they do? Bards sing songs, even duets are possible, where the male bard sings and the dancer dances. These songs lead to buffs for group members and debuffs for enemies.
Gypsies are dangerous fighters. They seduce enemies with enticing dances and use arrows or tarot cards to defeat them. Different cards can be drawn with interesting effects – even instant death is possible.
What makes the Bard/Gypsy so unusual? Being able to defeat opponents through music and duets or dances, as well as tarot cards, is unique and fun. It allows for interesting and exciting play styles.
Bards and Gypsies must always be played very tactically and smartly to effectively utilize their abilities.
Rank 1 – Spiders – City of Heroes
What exactly is a Spider? In the MMORPG City of Heroes, which unfortunately is already dead, it is possible to play as superheroes or supervillains. Spiders belong to the villains and represent a mix of human and spider with superpowers.
What can they do? The Arachnos Soldiers class has a mix of melee and ranged attacks. It is possible to pursue different paths, including Bane and Crab Spider, which have different abilities. Crab Spiders tend to be more offensive, while Bane Spiders attack from ambush.
Spider characters can also summon giant spiders to attack their opponents.
What makes the Spider so unusual? Playing a human-spider hybrid who also summons giant spiders is quite special and unusual. Additionally, you are not the good hero, but a villain seeking to conquer the world.
