The MMORPG Astellia relies on a Holy Trinity consisting of five classes. We would like to introduce you to these classes and their special properties.
“What can the individual classes do and which classes should I play?” This question occupies many players when they dive into a new MMORPG.
In this article, we would like to introduce you to the five playable classes of Astellia and their roles in the game in more detail. We also provide an overview of the general skills and useful attributes of the classes. For a better understanding of the attributes, our guide is recommended.
Warrior – The Tank in the Dungeons
What can the Warrior do? Warriors are melee fighters equipped with sword and shield. They can take a lot of damage and also deal good damage with their sword.
They also possess some shield skills that can control opponents by knocking them down or stunning them.
How difficult is it to play the Warrior? Due to their high defense, Warriors are very easy to play and level up in the open world. During the leveling phase, you will gain some skills that directly target multiple enemies.
You can use these skills to attack and eliminate multiple enemies at once. This saves time and allows you to level up almost as quickly as damage dealers.
Healing Astels are useful for this strategy to keep you alive.
What attributes are important for the Warrior? In the open world, you should focus mainly on damage in the form of Physical Attack and Precision. For the attributes, you should focus on Strength and Agility.
As a Tank in the dungeons, you will later focus on Constitution, which gives you more health points and defense. The defense values will then also play a larger role.
Which Astels are useful in the open world? In the early phase, especially attack and healing Astels will help you. Right from the start, you will get Cygnus, which is very useful in the first levels.
However, you can do without Rota or Tentrinio, which you will also receive early in the game, as you can easily deal with the damage from enemies and don’t need an additional tank.
Later, you can look forward to Draco, with whom you can execute a combo attack that deals damage to all targets and knocks them down.
What is the role of the Warrior in the endgame? In dungeons, Warriors primarily take on the role of the tank. They use skills like Taunt or Bind, generating a lot of threat and keeping enemies focused on them.
In the PvP area Avalon, you stand at the front as part of a group and absorb the first incoming damage. Your goal is to protect your damage dealers from incoming damage.
Sagittarius – High Damage with Bow and Arrow
What can the Sagittarius do? The Sagittarius is an archer and fights with bow and arrow. His focus is on dealing damage while avoiding contact with enemies.
To keep enemies at bay, he can slow them down and then swiftly eliminate them with powerful attacks. He also has several skills that allow him to move backward away from enemies.
How difficult is it to play the Sagittarius? The Sagittarius is somewhat harder to play than the Warrior, but still belongs to the easier classes.
He has quite a few skills that can be used while moving or that change his position, making him much more mobile than a Mage.
What attributes are important for the Sagittarius? The Sagittarius focuses entirely on dealing damage to enemies. Therefore, Strength and Agility are important attributes.
Agility also increases the chance to dodge enemy attacks. If the Sagittarius is forced into melee combat, this can help him survive a bit longer.
On your equipment, prioritize physical attack, physical precision, critical attack, and critical precision.
Which Astels are useful in the open world? For the open world, at least one tank-Astel is definitely recommended. In the beginning, this will be Rota, which will later be replaced by Tetrinio and Virgo. Both can hold enemy aggro much better.
You can also use additional damage-Astels, such as Corvus or Pisces. You should always have a healer in your back pocket.
What is the role of the Sagittarius in the endgame? In dungeons and in the PvP area Avalon, the role of the Sagittarius is to deal targeted damage to an enemy.
The AoE attacks of the archer are relatively weak and should only be used against larger groups of enemies.
Mage – High Burst Damage, Low Health
What can the Mage do? Mages are masters of the elements and focus on casting spells. He specializes in AoE attacks and can slow down enemies with skills like Blizzard.
The Mage uses a staff as a weapon.
How difficult is it to play the Mage? Mages are the second toughest class in Astellia, mainly because they die very quickly if no Astel is tanking for them.
However, they can deal a lot of damage, and they can frequently target multiple enemies. This often leads to pulling many enemies, which usually turns out to be a mistake. In dungeons, paired with a tank, AoE skills are extremely useful.
What attributes are important for the Mage? Mages focus entirely on spell damage. Therefore, you should improve the attributes Intelligence and Wisdom.
In your gear, focus on magic attack, magic precision, critical attack, and critical precision.
Which Astels are useful in the open world? As a Mage, you first need a tank at the frontline, similar to the Sagittarius. Here, Rota and later Tetrinio and Virgo are recommended.
Additionally, there are many combo attacks that you can perform with other Mage-Astels. With Sirius, for example, you can execute a very powerful AoE attack together, which is also important in the endgame.
What is the role of the Mage in the endgame? In the endgame, you are primarily responsible for dealing damage as a Mage. Unlike the Sagittarius and Assassin, you can directly target multiple enemies. However, you need to ensure that the Warrior can hold the aggro of all targets.
In Avalon, you tend to stay in the background during larger battles and try to deal damage from there. In 1-on-1 situations, you will find it particularly difficult against Assassins.
Assassin – Quick Melee Assassin
What can the Assassin do? Assassins are melee fighters equipped with two daggers. Their goal is to deal damage as quickly and as much as possible.
They use skills like Shadow Dance, allowing them to teleport to enemies. Additionally, the Assassin’s attacks cause bleeding and poison, dealing damage to enemies over time.
They also possess a unique resource called Edge, which is consumed to enhance certain attacks.
How difficult is it to play the Assassin? The Assassin is extremely easy to play in the early levels because he can defeat almost all enemies instantly. However, it becomes harder over time as the enemies get stronger and you withstand very little damage yourself.
Since Assassins need to position themselves behind the enemies to deal extra damage, proper positioning comes into play. This is further complicated by the fact that no tank-Astel can hold aggro due to the damage.
What attributes are important for the Assassin? Assassins aim to deal damage as quickly and as much as possible. Therefore, they focus on Strength and Agility.
In your gear, you should increase Physical Attack, Critical Hit Chance, and Critical Damage.
Which Astels are useful in the open world? Assassins enjoy collaborating with other Assassins. As you progress, you will encounter Link, with whom you will execute a Shadow Step followed by two attacks. There are also combo attacks with the Assassins Serpens.
Healing Astels are also useful because they can keep Assassins alive. You can do without tanks like Tetrinio because they cannot hold aggro.
What is the role of the Assassin in the endgame? In the endgame, Assassins are primarily responsible for dealing damage. In dungeons, they try to position themselves behind enemies.
In Avalon, it is best for them to move separately from the group and choose individual targets to swiftly eliminate.
Scholar – Healer and Buffer
What can the Scholar do? The Scholar is a typical healer class that also receives some damage abilities for the open world. As a weapon, Scholars use a staff.
In addition to healing and damage, Scholars also focus on hindering enemies in combat. They can hold enemies with Holy Binding or slam them to the ground with Divine Blast.
Only Scholars have the capability to resurrect allies with Resurrection or Mass Resurrection.
How difficult is it to play the Scholar? The Scholar is not difficult to play in the open world, but it is very slow-paced. Fights against monsters take significantly longer than with Assassins or Mages.
All abilities are also easy to understand in their functions.
What attributes are important for the Scholar? Scholars place a lot of emphasis on healing in the endgame, for which they need spell power. They obtain this through the attribute Willpower. Additionally, Knowledge gives you extra mana and a chance for critical healing. However, you should first improve Intelligence and Wisdom.
In the attributes themselves, also focus on magic attack and magic precision, at least while leveling. Later, spell power will play a larger role.
Which Astels are useful in the open world? In the open world, you should use Astels that deal damage for you or tank enemies. You will then ensure that they stay alive.
However, there are also interesting combinations with healing Astels, which can become particularly interesting in legendary dungeons. For example, Kitsune modifies the skill Divine Shield so that it not only provides a barrier but also heals over time.
What is the role of the Scholar in the endgame? In the endgame, as a Scholar, you take on the role of a classic healer. It is important that you can only actively heal group members.
In Avalon, this is somewhat more difficult because not all players are always part of your group. However, you will mainly focus on healing and resurrecting teammates.
