FAQ

Eight: Gladiator, Templar, Assassin, Ranger, Sorcerer, Spiritmaster, Cleric and Chanter, covering tank, melee and ranged DPS, magic DPS, healer and hybrid support roles.
Not at launch. Brawler joined the Korean version in July 2026, and NC has not announced its global arrival — the launch roster is the classic eight.
On KR/TW meta data, Gladiator and Assassin headline the ladder and Cleric is the safest pick that every group wants. But class balance shifts with patches, and the honest answer for a main is the class whose playstyle you will still enjoy in month three.
No — class is fixed per character. Rerolling means releveling, which is why the launch-month advice is to spend your first evening trying two or three classes to level ten before committing.
Gladiator is the classic recommendation: durable, forgiving of mistakes and effective in every content type. Cleric earns instant group invites while teaching you the game's encounter design from the healer's seat.
