Archer

Sniper
- The Level 20 advancement class for Bowmen.
Airman
- Available to Diego Renault, Kira Wulfstan, Amon, and Darius.
An advancement class path for Archers. While possessing good attack and defense, their real strength is their unparalleled mobility.

Hawknight
- A Level 10 advancement class for Archers.
Sky Lord
- The Level 20 advancement class for Hawknights.
Mage

Priest

An advancement class path for Healers. This magic class focuses on supporting allies with healing and buffing spells, although at higher levels they can cast offensive magic as well.
