At later levels players upgrade and change their classes to more improved versions which changes up strategy and gameplay. The three starting classes are:

Fairy Elf – this support type class can buff her allies and increase offensive capabilities, defenses and is even able to heal party members; some agility focused Elves can focus on quick ranged attacks

Players can unlock the Summoner, Grow Lancer, Magic Gladiator, Dark Lord and Rage Fighter.

EXPLORATION

There are dozens of areas in the game to explore, each location has its own quests and often unique creatures and monsters to battle against, which in turn have their own loot drops to enable players to improve their gear. Areas are completely level locked and players are unable to travel to these locations until reaching the necessary level requirement.

With the release of the Season 11 patch players are now able to visit Ferea, an elemental region divided into five areas (Water, Wind, Fire, Earth and Darkness) where players will be able to fight creatures that revolve around those elements as well as the deadly Lord of Ferea boss.
