Arena features 18 distinct classes, broadly categorized into Warrior, Mage, and Rogue archetypes, with hybrid classes combining elements. Warriors (e.g., Knight, Barbarian) focus on melee combat, heavy armor, and high health. Mages (e.g., Sorcerer, Battlemage) specialize in spellcasting, with high Intelligence and access to various spell schools. Rogues (e.g., Thief, Assassin) excel in stealth, agility, and often use light armor and ranged weapons. Hybrid classes like the Spellsword or Nightblade offer versatility but require a more balanced approach to attribute distribution. Your class choice dictates your starting equipment, spell access, and skill proficiencies.
