Classes and heroines

Every heroine has a class. The class sets her role, her base Cost and her default skill. Build a line that fits the road in front of you.

The nine classes

Class	Default skill	Base Cost
Herald	Cost Burst: gain Cost, at once or over time	9
Bulwark	Fortify: DEF up, and block +1	17
Skirmisher	Rapid: attack speed up	7
Outrider	Stat Surge: ATK or DEF up for a time	12
Mender	Heal Burst: heals every ally in range	14
Hexer	Control: a stronger slow, or a halt	10
Marksman	Rapid: attack speed up	9
Arcanist	Stat Surge: ATK or DEF up for a time	19
Cantor	Sings: heals the ally in range with the lowest HP, or damages one enemy at a time	13

Base Cost is for a 3-star. Cost generation, the Herald line, is never locked behind the summon. Every class has a free 3-star story unit, so no map is unbeatable for lack of a class.

• Blocking. Melee units on the road block enemies. Ranged units stand on ledges and cannot block.
• Healing. A Mender or a Cantor heals the ally in range with the lowest HP percent, for as much as her own ATK. She never heals herself.
• Flyers. Flying enemies cannot be blocked. Marksmen, Hexers and Cantors can hit them.

Rarity

Heroines come in 1 to 5 stars. Rarity changes the level cap, the Cost and what a heroine can learn.

• Promotion gives a new class name and a higher level cap. Promoting a 5-star makes her a 6-star.
• Ascension needs Promotion and gives a passive. It starts at 4-star. 3-stars do not ascend.
• Copies. Each duplicate takes 1 off a unit's Cost, down to -3.
• Skills are used by hand, or set to auto on the TEAM screen. Skill levels 1 to 5 shorten the cooldown. Level 5 is 80 percent of the base.

Your team

The number of units you can bring grows with your rank: 8, plus half your rank, up to 15. Each map also limits how many units can be on the field at once.
