# Hero Ecosystem & Combat Mechanics

Each character begins their journey at 1-Star and fulfills a critical tactical role on the battlefield:

### **Warriors**

Positioned on the frontline for close-quarters combat.

\
Gravorn unleashes a circular energy wave that debuffs enemy attack power, while Tharos executes a violent leap that stuns adversaries.

### **Marksmen**&#x20;

Deployed in the backline to deal devastating ranged damage. Deadeye fires lethal, single-target projectiles, whereas Magmus utilizes piercing fire arrows to inflict Area of Effect (splash) damage.<br>

### **Tanks**&#x20;

The primary protectors boasting superior HP and Defense. Fortis taunts enemies while generating a self-protective shield; TitanX fractures the ground, severely delaying enemy ability cast times.

### **Support**

Essential for team survivability. Auriel provides party-wide continuous health regeneration, while Sanctia cleanses negative status effects (debuffs) and delivers massive burst healing.
