The Five Classes of Battle of the Immortals

The Bezerker

The Bezerker class is a physical damage dealer. They pride themselves on the high amount of physical damage they can inflict, their medium level of health, and their armor. Their weaknesses come from their low magic resistance and their low evasion. Perfect World Entertainment has described the class as:

Why carry a shield and a sword when I can carry a sword and a sword?

Berzerkers concentrate almost exclusively on causing physical damage.  Berzerkers still wear light armor, which gives them decent defense against physical attacks; however they are extremely susceptible to magical damage.  Usually Berzerkers are found in the middle of a fight, never on its edges.  Several Berzerker skills focus on weakening targets in terms of speed and/or defense.

The Champion

The Champion is a physical damage dealer that prides himself/herself on their extremely high defense. Champions prefer to focus on their defense and only deal a medium amount of attack damage. Their weaknesses lie in their low magic defense and their low evasion. Perfect World Entertainment describes the class as:

The best offense is a good defense.

Focusing almost entirely on defensive ability, Champions suffer slightly in terms of damage.  Most of a Champion’s abilities focus on being in the center of the fight.  Area of effect (AoE) taunts to save your friends from monsters, or even in some cases immobilizing their targets, Champions are invaluable tanks.

The Heretic

Heretics deal both light and dark elemental damage. They have a high magic capability, deal medium magic damage, and have a high magic resistance. Their weakness lies in their low physical defense and a low maximum health. Many of their abilities are used to buff or heal. Perfect World Entertainment describes the class as:

Dealing damage is not the only application for magic.

Heretics come from a long line of religious fanatics.  Once holy men, have now melded dark magic with light magic.  Capable of dealing medium levels of magic damage, Heretics also have the ability to use magic defensively.  Many of their abilities are capable of buffing or healing the caster.  Heretics are a key component to any group encounter, whether it be against monsters or other players.

The Magus

The Magus is a magic class that uses black magic. They wield the power fire and ice elemental damage. The Magus are capable of high magic damage and are one of the more Area of Effect (AoE) skilled classes. Perfect World Entertainment describes the class as:

Why physically lift an object when you can just lift a finger?

Magi are the masters of the elemental magic, utilizing them in order to create destruction and chaos.  Maintaining distance from your enemies is essential in order to be successful as a Magus.  Many of abilities of the Magi focus on crowd control and snaring/immobilizing your opponents, making this task much easier.  Magi are also one of the more area of affect (AoE) focused classes, allowing them to take on multiple monsters at the same time with relative ease.

The Slayer

Slayers can inflict both elemental and physical damage.  Their strength lies in their ability to have a high critical hit rate and a high chance to hit. One of the Slayer’s most effective weapons is their use of poisons. The Slayer’s weakness  lies in their low physical defense and their low maximum health. Perfect World Entertainment describes the class as:

A deep knowledge of anatomy is required in order to kill efficiently.

Slayers spend a large majority of their training focusing on what makes things “tick”.  They then spend an even larger amount of time studying on how to make the “ticking” stop.  Many Slayer abilities utilize poisons and the elements in order to cause a blend of both physical and magical damage.  While being fragile and weak in terms of defense, their offensive ability is almost unmatched.
