A party consists of 5 heroes, and you can select five heroes to unleash Chain Skills. #### Defense Usually placed in the front of the party, Defense heroes prevent enemies from attacking heroes in the back. Defense-type skills include buffs that increase the defense of the party or debuffs that lower the enemy's attack. #### Attack Attack heroes deal physical melee damage while being positioned at the front of the party. Depending on the hero, there are also magic Attack heroes who deal magic damage. #### Ranger Ranger heroes deal physical ranged attacks and use weapons that boast high attack speed and critical rate. They are placed at the back of the party and are responsible for quickly taking down enemies before they enter ally territory. #### Magic Magic heroes attack enemies using ranged magic attacks. They deal strong AoE damage and inflict status effects on enemies in battle. However, they are quite vulnerable, so placing them at the back of the party is recommended. #### Support Support heroes use ranged buff/debuff skills and can cast status effects on enemies or heal allies. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
