Needless to say, each character has its own basic characteristics. Barbarians with good physique will perform close-range whirlwind cuts, while soft-skinned warlocks or hound masters can attack from a distance. Players in the initial demo version can only unlock these 3. role.
However, the character’s initial attack skills have little effect on your survival conditions, because players who are familiar with this type of game know that the key to survival is to see what skills you have when you level up.
In the game, players can choose 1 of 3 skills following leveling up, and the skills are divided into white, green, blue, purple, orange and other grades.
