Subclasses

In addition to belonging to factions, Mercenaries now have another unique feature - their own Subclass! This is a new sub-category of class that allows for more fine-tuned customization of units abilities.

Currently, all Mercenaries in the game are divided into three subclasses: Fighters, Sentinels, and Replicas. Information about which Subclass a Mercenary belongs to can be found on the Mercenary screen under their name:

Let's take a closer look at each of the subclasses!

Fighters

These are aggressive Mercenaries who typically rely on their Attack stat and have a smaller Health pool. For example, Blanche, LoLa, and Sixtine are Fighters:

Sentinels

Characters of this subclass act as protectors. They possess a large amount of Health or have abilities that can restore it quickly. Dominica, Morana, and Thora, for instance, are Sentinels:

Replicas

These are mercenaries who do not rely on their own strength in battle. Instead, they prefer to summon useful units or support other characters on the field. Examples of Replicas include Mitsuki, Zoe & Chloe, or Hannah:

Important Changes

In addition to the class system, the update has introduced another change to battle balance. The passive abilities of SR Androids no longer work with Mercenaries of the Replica subclass. The other subclasses are unaffected by these changes.
