In MMORPG games, it is important for players to choose what Class to start with for their game characters. Because each Class has different Skills and Abilities, what they can do and what role they can play in the game are also different.

New World series of games has launched an Archetypes system in the recently updated content New World Aeternum, which aims to use it to provide players with a rich Class selection possibility.

There are 7 Classes for players to choose from in Archetypes System, and each Class can bring players a specific Weapon combination and Class Skills for players to use in Battle. And they can also help players improve Crafting Professions. These will help players accumulate New World Aeternum Coins in the game.

Based on this, we will start with the characteristics of each Class and introduce their basic information to players.

1. Soldier

Whether you are a novice or an old fan of New World series of games, and no matter what type of New World style you like, Soldier will be a Class that suits you very well.

Especially when the player is playing a single-player game, this Class allows the player to use Sword or Hatchet to play a powerful role in Damage Output while effectively Defending against Enemy Attacks for self-Defense.

Besides Combat, Soldier brings benefits to players in Weapon-Making, Mining, and Smelting, allowing players who play this Class to make excellent Weapons.

From an overall perspective, this is a Class that is relatively outstanding in Strength and Agility. In PVP Battles, Soldier can serve as an excellent Tank in Team because it can balance the two aspects of Attack and Defense, especially Defense.

So if you prefer to have reliable Defense in Combat, or don’t mind Blocking Damage for your Teammates, Soldier will be your best choice. Its comprehensiveness also makes it very suitable as a starting Class for new players.

2. Ranger

Ranger is a Class type that can Output long-range Damage in the game, which makes it easy to deal with both PVE and PVP. During Combat, Ranger usually uses Bow or Spear as Weapons.

The former usually allows Ranger to more effectively Lock and Target a single Enemy for effective Attack, or provide some Crowd Control benefits. If Ranger players can use the two Weapons together, they will be more powerful.

And Ranger’s Trading Skills allow players to Hunt animals in the game more quickly and efficiently, thereby Exploring Woodlands. This also means that players can better accumulate Resources for more New World Aeternum Coins. In addition, its Engineering and Woodworking Skills are also helpful for making Tools.

3. Mystic

If you are a player who likes to participate in Team PVP and prefers to be a Team support rather than a direct Battle, then Mystic Class will be your first choice.

Mystic can provide Combat assistance and effective Treatment to Restore Health for his Teammates in Battle, especially for Teams with DPS or Tank Builds, which is very important.

And this Class can also bring some debuffs to Enemies. This is also a powerful Weapon that can play an important role in facing Enemies in Raids and other Team Modes.

4. Destroyer

Destroyer is another excellent Tank-type Class in the game. During Battle, it can provide Heavy Damage to the entire Team by using Hammer and Great Axe. Damage Output is huge, so it can help Team effectively Kill powerful Enemies.

But its Class characteristics also weaken its Speed and Flexibility, making Destroyer slower to return to Defense when Attacking, and not as flexible as Soldier. Therefore, in order to give full play to the power of Destroyer, Team cooperation is very important.

Therefore, in many Teams that conduct Team PVP, there is almost always a Destroyer player to help Team perform Heavy Hits and Control Crowds of Enemies. However, this also means that Destroyer is not suitable for players who like to play single-player games.

5. Occultist

It should be said that Occultist is a Mage-type Class. He uses the power of ice and fire, and uses Fire Staff as a Weapon carrier to cast powerful AOE Damage on Enemy in Battle and bring Crowd Control effects.

This feature allows Occultist to offer more Attack and return time for Teammates by slowing down Enemy when Fighting in a Team. However, since Occultist’s own Defense is weak, single players who want to play this Class may need to have more Defensive Weapons.

However, Fire Staff and Ice Gauntlet are available to this Class both offer Debuffs and DOT Attacks. If combined with the right Skills, Lethality will be more powerful, especially for Team Battles.

In addition, Occultist also provide players with Trade Skill Boosts to support Crafting of mystical Gems and Jewelry. These Items not only allow players to gain some Combat benefits, but can also be exchanged for New World Aeternum Coins.

6. Musketeer

If you want to play this Class, it usually requires high strategic integrity and precision in actual Combat, so not many players choose it. However, if you master the relevant Skills through practice, Musketeer’s upper limit will also be very high.

In Combat, Musketeer can use a combination of long-range Weapon Musket, and a fast Blade for close Combat Rapier. While this combination is powerful, players must be aware of when to rush in for quick Hits with Rapier, and when to back off and utilize Musket.

7. Swordbearer

Swordbearer has a very effective Weapon combination to use in the game, which is Greatsword and Blunderbuss. They allow Swordbearer players to Hit Enemy hard while being Attacked to cause effective Damage.

Although Swordbearer is not suitable for long-range Combat, it can Attack multiple Enemies at the same time in close Combat. Because Greatsword gives AOE Damage from Massive Sweeps of Blade, and Blunderbuss can be devastating at very close range.

The above is an overview of Skills and characteristics of the 7 Classes in New World Aeternum Archetypes System. Hope these contents can help you choose the one that suits you best.
