Tribal Grappler - Martial Artists

"Tribal Grapplers use their own fists as weapons. They have high agility similar to Twin Blades and possess high HP. However, their low defense value makes it crucial to pay attention in battle."
— The World R:2 Official Site. —
Grapplerr2.jpgTribal Grappler (拳術士, Kenjutsu-shi) is a class in The World R:2. They are similar to the Knuckle Masters from R:1, using Gauntlets  as their weapons.
Usefulness
This class has the advantage of a very high attack speed, allowing it to achieve normal Rengeki extremely fast, in addition to very high HP. Their defense, however, is very low. They also have a very limited repertoire of arts, having only 2 skills available as of Rebirth.

Weapons

Tribal Grapplers wield light gauntlet type weapons. These can range from lightweight gloves, to oversized, paw-like gauntlets.

List of Skills

In The World R:2, unlike in its predecessor, skills are inherent to a class, not to a weapon. As a player raises his or her job level, he or she will gain access to new abilities. (Names in italics are tentative)
  • 獅子連撃 - Rapid Attack (Target: Unit, Normal, SP Required: 12, Job Lv. 1)
  • 仁王槌 - King Hammer (Target: Unit, Piercing, SP Required: 15, Job Lv. 5)
  • 虎咬転身撃 - Tiger Bite (Target: Unit, Normal, SP Required: 24, Job Lv. 11)
  • 金剛発破掌 - Palm Blast (Target Unit, Piercing, SP Required: 30, Job Lv. 15)
  • - Shell Shock (Target Unit, Piercing, SP Required: 57*, Job Lv. 21)
    • With each Tribal Grappler job level after gaining this art, the SP required will drop as follows: 57,54,51,48,45,42,39,36,33,30.

Macabre Dancers - Twin Blades with Fans

RebirthYata.PNG
"Macabre Dancers are experts at status and ability magic. Since they are allied with both the light and dark spirits, they are proficient in healing and attack magic. They hold large fans in both hands during battle. Their dancing form is said to enchant those who watch. "
— The World R:2 Official Site. —
Macabre Dancer (妖扇士, Yōsen-shi) is a class in The World R:2. A strange class, they wield fan-like weapons. They cut their enemies with the bladed tips of their fans in a battle form that resembles a dance. The inhabitants of The World consider them the "Flowers of the Battlefield".
Usefulness
Macabre Dancers are the expert class for status effects and parameter changes, and are very balanced casters, learning both healing and attack spells. Like Harvest Cleric and Shadow Warlocks, Macabre Dancers gain spells incredibly quickly, at a rate of almost one per job level, but learn no arts.

List of Skills

In The World R:2, unlike in its predecessor, skills are inherent to a class, not to a weapon.
As a player raises his or her job level, he or she will gain access to new abilities. Some spells can be learned by all classes via special, expensive books, but a fair portion of the Macabre Dancer repertoire can only be learned by caster classes. In addition, since items are unusable in Arena battles, casters have an advantage.

Flick Reapers - .Hack's Grim Reaper

"The Flick Reaper specializes in attacks meant to keep multiple enemies away. However, they are ineffective at long range."
— The World R:2 Official Site. —
Keyakidraws.jpgFlick Reaper (鎌闘士, Rentō-shi) is a class in The World R:2 that wields giant scythes. Similar to the Heavy Axemen from The World, Flick Reapers use large weapons such as Axes and Scythes to attack with.
Usefulness
Flick Reapers are very weak to long range attacks. They're the medium range, "area attack" class. They "flick" multiple enemies and push them away before they can get close enough for melee attacks, but a good Steam Gunner or Lord Partizan could overpower them by attacking from afar.

List of Skills

In The World R:2, unlike in its predecessor, skills are inherent to a class, not to a weapon. As a player raises his or her job level, he or she will gain access to new abilities. (Names in italics are tentative)
  • 環伐 - Wicked Strike (Target: Area, Normal, SP required: 15, Job Lv. 1)
  • 天葬蓮華 - Lotus Flower (Target: Area, Aerial, SP required: 18, Job Lv. 6)
  • 環伐弐閃 - Reaper's Touch (Target: Area, Normal, SP required: 32, Job Lv. 12)
  • 蒼天大車輪 - Heavenly Wheel (Target: Area, Aerial, SP required: 40, Job Lv. 16)
  • 環伐乱絶閃 - Reapers Dance (Lv.3 Art, Target: Area, Normal, SP required: 66*, Job Lv. 21)
*With each Flick Reaper job level after gaining this art, the required SP will drop as follows: 66,63,59,56,52,49,45,42,38,35.

Lord Partizan - The Wielder of the Lance


"Lord Partizans wield a giant lance. No other class can match its piercing power. They have high defensive power compared to other classes, but are weaker against magic."
— The World R:2 Official Site. —
Lord Partizan (重槍士, Jūsō-shi) is a class in The World R:2. They are similar to the Long Arms from R:1.
Usefulness
Lord Partizans have good medium range attacks, but don't excel at "sweeping" attacks like Flick Reaper. Their defense and physical attack stats are very high, with magical attack being their only real weakness. They're also more monster-oriented, with a lot of good armor-piercing and anti-air weapons and skills. Their skill progression for low levels is also among the lowest. Overall, this class can cause the most immediate damage.

List of Skills

In The World R:2, unlike in the predecessor, skills are inherent to a class, not to a weapon. As a player raises his or her job level, he or she will gain access to new abilities.
  • 穿天衝 - Air Raid (Target: Unit, Aerial, SP: 15, Job Lv. 1)
  • 刺々舞 - Thorn Dance (Target: Unit, Piercing, SP: 18, Job Lv. 5)
  • 崩天裂衝 - Piercing Heaven (Target: Unit, Aerial, SP: 32, Job Lv. 11)
  • 緋々威 - Scarlet Thrust (Target: Area, Piercing, SP: 38, Job Lv. 15)
  • 滅天怒髪衝 - Heavenly Rage (Lv.3 Art, Target: Area, Aerial, SP: 57*, Job Lv. 21)
  • With each Lord Partizan job level after gaining this art, the required SP will drop as follows: 57,54,51,48,45,42,39,36,33,30.

Steam Gunner


"They specialize in long-range attack and are weak against close encounters, but if necessary their guns can be used as powerful melee weapons which keep most enemies away."
— The World R:2 Official Site. —
Steam Gunner (銃戦士, Jū Sen-shi) is a class in The World R:2 Steam Gunners use steam-powered bayonets developed by humans to attack.

Usefulness

Steam Gunners are the physical equivalent of Shadow Warlocks. Their shots are skills that operate exactly the same way spells do, but deal physical damage instead. Steam Gunners' shots have greater range than any other physical hit, and their physical attack stat has the fastest progression of any class (as of Rebirth). In exchange, their melee hits take the same penalty as those of the other "caster" classes in R:2 in that they lack any of the special types (i.e. "rapid attacks", "hold and release") that most classes have access to.

List of Skills

In The World R:2, unlike in its predecessor, skills are inherent to a class, not to a weapon. As a player raises his or her job level, he or she will gain access to new abilities.
  • 刺突散弾 - Thorn Shot (Target: Area, Normal, SP required: 15, Job Lv. 1)
  • 雷光閃弾 - Thunder Spark (Target: Unit, Piercing, SP required: 22, Job Lv. 4)
  • 撥球弾 - Plectra Bullet (Target: Area, Aerial, SP required: 18, Job Lv. 7)
  • 轟雷爆閃弾 - Tempest Blast (Target: Area, Piercing, SP required: 40, Job Lv. 12)
  • 烈球繰弾 - Sphere Bullet (Target: Area, Aerial, SP required: 36, Job Lv. 16)
  • 塵球至煉弾 - Dust Bullet (Lv.3 Art, Target: Area, Aerial, SP required: 66*, Job Lv. 21)
  • With each Steam Gunner job level after gaining this art, the required SP will drop as follows: 66,63,59,56,52,49,45,42,38,35.

Shadow Warlocks - Master of the Arcane Arts


"Shadow Warlocks are experts in attack magic and are allied with the dark spirits. They always carry a book of spells known as a Grimoires to heighten their magic power. Although they can use some healing magic, their repertoire is limited and not very efficient."
— The World R:2 Official Site. —
Shadow Warlock (魔導士, Madō-shi) is a class within The World R:2. Both Shadow Warlocks and Harvest Cleric are considered spinoffs of The World's Wavemaster class.
Usefulness
Their favored weapons are Grimoires, which give bonuses to their magic and elemental stats, and can be used in melee combat, although with very little effect. Shadow Warlock tomes give a much higher magic bonus and have a much lower physical attack than Harvest Cleric staves, though the elemental bonuses are around the same. Like bayonets, neither staves nor grimoires have special types (i.e. "Rapid Attacks", "Hold and Release") for melee combat. Like Macabre Dancers and Harvest Cleric, Shadow Warlocks gain spells very quickly, at a rate of almost one per job level, but learn no arts.

List of Skills

In The World R:2, unlike in its predecessor, skills are inherent to a class, not to a weapon. As a player raises his or her job level, he or she will gain access to new abilities. Some attack spells can be learned by all classes via special, expensive books, but a fair portion of the Shadow Warlock repertoire is unique. (Names in italics are tentative)
