Suggestions for Selecting your First Archetype
Any choice can be fun, so don’t stress over it. Just choose something that sounds fun and roll with it.
If you want a
melee damage dealer
try a
Brawler
to run in and stab or slash enemies to death
If you prefer to
blast enemies at range
choose a
Devastator
who can also do a bit of healing or buffing
If you want to
heal and buff your team
we recommend the
Support
archetype. But to play solo, a Devastator might work better.
If you want to
taunt enemies
choose
Tanker
But to play solo, choose Brawler. You’ll do more damage and still be pretty tough.
If you have
transferable skills from other games
consider a
Controller
This skill class has low damage, high buff, or high debuff and optional fighting pets
Video Tutorials

About the Story
The Origin of
Dust
The ship’s engines occasionally release Unobtanium particles into the air, and the Arch maintains an energy field that gathers these loose particles. Unobtanium particles, commonly called Dust, are the main currency aboard the FHS Justice, and throughout much of the galaxy.

Sword Blossom?
Sword Blossom was a young hero with a passion for engineering. She saw the great importance of keeping the ship’s massive generators and complicated systems running smoothly. She has been battling the Prometheans ever since and has risen to the rank of Chief Engineer.
Who are the
Prometheans?
Prometheans are evil cyborgs created from kidnapped humans by “improving” them with cybernetic implants and evil magic. The soul of the human is destroyed but his abilities are retained. The first Prometheans were created by Dr. HR Cornish to counterbalance the extraordinary abilities of superheroes.
