Class progression in Ashes of Creation proceeds as follows:[2]
- Players receive skill points as they level. These can be used to level up skills within their skill tree.[7]
- It will not be possible to max all skills in a skill tree.[7]
- A player may choose a secondary archetype when they reach level 25.[2][3] The combination of primary and secondary archetypes is referred to as a class.[3][6][8]
- The secondary archetype does not provide additional skills.[9]
- Secondary archetypes may be changed, but not "on-the-fly".[5][10]
- The player can then augment their primary skills with effects from their secondary archetype.[3][4]
- Class progression does not relate to a player's artisan progression.[11]
- ةيملاعلا ثادحالا do not directly impact class effectiveness but there may be ancillary effects in terms of availability of equipment, enchantments or tattoos.[12]
Classes by archetype combination
With 8 هلثمالا to combine, players may choose from 64 total combinations to create their class.[3][6][8]
Balancing
- Balancing in Ashes of Creation is group focused not based on 1v1 combat.[13][14][15]
- 1v1 matchups will have a rock-paper-scissors dynamic, where one class will be superior to another.[13][15]
- There will be match ups in 1v1s where one class will be superior to another; and that application should be a rock-paper-scissors dynamic. We want there to be counter-play between the different classes... Instead it's going to be a group focused balance, where as long as you have the diversity of classes present, that's going to be an equal level playing field. It's going to be very dependent on skill and strategy.[15] – Steven Sharif
- Balance-wise, there's a number of different interactions mechanically that you have within an ability that you can adjust in order to balance its power. The most most common ones are: Cooldown, Mana consumption, Damage done, Effect status conferred, Promotion of that effect status, Range.[16] – Steven Sharif
- Alpha-1 testing was focused on core functionality rather than combat balance.[17]
- Alpha-2 testing will begin to focus on balancing once populations and encounters have been put in place and are deep in testing.[13][18]
- When we move into Alpha 2 and we have a lot of data that's supporting the use of these particular abilities in combat settings, how often they're used, how often they result in death, what the average damage done by this archetype is comparatively to other damage done by different archetypes: All of that data gets logged and all of that data gets queried in order for us to refine the abilities so that they live in the environment we want them to. Now, that's not to mean that we're going to have a perfect balance across the board between the archetypes. Again, we're taking a rock-paper-scissor approach to balance, which means that some archetypes will do better against other archetypes and vice versa; and we're also not creating an environment where we want to have 1v1 balance. We are focused around group balance. Group composition is important.[13] – Steven Sharif
- The sixty four (64) classes are partitioned into eight primary archetypes. Balancing of active skills only relates to these eight primary archetypes.[14][19]
- Certain secondary archetypes are capable of "bridging the gap" between their counterpart.[23]
- Even though augments do radically change the way your active skills provide you abilities, there's still a primary focus on the base archetype itself and not the 64 whole classes.[14] – Steven Sharif
- Certain archetypes are capable of moving the gap between their counterpart per-se. If I am a Tank archetype and a Mage is my counter, I can take a Mage secondary and bridge the divide slightly; and then move my identity that direction ever so slightly.[23] – Steven Sharif
Class abilities
Primary skills (class abilities) are based on a player's archetype.[27][4]
- A player may choose a secondary archetype when they reach level 25.[2][3] The player can then augment their primary skills with effects from their secondary archetype.[27][2][3][4][28]
- Outside of class-specific skills there may be a subset of universal skills, such as active block and dodge.[29]
- Class skills are not affected by the type of weapon that is equipped.[30]
- Primary skills in Alpha-2 are expected to be very different to those in Alpha-1.[31]

- Bard
- Cleric
- Fighter
- Mage
- Ranger
- Rogue
- Summoner
- Tank
Siege abilities
Group summons are activated by a party leader with that ability in their class kit along with additive components from other classes that are part of the group.[33]
Up to eight players of the same primary archetype can band together to create monumental effects during a siege.[34]
- These are the types of systems that we want to put in place where groups of a single primary archetype can come together to summon these types of effects that play off of what the identity of that archetype is.[34] – Steven Sharif
Changing/switching
Primary
The primary archetype (of a class) cannot be changed.[1]
When players choose their primary class, it’s not just dictating how the next several hundred hours of gameplay will go... It’s only the primary class that cannot be changed. And hey, that’s what alts are for![1]
Secondary
Secondary archetype of a class may be changed, but not "on-the-fly".[35]
- This may be done through a quest system.[36]
- Players will likely need to speak to a NPC in a Village node or above to enable them to change their secondary archetype and skill augments.[37]
The secondary class choice, which comes after some time getting used to the world of Verra, will be more fluid. If you choose the Fighter and the Rogue to make a Shadowblade, but eventually want to try your hand at Summoning to make a Bladecaller, you’ll be able to do so.[1]
We don't want you to be able to change your secondary class or the augments you have applied out in the open. We want you to have to make a conscious choice somewhere at a NPC. The level of node necessary for that particular NPC to be available will likely be either at the Village stage or above. So, if you are far out in the wilderness exploring – and we have no instant teleportation in the world – you need to be conscientious of what your choices are; and not be able to change them on-the-fly.[37] – Steven Sharif
Class trials
There will not be a class trial system in Ashes of Creation.[38]
Racial abilities
Character benefits in Ashes of Creation are tied to that character's background rather than their race.[39][40]
- We want players to have the freedom to choose the race they want to play because they're excited about it, and avoid situations where players feel forced to play a specific race because of gameplay benefits.[41]
- تاقابس are not gender or class locked.[42][43]
- Race likely won't affect the artisan system.[40][44]
- Race does not affect a character's base stats.[45]
- Some classes may work better with certain races but nothing is enforced.[42]
- A player's choice of race will influence their racial augments.[43]
Stat growth
- Stats can be improved based on gear, tattoos, and other enhancements, such as socketed items.[45]
- Players will have significant agency over the allocation of their stat progression.[45]
- Gear has approximately a 40-50% influence on a players overall power in the game.[46]
- Artisan profession does not affect a player's stats.[47]
- Previously it was stated that race "seeds" a player's base stats, then the primary archetype grows the base stats.[48][42][43] Any contribution by the secondary archetype was later removed.[48]
راودا
Ashes of Creation has the traditional trinity of Tank, DPS (damage dealers) and Support (healer or non-healer) roles.[49][50][51]
- We have our eight base archetypes; and the trinity is a pretty strong influence with regards to the eight base classes. However the area in which we actually begin to play with that line between the trinity is in the secondary classes that you can pick. That's where we begin to blend those spaces and allow people a little bit of influence over their role and whether or not they fit perfectly within a particular category within the trinity.[52] – Steven Sharif
- Although traditional roles are present, players should not feel branded by their primary archetype.[50][51]
- Skill augments available through the class system allow characters to be personalized outside of their primary role.[50][51][52]
- Players can also double down on their archetype choice to strengthen their primary role.[50][51]
Weapons and Armor
هحلسالا and armor are not class locked, but certain classes are more efficient with certain types of weapons or armor.[53][54][55][56] Certain abilities require certain items to be equipped.[57]
- Weapons are intended to be somewhat agnostic in the sense that you can find a way for a weapon to be utilized by different classes. Not just the rogue is going to be able to use daggers. Because if you restrict equipment through that, it makes the economy more difficult to have sustainability across the market of items.[56] – Steven Sharif
- Q: We had stated that we were going to allow people to use any class combination, which would be both your archetypes together, being able to use any weapon. Do we see problems that could occur with that, for instance like a bow tank, or an orb tank or things like- will there be some strangeness there, or are there problems that you first are foreseeing in the future?
- A: We're giving a lot of flexibility to the crafters in our game. They get to help define the stat block that a particular item, weapon, or gear has; and that stat block can be relevant to any particular class or archetype combination. So in that sense the idea is, no not to see any strangeness there or not to see any elements that would dissuade a person from that customization perspective.[58] – Steven Sharif
PvX
Ashes of Creation is a PvX game. Players will naturally encounter both pvP and PvE elements.[61][60][62][63] It is unlikely that a player could purely focus on just pvP or just PvE.[60][59][62][63]
- Ashes is a PvX game; and so in that regard, your ability to wholesale disconnect from the PvP elements of the game are likely not going to be entirely successful. Now, does that mean that you can reduce your exposure to PvP? A hundred percent; and there are multiple play paths and progression points that players can elect instead to be more PvE focused, but by the sheer nature of risk-versus-reward, and risk including not being able to predict how other players might impact your gameplay, that is an element of the innate risk that exists in the multiplayer environment of a PvX setting. So, not everybody is going to like that and we accept that; and we're not trying to build a game that everybody is going to like, because everybody it's doing that is not going to be successful, because there're just people with different interests; and you know we accept that and we're very on the nose about what we're trying to achieve. The idea is not to create a gank fest, is not to create a grief fest. That is not what PvX is; and so because of that we have certain mechanisms and systems that govern the way players engage in PvP and the majority of those are opt-in, but there is always that element of risk that's governed by the flagging system. And so, if you're interested in that I would take a look at the Wiki and look up what flagging is, and look up what corruption is. My experience tells me- and my expectations of the system are that they will signal significantly reduce a player's exposure to non-consensual PvP, but that risk is always going to be present to some degree.[61] – Steven Sharif
- A defining principle of Ashes of Creation as a PvX game is that PvE builds the world, and pvP changes the world.[64]
- Around 80% of the content is open-world, where healthy competition is an instigator for player friction; for potential cooperation; for the ability to yield alliances; and the political theater that comes with it. This is an intended part of the PvX game design.[65][66][67][68][69]
- There won't be separate PvE and PvP servers but some servers may be more PvP focused than others.[61][62][70]
- We're very clear with our objective and philosophy on the game and we understand that they may not appeal to everybody. But it is an important reciprocal relationship between the content that's related to PvE and the content that's related to PvP and they feed off of each other. They're catalysts for change: Their progression, their development. It's things that people can value when they see something earned and they see something lost. That elicits an emotional response from the player: That they've invested time in to either succeed or fail; and PvP allows for that element to be introduced into gameplay. And we're very clear that is our objective: That risk versus reward relationship, that achievement-based mentality. Not everybody's going to be a winner and that's okay.[69] – Steven Sharif
- There will not be different PvP and PvE gear types.[72]
Alpha-0
There was no active character creation screen in Alpha-0, but there were several options for players to choose from.[74]
- Four playable archetypes: Cleric, Mage, Ranger, Tank.[75][76]
- Two playable races: Kaelar, Empyrean.[75]
- Gender selection.[75]
