DragonSword: Awakening Wiki - Classes
Lute
Knockdown DPS
The protagonist and strongest solo hero — high Knockdown damage with a straightforward, forgiving rotation.
Castella
Ranged ailment setup
An Elf companion and one of Lute's earliest allies, strong at ranged ailment application to set up other heroes' Signal Skills.
Theresia
Technical / Inquisitor
Considered the strongest hero in the current meta, built around toggling between two abilities -- Consecration and Celestial Verdict -- to apply bleed or stun depending on which is active. High skill ceiling: once you learn to switch between the two at the right moments, no other hero matches her output.
Dana
Freeze crowd control
Alchemy-associated hero tied to the Red Fox faction, whose Frost Gauge freeze provides the game's best solo crowd control.
Aria
Shock support
A Shock-application support hero that pairs well with almost any companion in co-op play.
Kalsion
Melee powerhouse
Wields Blaze, a weapon that fires bursts of fire energy dealing damage and raising his own attack power via Flame Wave. Can charge into groups and create shock waves to finish enemies within a radius -- alternative combat modes give him flexibility most melee heroes lack.
Sion
DPS / crowd control
Built around Divine Crash and Divine Smash, both powerful attacks that can inflict shock status. Creates relics with either attack that can be recovered for bonus damage -- a strong pick for teams built around knockdowns.
Charlotte
Stealth assassin
The only hero with a stealth mechanic -- summons a clone to take her place, turns invisible, then detonates the clone for bonus damage. Poison daggers apply an independent damage-over-time effect. Illusion Kick launches enemies airborne and Shadow Grab slams them down.
