Greetings, Saviors!

Rank 8 Classes IRL is to describe the history and concept of Rank 8 's classes and how we could be inspired.

Hope our saviors to be interested in each class and play throughout reading it.

Which one is the best class for our saviors?

Murmillo – Swordsman

Murmillo is a subset of Gladiator. Murmillos adapted the Roman standard army equipment (i.e a short sword ‘gladius’ as weapons and a rectangular shield ‘scutum’) The term ‘Murmillo’ is derived from the fish-like helmet (Cassis Crista) and the fish scale-like armor they wore. In the game, Murmillos wear their iconic helmet and bravely engage in combat.

Lancer – Swordsman

Lancers appear frequently in medieval battles. They wielded long jousting spears and charged towards the enemy line, destroying their formation. Fun fact! Lancers have been in the history of warfare as far back as 400 BCE and persisted until the Great War. According to some reports, in Poland lancers fought until 1934. In TOS, Lancers are a companion-riding, dual-hand spear wielding fierce PVP class.

Sage – Wizard

In various works of fantasy fiction, a sage is a not uncommon name to hear. The word is used to refer to someone who is wise and achieved great knowledge. In most RPGs, they are the top wizards. In TOS, Sages are the ones who attained the understanding of the universal principle through knowledge. They can manipulate dimensions. The class is best known for its incredible Missile Hole skill, the zenith of supportive skills.

Enchanter – Wizard

In most other games, enchanters are NPC classes. The actual meaning of the word is more akin to those pixies that allure people through beautiful tunes and spells. Nowadays, the word is used to describe magic users who enhance items through magic. TOS is no exception. Enchanters can set up shops that can grant equipment special abilities and effects or help comrades by giving out buffs to their gears.

Mergen – Archer Type

All those Mongol ethusiasts might be familiar with the term Mergen. It is a Mongolian word for an excellent archer. It is a name of Ghengis Khan’s maternal grandfather. The name has become something of a title that is awarded to those who showed great marksmanship. In TOS, Mergens are well known for being able to fend of multiple enemies at once. A great hunter indeed.

Hackapell – Archer

Hackapell was one of the names used to call the Finnish Calvary in Sweden also known as Hackapelit. The name is derived from the slogan they uttered “Hakkaa päälle!” (Cut them down!) They shot their enemies from a distance with their pistols, charged towards the enemies, moved swiftly while on horses, and attacked mercilessly with their swords. The terror they imposed on their enemies is inconceivable. In TOS, Hackapells, instead of a pistol, use a crossbow and a one-handed sword and ride on a companion to fight.

Taoist – Cleric

Taoism originated from China and those who practice it are called Taoists. Some of the most well-known skills are the ones that utilize paper charms, just like Taoists in TOS use Strange Yellow Papers. Taoists have more tricks up their sleeves, however, like being able to control ghosts and paper dolls. It’s a shame we can’t fully list all of the amazing feats Taoists are capable of. We hope more of the Taoists’ charms and magic will be revealed in Circle 2.

Inquisitor – Cleric

Nobody expected the Inquisitors! The name ‘inquisitor’ now lives in infamy for ruthlessly eliminating so-called heretics. It has been said that their infamy was even more notorious in the modern age. However, unlike the historical inquisitors who were deeply involved in politics and harmed so many innocent lives, in TOS, the Inquisitors are truly faithful and pure people who worship the goddesses and pass judgment unto the monsters only. There are numerous torture devices such as the iron maiden, but at the moment only the Pear of Anguish is in the game. Fingers crossed for more horrendous torture devices to appear in the game as the class’ skills.
