Classes

All 18 Sword x Staff classes, the 5-rank promotion tree, stat identities and promotion gates — a complete, verified reference.

18 classes
The short version

Sword x Staff has 18 classes on a fixed 5-rank promotion tree growing from two base classes — Warrior (melee) and Mage (caster). Your first real choice is at Rank 2: it locks the lineage (and combat role) you climb all the way to the Legend rank. Pick the endgame role you want, then level toward it.

The four paths

From two roots to four endgame roles

Warrior splits into a Tank and a Crit bruiser; Mage splits into a Burst caster and a Support / summoner. Each path is a straight chain — every promotion is the next class in that line.

How promotion works

Each class is its own level track. To promote, the class you're on must reach a set level (your total levels across all classes also gate it). Numbers below are read straight from the class data.

The full tree

Stat weights are the game's relative base rates (higher = the class leans that way). The signature stat is what sets each line apart. Sample skills are the first few in each class's kit — you unlock and slot them through the Goddess Prayer (summoning), and you scale them with gear.

Sources & caveats

Every class, stat weight, skill and promotion level on this page is verified against the game's own values (the class data, base-stat tables and skill data) — including the class emblems and skill icons. Stat weights are the game's internal base rates (relative pulls, not final numbers). Role labels (Tank, Bruiser, Caster, Support) are read from each class's own description and stat identity; which path is "best" depends on live balance and content these values don't capture — treat the role guidance as orientation, not a tier list.
