The Hunters and the Damned

Hunter Types

Mage - Hunters who excel in casting different kinds of magic spells but are weak when faced in melee combat.

Enhancer - Hunters who excel in enhancing their weapons or body to fight in close range. They are usually susceptible in long range attacks, but a skilled enhancer can negate that disadvantage.

Battlemage - Top of the tier, a combination of the mage and enhancer types. There are only a few battlemages and usually they are Black or Yellow Star Hunters.

Healer - As the name suggests, they heal and support the Hunters from the backline. They are weak in combat as this type is suited for those who have little to no skill in fighting. Due to this, they are the most protected people in a party or expedition.
