Elf


ELF Healer
These gentle-souled elves are proficient at healing others in their party. But do not be fooled, they can also pack a wicked wallop in the form of magical attacks.
  • Priest
    Specializing in healing and protection using a range of powerful magic spells. They assist in party members recovery, defense and also vitality.
  • Templar
    Quite the aggressor, they are capable of both magical and physical attacks. But their healing powers are keen as well.
Story
“My magic will protect us.” The second race to become residents of Rohan Continent following Humans are the beautiful Elves created by Marea. After having lost their first capital Regen to monsters, their civilization is being developed under the rule of the king and prophets in Vena, their second capital. With Magic Academy located in Via Marea, the Elf nation, active magic research was being conducted surpassing other cities, but with the continent being seeped in chaos triggering incessant interracial warfare, the academy was fashioned into a magic training facility in preparation for war. Elves prize mental training over physical aspects and aptly employ magic on healing wounds and altruistic activities as advocates of peace.

Advanced Class Discussion: Elves

The Elves are recognized as the healers of Rohan Online, and their skills revolve around the use of such spells to survive. However, with their power over life comes also the power to take it away. You’ll soon come to learn that Elves may be just as formidable as your next door warrior or mage!

Drifting Away from the Healer Stereotype
In most games, healers are presumed to be the weakest of all classes in terms of combat capability. Usually, players see them in support roles, just making sure that they keep their friends alive.
In Rohan Online, the Elves’ diverse skill tree allows them to focus on which specific healing style they want to do: single healing, group healing, and so on. They may even opt to focus on their offensive and support spells, avoiding the healing skills altogether.

Half-Elf

HALF ELF Archer
Offspring of Human and Elf, these forest-dwellers are masters of ranged combat. Be it bow & arrow or mechanical crossbow, their proficiency is unmatched.
  • Scout
    Masters of multi-targeting with their bows (and magic), they often choose to fight all enemies at once rather than one at a time.
  • Ranger
    Well versed on the crossbow, Rangers dominate their opponents with swift and precise arrow and dagger attacks.
Story
“An arrow that leaves the bowstring never misses the target.” A half-blood race is born as a result of active diplomacy being forged between Humans and Elves following the demise of the main god and destruction of the dragons. Called Half Elves, they emerged as a new race possessing characteristics of both Humans and Elves. However, shunned by Humans and Elves alike, they roam the continent and have been mounting a recent effort to cultivate an autonomous civilization. Forest-oriented lifestyle of Half Elves naturally enable them to wield the bow, a weapon conducive to hunting. Endowed with Human strength and constitution, and agile body and incisive sensibility inherited from Elves, They possess the most competent ranged offense on the continent.

Dekan

DEKAN Dragon Fighter
Nearly incomprehensible, these changelings defy nature. Dekans are born with the nascent ability to transform from humanoid to a fiercely violent dragon!
  • Dragon Knight
    They evolve more quickly in the form of dragon rather than humanoid, and employ a unique bloodsucking skill to weaken opponents.
  • Dragon Sage
    Specialized hunters that can attack large areas at once. Pray you do not cross them underwater.
Story
“Not even death can curb our dignity.” Unlike other races who were created by main god Ohn, Dekans, descendents of Blue Dragon Armenes, named their nation after their creator. Inhabiting the north, with capital Rev’Deca at the center, Dekans maintain an odd rivalry with the nearby Dhans. Profoundly proud of their provenance as dragon’s descendents, Dekans are disposed to disdaining other races created by the lower gods.
