What Is the Combat Role System in Chrono Odyssey?

Chrono Odyssey features a flexible take on the traditional MMORPG "Trinity System"—the trio of Tank, DPS, and Healer roles. However, instead of locking players into rigid class types, each class can fulfill multiple combat roles depending on their equipped weapons and chosen abilities.

• Tank: Classes like Paladin and Swordsman can take on this role using shields or defensive stances. Tanks are responsible for absorbing damage and maintaining enemy focus.
• DPS: Almost every class has a DPS loadout. Assassin, Berserker, Ranger, and Sorcerer all excel in various forms of damage output—whether through burst, AoE, or sustained pressure.
• Healer/Support: The Paladin and Sorcerer can provide healing and buffs, making them viable support picks in group content.

This adaptable system encourages creativity in group composition and rewards players who experiment with loadouts to match different encounter needs.
