Each of the 6 first job classes have 2 choices of second job class.

Knights specialise in powerful offense and counter-attack. They are able to fight while riding a mount, and move faster than other classes.

The Knight's third job, Rune Knight, gain access to mystical Rune items, which can boost both their offensive, defensive, and supportive capabilities. Their special Dragon mount also gives them unique skills to use in combat.

The Crusader's third job, Royal Guard, is a master of the spear and the shield. They have significantly powerful offensive skills, excellent defensive capabilities, as well as a unique supportive role, especially in PvP environments.

Priests are the invaluable support class, having access to healing, buffs, and even resurrection. They also have strong exorcism skills which counter undead and demons.

The Priest's third job, Arch Bishop, take their supportive role in to the next level with party-wide healing, buffs, and curing skills.

The Monk's third job, Sura, is a master of close-range combat, capable of unleashing huge amounts of damage in a rapid succession.

Wizards specialise in offensive magic in an area of effect (AoE). They are able to deal elemental damage to a number of enemies at once in a large casting area.

The Wizard's third job, Warlock, is a master of elemental magic, having access to more powerful spells in larger AoEs, as well as the ability to store spells to be released in quick successions using Spellbooks.

The Sage's third job, Sorcerer, gain a number of powerful offensive spells, as well as special summoning and insignia-type spells which improves their utility in a party.

Hunters specialise in long-range combat. Using traps, they are able to stop enemies in their tracks to make them an easy target, or harass them and keep them at bay. Their Falcon companion aids them in dealing damage, revealing hidden enemies, and breaking enemy traps.

The Hunter's third job, Ranger, gains even more powerful offensive abilities using the bow and arrow. They also get a Warg companion which can be used as a mount or to attack enemies.

The Bard and Dancer's third jobs, Maestro and Wanderer, have more songs, choruses, as well as access to unique voice skills which can be used offensively and supportively.

Assassins specialise in stealth and poison, to deal critical hits in an instant and disappear into the shadows.

The Assassin's third job, Guillotine Cross, are able to brew special devastating poisons to use against their enemies, while also having advanced stealth skills to avoid getting a single hit.

The Rogue's third job, Shadow Chaser, is a master of debuffs. Using unique Masquerade and Graffiti skills, they can debilitate enemy players and disable them almost completely.

Blacksmith specialise in weaponry, capable of crafting weapons as well as maximising the potential of their party members' weapons.

The Blacksmith's third job, Mechanic, can specialise in using the axe in combat, or can pilot a robotic Mado Gear, which gives them new, powerful skills which can cover offense, defense, and support at the same time.

The extended classes are classes implemented in a later update as an addition to the original six. These include the Taekwon Kid, Ninja, Gunslinger, and Super Novice.

Star Gladiators are attuned to the elements of the universe. Aligning themselves with the cycles of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, the universe bestows them with incredible strength in battle. However, their powers diminish when the Sun, Moon, and Stars are not in alignment.

Soul Linkers relinquish martial arts in favour of learning spirituality. They are able to connect others with powerful souls of the past, blessing people with incomparable power. They are also able to wield their spirituality as a weapon against monsters, or as a tool to protect their spouses or children.

Kagerou and Oborou are ninjas who have broken the limit. They learned new, more powerful physical skills to destroy their foes, and ways to cast their magic in quick succession, all while remaining untouchable. Their skills in illusion allows them to disorient their enemies, monsters and players alike.

Rebels are masters of firearms, capable of pushing their weapons to the limit, allowing them to overwhelm enemies with their quick, successive, and powerful attacks. Their powerful offensive skills can easily destroy single enemies in one hit.

Upon reaching Level 99, they can do a quest to become an Extended Super Novice, which gives them access to several second job skills.

Unlike the humans, Dorams start out as a Summoner, and does not change into any other job. Summoners are capable of learning three different kinds of skills: Physical offense, Magical offense, and Support. By mastering one of the three branches, they acquire great power which allows them to reach greater potential with the skills they have picked.

Stats are the variables that define a character's performance in game. They can be increased by spending Status points, which are gained whenever the character's Base level goes up. Each of these stats affect the character's substats, which directly affects how the character performs.

In MuhRO, Stats and Skills can be reset with a small cost by talking to the Reseter NPC in the Main Office.

==Skills==

Skills can be learned by spending Skill Points, which are gained whenever the character's Job level goes up. All skills can be classified as either Passive or Active.

Passive skills are skills which do not need to be activated to take effect. These skills usually provide certain bonuses that are applied once the skill is learned. An example of these skills are the Mastery skills (e.g. Swordsman's Sword Mastery or Priest's Mace Mastery) which adds bonus ATK when wielding a certain kind of weapon.

It is important to note that while these skills seem trivial at first glance, they can be important in maximising a character's potential in relation to its job class' role.

Active skills are skills that needs to be activated to take effect. Activating a skill is done by double clicking on the skill icon on the skill window, or by placing the skill on the Hotbar and pressing the corresponding keyboard key.

Targeted skills can further be divided to unit-targeted and ground-targeted. Unit-targeted skills require the player to target a monster or a player, while ground-targeted skills are cast on the ground. Some examples of ground-targeted skills are Acolyte's Pneuma and Mage's Thunderstorm.

Non-targeted skills do not need a target, and are activated on button or key press. These skills are often self or party-targeted by default. Some examples of these are Merchant's Loud Exclamation and Acolyte's Angelus.

==Equipment==

As for Defense, it is based on the DEF and MDEF values, depending on what kind of attack the character receives. As with ATK/MATK, the number on the left is called SoftDEF and SoftMDEF, derived from your stats, and the number on the right is called HardDEF and HardMDEF, derived from your equipment and skills.

For example, A character with 150 + 400 DEF has 150 SoftDEF and 400 HardDEF. When taking a damage of 1000, the HardDEF reduces it by about 40%, and the SoftDEF reduces it further by 150. The resulting damage that the character takes is 450.

Certain items improve a character's defensive capability by giving Damage Reductions(also known as Resistances). There are several kinds of Reductions, which include:

A character's Attack Speed is labeled as ASPD on the Status Window. It is derived from the character's stats, mostly AGI and DEX, and is modified by the weapons and shield that the character has equipped. Every class has a different ASPD modifier for different weapons. For example, a Merchant gets -12 penalty from wielding daggers, but a Thief only gets -8. The application of this mechanic is calculated as 50 / 200 - ASPD hits per second. In MuhRO, the maximum attainable ASPD is 193, which is 7.14 hits per second.

The actual Hit rate is calculated as [80 + AttackerHit - DefenderFlee]%.

The character's dodge rate is calculated as [100 − (AttackerHit − DefenderFlee)]%. However, it is important to note that when dealing with more than 2 monsters, FLEE is reduced by 10% per additional monster; i.e. When crowded by 5 monsters, your applied FLEE is only 70%.

The Perfect dodge number is treated as an absolute percentage, which means, achieving 100 perfect dodge will allow your character to dodge all incoming attacks.

Critical rate is also treated as an absolute percentage, which means, achieving 100 CRIT will allow your character to land a critical hit at all times in ideal situations.

Additionally, Critical Damage can be increased by certain equipment which adds Critical Damage percentage.

The Cast and Delay mechanics are two of the most defining feature of the game.

Cast Time is the time needed for a character to execute a skill. It is shown as a bar above the character head which fills up with green. When it is completely filled, the cast finishes and the skill is executed. A character cannot move, attack, or use other skills while casting. Additionally, if a character is attacked during the process, the cast will be interrupted, and the skill must be re-cast.

Every skill has a different amount of cast time; some has no cast time (i.e. an instant skill), and others have long ones (such as a Wizard's Storm Gust and a Priest's Magnus Exorcismus). Learning to work with skills that has long cast times will help you maximise your character's potential. Alternatively, there are certain equipment that grants non-interruptible casting, such asCard Phen Card and  Orlean's Gown .

Fixed Cast Time, as the name implies, cannot be reduced by normal means. It is only reduced by very specific skills and equipment, such as an Arch Bishop's Sacrament and a Temporal Boots of Dexterity.

Delay is the time applied after casting a skill where a character is unable to cast more skills. During this time, the character can still move, use items, and attack normally.

There are two kinds of Delay: Cast Delay and Cooldown.
