Classes & Progression
Master the three-tier class progression system
Professions are the main source of power in the game, offering unique abilities, weapon proficiencies, and playstyles. Each profession progresses through three tiers: Base, Super, and Ultra. Players can choose between two paths: specializing in one Ultra profession plus one Base profession, or creating a hybrid build with two Super professions (which blocks Ultra progression).
Understanding the nuances of different classes is crucial for optimal character development. Each of the base classes offers distinct advantages and can lead to multiple advanced class paths. The class system in Rogueblox is designed to reward both specialization and strategic planning, with each tier of classes building upon the foundation established by your initial profession choice. Mastering these classes requires understanding both individual class mechanics and how different classes interact within the broader game systems.
Profession Progression System
Base Professions
Foundation level
Starting point for all characters. Eight base professions available: Fighter, Mage, Rogue, Spearman, Swordsman, Alchemist, Gunman, and Bard. These foundational classes establish your character's core identity and determine which advanced classes become available later. Mastering base classes is essential before progressing to more specialized tiers.
- Foundation abilities and weapon proficiency
- Can learn additional base profession at Ultra tier
- Determines available progression paths
Super Professions
Enhanced abilities
Advanced tier including professions like Sage, Cleric, Seeker, White Knight, Fallen Knight, and Executioner. Choose 2 Super professions for hybrid builds or 1 to continue to Ultra. Super classes represent significant power increases and offer specialized abilities that define your character's advanced combat role. The choice between hybrid and specialist paths at this tier determines your entire endgame progression.
- Enhanced abilities and new skills
- Can have 2 Super professions as hybrid
- Hybrid locks out Ultra progression
Ultra Professions
Master tier
Ultimate mastery including World Sage, Priest, World Seeker, and Grand Knight. Unlocks the ability to learn a second Base profession alongside your Ultra. Ultra classes represent the pinnacle of character development, offering unparalleled power and unique abilities not found in lower tier classes. The versatility gained from adding a second base profession creates incredibly powerful and flexible character builds.
- Powerful ultimate abilities
- Second Base profession unlocked
- Requires single Super profession path
