Dragona Race and Class Introduction
Dragona Human – Gunner and Sniper
Dragona Gunner Introduction

The AoE damage dealer that is weak in 1 vs 1 damage. It is a decent training class during the world map. In instance dungeons, you will mainly focus on dealing damage to the minions and non-boss mobs. If you have great gears, you can pull monsters and use your AoE skills to clear out mobs faster. In Dragona instance boss fights, you will mainly be using your debuff skills to support the main 1 vs 1 DPS. In addition, because of its weaker single target DPS, it is not that good of a PvP class to use.

Starting Partial Dragon Possession:
Head: MP Regen +4 in combat
Hand: Min/Max Attack +20%
Chest: HP Regen +10 in Combat
Leg: Movement Speed +15

Tip: Leg is a good consideration because extra movement speed can help you AoE train.
Dragona Sniper Introduction

The single target damage dealer that can deal great deal of damage within a short period of time. Use the benefit of ranged attacks to kill enemies before taking any damage. Because the sniper class requires constant use of all skills, the MP usage will become a problem. There are mainly two routes of skills that you can put skill points into – the elemental route and the non-elemental. However, because you do not have many skill points to fully take advantage of the element attacks, it is better to start with the non-elemental, and opt for skill reset at a later stage in Dragona Online game.

For single player PvE, focus on getting all the active attack skills to maximize your damage output. If you join parties often, consider getting some buff skills to assist your fellow teammates. The Dragon human sniper class is quite versatile.

Starting Partial Dragon Possession:
Head: MP Regen +4 in combat
Hand: Min/Max Attack +20%
Chest: HP Regen +10 in Combat
Leg: Movement Speed +15
Dragona Kalis – Guardian and Assassin
Dragona Guardian Introduction

The tank class of Dragona, the Guardian is your typical tank class in game with good defense, aggro skills, and high HP. Every instance dungeon runs should have one guardian to take the damage. However, because of its low damage output, you should always party with people to level up at a good speed. You will be the one to rush into the battlefield in PvP’s to absorb enemy firepower, however it will be hard for you to actually kill someone.

Starting Partial Dragon Possession:
Head: HP Regen +7 in combat, MP Regen +2 in combat
Hand: Critical Attack +4%, Max Attack +30%
Chest: Non-Combat HP Regen +40, MP Regen +16
Leg: Movement Speed +15
Dragona Assassin Introduction

The assassin is good at dishing out explosive damage within a short period of time. However, in Dragona Online, the assassin truly lives up to the name of assassin, if you cannot kill your enemies during your burst of damage output, you will mostly die. This single DPS melee attacker is good to kill things fast, however the Dragon assassin cannot dish out consistent damage over time and it has no crowd control skills. These factors make Assassins a hard class to play. In PvP situation, you will have to exit battles right after you take out single enemy unit. Because of its relatively lower HP count, any concentrated enemy attacks will be the end of you.

Starting Partial Dragon Possession:
Head: HP Regen +7 in combat, MP Regen +2 in combat
Hand: Critical Attack +4%, Max Attack +30%
Chest: Non-Combat HP Regen +40, MP Regen +16
Leg: Movement Speed +15
Dragona Eldin- Ranger and Magician
Dragona Ranger Introduction

One of the highest single DPS in game. The ranger skills mainly have short cool down which makes it one of the highest DPS potential class. Because of the spam of damage skills, be sure to stock up with the MP pots. Use the benefit of ranged attacks to take down enemies before they deal damage to you. Be sure to team up with Gunner or other crowd control AoE classes to ensure the success of instance dungeon runs.

Starting Partial Dragon Possession:
Head: Non-Combat MP Regen +16, Combat MP Regen +2
Hand: Critical Attack +4%, Max Attack +30%
Chest: Non-Combat HP Regen +40, Combat HP Regen +4
Leg: Movement Speed +15
Dragona Magician Introduction

The AoE magician of the game that has great area of effect crowd control skills. The magician can deal decent 1 vs 1 damage for single player leveling is not that much of a problems. The magician are great for instance dungeon runs to clear out the mobs faster. For PvP playing the class has to focus on debuff skills to weaken enemies. Recommend to start adding skills into AoE’s when you reach level 20 because that is when you will start dragona instance dungeon runs.

Starting Partial Dragon Possession:
Head: Non-Combat MP Regen +16, Combat MP Regen +2
Hand: Critical Attack +4%, Max Attack +30%
Chest: Non-Combat HP Regen +40, Combat HP Regen +4
Leg: Movement Speed +15
Dragona Catcha – Shaman and Scout
Dragona Shaman Introduction

Balance melee class that is decent in attack with some heal skills. The class can be used both for single play as well as partying in dungeons. The guardians aim for stable damage output with decent defense, so that in instance dungeons, the class’ role will tilt toward overall support with its heal and revive skills. Overall, it is simply a balance warrior melee class.

Starting Partial Dragon Possession:
Head: HP Regen +7 in Combat MP Regen +4 in combat
Hand: Elemental Attack Rating +4%, min Attack +30%
Chest: Non-Combat HP Regen + 40, Non-combat MP regen +16
Leg: Movement Speed +15
Dragona Scout Introduction

An interesting class to be played in Dragona. It is interesting because the Assassin’s damage output is mainly through the use of its traps. The beginning stage of the game is easy because most mobs have lower hp and are melee. But leveling up will become hard at later stage when game introduces high HP and most long range mobs.

The assassin has relatively low hp, it takes alot of practice as well as player control to master. In instance dungeons, the grouping can be hard to do because you will have to coordinate with your teammates. Because of the coordination requirement, it makes assassin almost negligible. However, assassins can go for the other route of tossing long ranged weapons which can cost considerate amount of money. You should only play the Dragona assassin class when you are bored and want to try something different.

Starting Partial Dragon Possession:
Head: HP Regen +7 in Combat MP Regen +4 in combat
Hand: Elemental Attack Rating +4%, min Attack +30%
Chest: Non-Combat HP Regen + 40, Non-combat MP regen +16
Leg: Movement Speed +15
