Sword & Shield = Main tank (taunts, ally buffs, thorns, counterattack).

Dual Blades = Off-tank / stagger destroyer (Shock debuff, taunt, block).

Greatsword = Burst DPS / AOE cleave (hyper armor, CC chain).

Class 3: Ranger (Ranged DPS / Melee Hybrid)
Role: The only consistent ranged damage class in the beta. Uses Vigor (not Rage).
Weapons
Weapon    Playstyle    Unique Mechanics    Special Move (RMB)
Crossbow    High attack speed, shorter range than bow. High DPS.    Precision (buff: +3% crit rate per stack, up to 10x, 5s duration).
Spirit Venom (various poisons: DoT, defense reduction, movement slow, root, stun).    Trick Shot (front/back flip or barrel roll + arrow barrage, costs stamina).
Bow    Longest range, complex resource management.    Arrows (resource, ~5-6, replenish over time).
Alt key = select arrow type (Impact, Flaming, Frost, Poison, Explosive) to modify right-side abilities.
Frost Arrow applies Chill (same as Berserker's chain blades).    Aim Down Sights + charge arrow (longer charge = more damage, range, and elemental stacks).
Rapier    Only melee weapon for Ranger. Applies poison and team buffs Chrono Odyssey Gold.    Mark (Counterattack ability: enemy takes +10% damage from all sources for 8s).
Blade Song (buff: +20% attack to self & nearby allies for 15s).    Charging Thrust (dodge + damage; passives can add poison or stun on crit).
Note: The Bow is considered weaker early game (scaling issues) but offers unmatched range and large AOE (Explosive Arrows + Arrow Shower).
