# Primary combat classes

One primary class per character, based on the existing combat brief. These assignments are an initial design pass; finalized kits and numerical stats remain open. No extra healing, taunt or damage abilities are implied by a label.

| Faction | Tanks | Fighters | Marksmen | Casters | Support | Total | Classes represented |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Custodians | 2 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 10 | 4/5 |
| Freeholds | 1 | 3 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 10 | 4/5 |
| Syndicate | 2 | 1 | 5 | 0 | 2 | 10 | 4/5 |
| Veil | 1 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 10 | 5/5 |
| **Total** | 6 | 9 | 12 | 3 | 10 | **40** | **5/5** |

All three casters are currently in the Veil. The Syndicate has the strongest marksman concentration (five). These are roster observations, not faction restrictions or a reason to force equal class counts. Support includes control and coordination; it does not imply healing. Tank labels on Axiom, Varko, Rocco, Brakk and the Small Abbot indicate intended frontline functions that still need detailed kits.

## Definitions

- **Tank:** Holds the front line through durability, barriers or displacement.
- **Fighter:** Wins close engagements through melee pressure, dueling or bruiser combat.
- **Marksman:** Deals damage primarily through aimed or sustained ranged weapon attacks.
- **Caster:** Deals damage and control primarily through supernatural or ability-driven attacks.
- **Support:** Enables the squad through protection, repair, coordination, disruption or control.
