Strategy : Clans & Classes

9Dragons was design to have nine Clans and one Vagabon role. The six basic clans are: Wu Tang, Shaolin, The League of Beggars, Heavenly Demon, Sacred Flower, The Brotherhood of Thieves, while the 3 advanced clans are: Black Dragon Clan, Disciples of Iron Fist, and The Union of Noble Families. Advanced clans are not yet implemented.

The clans are divided into three categories: The White clans (Wu Tang, Shaolin, and The League of Beggars), who are loyal to the emperor, the Black clans (Heavenly Demon, Sacred Flower, and Brotherhood of Thieves) who are not loyal to the emperor, and the Advanced clans (Black Dragon Clan, Disciples of Iron Fist, and The Union of Noble Families).

Some of the main advantages of joining a clan are:

-The ability to learn advanced skills, such as more powerful attacks, heals spells, buffs, and debuffs.

-The ability to join a Hero Band and Hero League

-Stronger meditation skills that allow you to recover more quickly.

-The ability to earn karma points more rapidly than you would otherwise.

In 9 Dragons we have implemented four distinct classes:

Warrior: Warriors are the masters of their clan's main weapon. They are the first to rush into combat, and all of their skills are centered around dealing direct damage to the opponent. They emphasize Constitution, Dexterity, and Strength, while Essence is harder for them to develop.

Healer: The healer of a clan uses their clan's secondary weapon, but their abilities focus more on buffing and healing other members. As the Hybrid has the same basic abilities as they do, the Healer is able to heal external and internal injuries, while the Hybrid cannot. They emphasize Essence and Wisdom, while Constitution is harder for them to develop.

Nuker: The nuker is a specialist in the Chi Kung arts handed down in their clan. They focus on dealing long-range damage to their target, and the majority of their skills can do quite a bit of damage. They emphasize Essence and Wisdom, while Strength is hard for them to develop. They are ill-suited to melee combat.

Hybrid: The Hybrid is an army unto themselves; they learn a bit of every art passed down in their clan, from secondary clan weapon usage to Chi Kung attacks and buffing and healing. They emphasize Constitution and Essence, while Wisdom is harder for them to develop.

Each clan has for each role different names :
