‘Arthdal Chronicles: Three Factions’ (hereinafter Arthdal Chronicles) is gearing up to celebrate its 2nd anniversary on May 6th, and with it comes a brand new server, Crabon. With a swarm of returning players and fresh faces eager to dive in, the burning question remains: which of the eight classes should you pick? Naturally, KookminTree has done the legwork to sort this out for you.

Q. Which class should I pick for the new Crabon server?
A. We recommend the Archer, Dangri, or Storm Caller for their superior grinding performance.

The new Crabon server grants instant access to the integrated field, Black Night Archipelago. Since leveling up quickly to dominate that region is the priority, you want a class that excels at efficient grinding. Expect a new 'Assassin' class and class-change tickets to drop in an update about a month later; once you've hit your stride, feel free to swap to your heart's content. But for now, who reigns supreme in the hunting grounds? Archer and Dangri take the crown.

Both are ranged specialists who excel at single-target damage. Their high-octane skills, such as the gauge-based 'Aimed Shot' and 'Dance of the Severed Soul', can clear monsters so fast that the spawn rate barely keeps up. You'll want to prioritize upgrading these skills immediately. A pro tip for Dangri players: you'll also need to get 'Curse' and 'Chain Curse' to Hero grade to see the best results.

Storm Caller is a different beast entirely, utilizing 'Chain Lightning', 'Typhoon', 'Whirlwind', and 'Lightning Strike' to deal with packs of enemies. They shine when mobs are bunched up, but if you're facing small or scattered targets, their efficiency drops. Unlike the others, they require significant investment in upgrading almost all their skills to truly feel powerful.

If you fancy yourself a healer for PvP or group content, the Priest is your go-to. On a fresh server like Crabon, you won't be seeing many enemies with healing reduction debuffs like 'Hope Cutter' or 'Wound Aggravation' just yet, making the Priest a formidable force on the battlefield.

With the right setup, the Priest is a surprisingly decent grinder too. You'll need to sub-class into Dangri to grab Hero-grade 'Curse' and 'Chain Curse', plus the 'Prayer of Death' passive if you can snag it. Keep 'Spear of Light' upgraded to maintain your 'Divine Punishment' damage buff. You won't out-pace an Archer, but your kills-per-hour will remain respectable.

Q. What about a sub-class?
A. Generally speaking, Dangri is the best all-rounder.

If you can get your hands on Hero-grade 'Curse' and 'Chain Curse', Dangri is the only choice for a sub-class. The ability to reset the cooldown of 'Curse' via 'Chain Curse' is broken in the best way possible. Even classes that struggle to grind, like Dual Sword, Warrior, or Fighter, can easily hit over 70 kills per minute with this setup. However, if you can't access those two skills, the Fighter's 'Blood Rage' common skill makes them a more viable alternative.

For Dangri players, we suggest Storm Caller as a sub-class. It offers passives like 'Breeze' (final damage and skill speed) and 'Thunderbolt', which synergize beautifully with a speed-focused Dangri. Archers can also benefit from Storm Caller; the common skill 'Gust' is a lifesaver in PvP, keeping those pesky melee attackers at bay.

If your focus is strictly PvP, look toward Warrior or Archer. Warriors bring 'Slam' for stuns and 'Iron Wall' for survivability, while Archers can use 'Wind Walk' to dodge incoming fire. That movement speed boost from 'Wind Walk' is also essential whether you're chasing down a kill or beating a hasty retreat.
