Trove: Guide to Melee Classes

Knight

The Knight is a hefty, heavily armored character that knows no fear. The Knight can survive some serious punishment from enemies, and shrug off damage while healing himself up in the process. The Knight is the one you want at the front, keeping the enemies at bay. His abilities specialize in getting up close and personal:

• Smash: Crush your enemies with your weapon of choice.
• Charge: Jump towards your foes to get right in their faces.
• Iron Will: This shields you from harm and heals you back up to continue fighting.

• Spit Fire: Your pet dragon flying nearby spits a fireball at enemies.
• Burnt Offering: Drop fiery bombs on the battlefield and trigger them with your attacks.
• Avatar of Flame: Transform into a fire-breathing dragon and torch your enemies.

• Stasis Blade: Lock your enemies in place so they have nowhere to run.

• Sugar Crash: Jump into the air and rain terrifying candy as you smash into your target.
• Eis-Crom: Pray to the candy god Eis-Crom and he will throw an exploding cone of terror on your foes.

Boomeranger

The Boomeranger is a jack of all trades. He can use his trusty boomerang from afar, or get involved in the action with a mighty blade. His skills make him one of the more versatile charcaters:

• Boomerang: deal damage with your boomerang, and if you catch it on its return, you reduce the cooldowns on your other abilities.

• Bonetourage: Spawn a skeleton that fights alongside you until the job is done.
• Banshee’s Boon: This move heals you and your minions by channeling energy from enemies.
• Grave Golem: This move summons a giant Grave Golem that grows larger with the amount of skeletons that you sacrifice to spawn him.
