Welcome to my version of guide to the MMORPG game Chrono tales.



Lets start with a small intro about the game:




Chrono Tales is a free to play 3D fantasy browser based MMORPG. In Chrono Tales you the player accidentally unleash the Hell King Ulam. Unable to combat the foe, you are sent back two years in the past in order to attempt to change the course of history.
Chrono Tales utilizes a unique pet combat system whereby a player can have up to three pets out at once. As pets level up their abilities increase and players gain access to new uses for their pets including using them as mounts, combat pets and the ability to fuse with the player in order to gain additional attributes.
As players continue to level up they will gain access to large scale siege warfare, whereby they and others can participate in capturing keeps in PvP combat. Players can also participate in world boss fights which gives players a chance to gain legendary loot if they are successful. Chrono Tales gives players numerous customization options including an astrology feature where players can obtain Soul Stars which grant different attributes. Soul Stars can be leveled up independently which grant access to zodiac vigors allowing for even further customization.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's Begin!
Once you start your game, You need to select a character among five classes. Warrior, Mage, Scholar, Assassin and Priest. after you've get into the game, you have to do quests to level up your character. Levelling up is easy from 1 - 30. then it'll take forever. We'll discuss about the levelling up later in the guide. after you reach level 10, you'll be given choice to split your attribute points among Strength, INT, stamina, agility and Luck.

Strength: Affects ATK (Amount of physical damage)

INT:     Affects MATK (Amount of magical damage) MDEF (Magical defense) and Max MP (Mana)

Stamina:  Affects Max HP (health) and DEF (physical defense)

Agilty:       Affects Hit (accuracy) and Crit (critical)

Luck:         Affects Dodge (dodging)

Now let's see a simple introduction about the classes and a guide to build them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warrior


Warriors are the decendents of Earthen Spirit York. They have indomitable will and they once blocked Hell Force's attacks with their steel-like bodies. Warriors are best at melee. Warriors are able to deal the greatest melee damage. In the face of a single target or a group of enemies, they can give overwhelming blows with their powerful weapons. Besides high attack, Warriors also have excellent physical defense, which enables them to block physical attack easily. However, they are not good at dealing with long arrange attacks.

Weapon: Sword

Building guide:
Pure melee DPS: All stats in Strength
In this build you will have to hunt for items with stamina to fix the lack of HP and defense.

Pure Tanker: All stats in Stamina
This build will have very low damage output, but however with the amount of defense and HP, it makes Chrono Tales warriors very effective tanks in the game.

Hybrid builds: (Recommended Build)

Considering mix and match your Strength and stamina points. The more strength you have in the hybrid build, the more damage output that you can do at the expense of lowering defense and HP. By mixing the hybrids, you will have easier time hunting by yourself and with a group.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mage


Mages learned their magic from Ice Spirit Derain. They are well aware of the situation of the battlefield, which makes them the biggest threat to Hell Force. Mages master ranged AOE magical attacks, and take perfect control of ice spells, which could freeze enemies for a while. The weakness of Mages is their low HP. If they let enemies get close to them, their lives will be threatened.
Weapon: Wand
Building guide:
Pure attacker: Pure intelligence.
Ideally the pure intelligence is a good build to have, however only if you have strong enough equipment to survive in PvP fights and in dungeons. You may want to consider adding some points in stamina at later levels to improve your ability to last longer during fights.

Mage Tanker: Pure Stamina
This is a bad build to have in general for your mage. Pure stamina will seriously hurt your damage output.

Hybrid Mage build:
3 Intelligence , 1 Stamina

This is the recommended character build for the game. Consider going full int at earlier stages to improve your killing speed. And gradually add points into stamina if you have found yourself dying too much during instances or pvp play.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scholar


Scholars are the most mysterious force led by Raymond. No one knows their origin. The grand connon invented by Manlans Meg has once made distinguished contributions in the battlefield. Learned and humorous scholars specialize in ranged physical attacks, and may cast a variety of self-developed devices to damage their foes. They research and master various surprising stunts to confuse and restrain their foes. However, scholars are vulnerable to magic attacks.
Weapon: Gun

Building guide:
The scholar’s stats build is very similar to that of assassins. You will mainly focus on strength and agility.

Pure damage: Pure strength.

Or you can consider doing a hybrid of strength and agility to balance between the damage output and defense.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assassin


The legendary Assassin Benson had once broke into Hell Furnace alone and cut off the left arm of Hell Demon Ulam. They can suddenly appear near a unit and always frighten their opponents with swift attacks. In the meantime, they can hardly be hit with their high dodge. Their weakness is low HP and defense. If they fail to kill their enemy, they might be stuck in a dangerous position.
Weapon: Daggers

Building guide:
Pure Melee: Pure Strength
Although this is the recommended build for your assassin, you can still find yourself pretty weak at the beginning stages of the game due to the lack of defense. Make sure you invest enough time and efforts to boost your defenses in terms of HP and dodge.

Pure Critical: Pure Agility
This build let you to deal additional critical attacks throughout the game. However, the lack of damage output in strength makes pure agility builds less attractive.

Hybrid:
1. 3 Strength , 1 Agility – High Damage, Balance Hit & Critical
2. 3 Agility , 1 Strength – High Critical & Hit, Balance Damage

Agility and Luck Hybrids: (my build)
You can also build your Chrono Tales assassin using agility and luck. However this kind of build can result in higher critical and dodge. Yet the lack of damage output makes these hybrids relatively weaker compared to the Strength hybrids.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Priest


Priests inherited the power of Water Spirit. Back to the war against Hell Demon, dozens of senior Priests sacrificed themselves to revive the soldiers of Tribal Army, which turned the battle around. Priests have a good command of unusual spells, which can place people in various states. Moreover, they are capable of reviving and curing people. They can also generate buffs which can improve their magic attack. Priests are weak at low physical defense and it would take a while to master all the skills.

Weapon: Staff

Building guide:
Power Priest: Pure Intelligence
You will be able to deal more damage and cast spells more easily. Go for this build earlier on in the game.

Priest Tank: Pure Stamina
Do not use this build. As a priest you are supposed to support your team and not tank. If you have to tank during instance or PvP fights your team may not be suitable for you.

Hybrid: 3 Intelligence , 1 Stamina
This is a good build only if you find yourself dying in the battle. Ideally you still want to go intelligence heavy to improve your support capability.
