The Solider has a Shield and Sword to combat against others, along with Bombs which explode ala'Bomberman Style. They can be thrown or dropped depending on the amount of time the Action button is held for that, well, action. Team Mates will not be damaged from the bombs, but any opposing player will be killed instantly. The Solider is also able to use their shields in a couple of ways. By holding their shield in front of them, they can block any arrows, attacks or blast damage coming at them, they also become a wall of sorts, able to push players of both teams with their shield. Dangerous for team mates who wish to retreat behind their shields because they now can't pass. The Solider can also hold the shield above their head, which can protect them from damage coming from above, but can also turn themselves into a step for other players to jump on and over something. With his sword the Soldier can Mine himself but at a slower pace of a Miner, but they can Dig through Stone, Ladders and Doors...

The Archer is the Ranged player, they use their Bows and Arrows to deal damage from afar and with good accuracy if skilled enough. While each arrow only removes one Health, constant rain of arrows can pin Soliders in position, pick off miners from afar due to the need of the player to zoom in and unaware of their surroundings and to pick off anyone who is not ready. An Archer can run out of Ammo quite quickly, so they will need to be quick on harvesting wood from trees to make their arrows or scavenge more off fallen archers around the battlefield. The distance an arrow will fly will be accounted to the amount of time the [RMB] is held down and the amount that it will fall will be from the angle it is lifted, so you will need to aim higher to hit something further.

The Miner can make or break a Team. They present both the Goal hunter and the Defense builder. The miner is the only true miner because of his speed when mining. It is faster to gather gold and stone via a Miner due to that speed, but you are quite weak when it comes to combat unless in large mobs. The Miner is also the only Class that can place block which can be Ladders, Stone walls, Doors or even Catapult Pieces. They can also build Back walls which act as a way to build against a substance without building ladders or walls originally.
