Class and combat system teaser

The update closes with a brief teaser for the game's broader combat and class design. Although the main focus remains gathering, several high-level details are given about class structure and spell presentation.

Class structure

Scars of Honor is said to have 40 classes in total, organized as 10 main classes with 4 specializations each. The specializations are described as fully defined at the time of the update.

A key design goal is strong differentiation between specializations. According to the update, two specializations of the same base class share little beyond a small number of abilities, and each is intended to support a distinct play style.

Spell schools and effects

The combat system includes 10 spell schools. Each spell school is said to have its own set of visual effects, indicating a strong emphasis on visual identity between different forms of magic.

Combat presentation work

The teaser mentions ongoing work on casting animations, hit animations, the spell system, and attributes. These elements are described as progressing together as the combat presentation takes shape.

The segment is framed as an early preview of a larger combat-focused reveal planned for a later update.
