Character types

The character type of an ally character is a DWLegacy Wiki classification that is determined based on the character's base attributes. The four types are tank, offensive, healer and balanced.

Tank

See also: Category:Tank characters

Tank characters have above-average HP but below-average attack and heal. A typical tank character has HP > ATK × 3.

Offensive

See also: Category:Offensive characters

Offensive characters have above-average attack but below-average HP and heal. A typical offensive character has ATK > HP. They are the equivalent of DPS characters of other RPGs.

Healer

See also: Category:Healer characters

Healer characters have above-average heal but below-average HP and attack. A typical healer character has Heal × 1.5 > ATK.

Healer characters shouldn't be confused with healing characters, though some companions are considered both healer and healing characters.

Note: if a character meets more than 2 of these categories, compare the margins, for example if a character meets the criteria for both offensive and healer, calculate (Heal × 1.5 > ATK and ATK - HP.

If (Heal × 1.5 > ATK > ATK - HP, the character is a healer;

if ATK - HP > (Heal × 1.5 > ATK, the character is offensive.

Balanced

Balanced characters have average stats all round. Characters are considered balanced if they don't fit any of the other categories.
