Battle Styles

In Cabal Online, every character belongs to one of nine battle styles. Six of these — the Warrior, Blader, Wizard, Force Archer, Force Shielder and Force Blader — are known as the "Authentic Six", skills that were inherited among the Nevarethians. The Warrior, Blader and Wizard styles are traced to before the Nevareth Exodus, the Honorable Age, while the other three originated from the first generation of the 7 Sages. Three more styles were introduced in later episodes: the Gladiator, the Force Gunner (Episode XVII, classic era), and the Dark Mage (Episode XXVIII, October 2021).

Each battle style uses different weapons and armor, and favors a particular spread of STR, INT and DEX. The table below shows the recommended stat allocation as given on the official class pages (classic era up to Episode XVII).

Once a character is created, the chosen battle style cannot be changed. Each style has its own starting town, skill library, and recommended stat build. All styles share common skills (Dash, Regeneration, common magic spells) and upgrade skills, in addition to their own class-specific sword and magic skills. Reaching higher skill ranks unlocks more powerful class skills for every style.
