The DioField Chronicle offers players many choices for party members as it has four main Classes of characters: Soldiers, Cavaliers, Sharpshooters, and Magickers. Within these Classes are sub-Classes, two for each, except the Soldier Class, which has three. Each sub-Class uses a different skill, meaning players will have to be well-versed on which ones are the best for each party member.
In The DioField Chronicle, skills are not static and can be upgraded to become more powerful. They are restricted to certain weapon types, so if players want to take advantage of a specific skill, they'll have to ensure they have the right weapons equipped. These are all the best skills players will need for the Soldier Class.
