History Characters / RagnarokOnline

* BladeOnAStick: One-handed spears combined with shields are the mainstay to Crusader players.

!!Priest > High Priest > Arcbishop

* [[MsFanservice Miss/Mister Fanservice]]: both gender have a nice share for this. Females show off [[ShesGotLegs their legs]] (and cleavage, in case of Arcbishop), whereas males get a low-cut coat that show their chest.

* WalkingShirtlessScene: Shura. Both gender. Though females still cover their breasts with wrappers.

* MagikarpPower: in order to maximize your magical power for Soul Linker, you must sacrifice some points from Strength. And since they’ll lose the kick skills, you must not take them during your time as Taekwon Kid. Combined with “no weapons for you”, those

* AmbiguouslyGay: The most popular interpretation for Howard and Flamel (who are incidentally of Merchant-derived classes)

* {{Bishonen}} and {{Bishoujo}}

Merchants are an AptlyNamed class in the game. They (mostly) deal with the economy and is able to generate cash at an increased rate with their ''Overcharge'' and ''Discount'' skills; they can also employ ''Pushcarts'' as a kind of second inventory, and if they have this they can do ''Vending'' to sell valuable items to other players. In battle, they can hold their own thanks to their ''Mammonite'' skill. Most player will have one (or two) Merchants as their character, if only for vending wares, discounting, and/or inventory expansion.

The monsters which inhabit Lighthalzen Somatology Biolaboratory. They’re basically a stronger version of First and Transcendent classes with ghostly figures. They’re [[EnsembleDarkhorse so popular]] and thus deserve their own entries. They are:
* 2nd floor – Egnigem Cenia, Erende Ebecee, Wickebine Tres, Kavach Icarus, Laurell Weinder, Armeyer Dinze
* 3rd floor – Seyren Windsor, Eremes Guile, Howard Alt-Eisen, Cecil Damon, Kathyrne Keyron, Margaretha Sorin
* 4th floor – Randel Lorentz, Chen Ryu, Gertie Wie, Trentini, Alphoccio Bazil, Flamel Emul, Celia Alde

* AmbiguouslyGay: the most popular interpretation for Howard and Flamel (who are incidentally of Merchant-derived classes)

* [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard The Mobs Based Off The Player Classes Are Cheating Bastards/Bitchs]]: a few cast player skills at way higher levels than the player cast-able max. For example, Kathyrne Keyron casts a level 26 Jupitel Thunder when players can only cast up to level 10 max one; the MVP version of Egnigem Cenia can throw a spiral pierce/clashing spiral (a skill that's exclusive to the Lord Knight Class for players) despite being based of off the base swordman/woman class.

* ElementalPowers: one for each class group, until Howard’s element got changed, bringing in a previously unrepresented element. [[PlayingWithTropes Played with]] by 4th floor inhabitants, which are more based on their respective classes’ characteristics.

* NamesTheSame: in-universe example.

** With Renewal, which pushed everyone to insanely high levels (around 120-150 for normals, and ‘’’160’’’ for MVPs) with low amounts of EXP per kill. Although 2nd floor’s changes are acceptable, the 3rd floor’s changes received major backlash. Never mind that most people who complained about it were people who were spoiled by other dungeons’ easiness.

** Ninja players are often comparing Killing Stroke to Guillotine Fist. Guess which class facing Kagerou and Oboro in their promotional video?

* AmbiguouslyGay: the most popular interpretation for Howard and Flamel (who accidentally are from Merchant-derived classes)

* [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard The Mobs Based Off ThePlayer Classes Are Cheating Bastards/Bitchs]] ,a few of these cast versions of player skills way higher than the player cast-able max like Kathyrne Keyron who casts a level 26 Jupitel Thunder when players can only cast a level 10 max one and the MvP version of Egnigem Cenia can throw a spiral pierce/clashing spiral (a skill that's exclusive to the Lord Knight Class for players Egnigem Cenia is based of the base swordman/woman class which can't use it for some examples.
* DemonicSpiders: Lord helps you if you meet either Eremes or Cecil. The 4th floor examples are Chen, Flamel, and Gertie.

** Some of them had been appeared earlier as {{NPC}}. The most recognizable one was Seyren, who appeared during Megginjard’s Seal Quest; and Wickebine, whose elder sister (who goes by the same in-game name) is one of clients on Blacksmith Job Change Quest.
** Most of their hairstyles are the ones that used for their respective classes’ official sprites. Averted by 4th floor inhabitants except Gertie, who use either Third classes ones (Celia, Flamel, Chen), unrelated Second classes ones (Alphoccio, Randel), or even a completely new one (Trentini).
* EnsembleDarkhorse: by far the most popular high-level monsters in the fandom, with tons of fanarts and fanfics dedicated for them.

* ElementalPowers: one for each class groups, until Howard’s element got changed, which brought a new one. [[PlayingWithTropes Played with]] by 4th floor inhabitants, which are more based on their respective classes’ characteristics.
** Fire – Egnigem, Seyren, Flamel.

* ItIsDehumanizing: if the Cursed Spirits Quest is anything to go by, this is what really happened on them. Which leads to…

** Flamel Emul, and Nicholas Flamel (from Alchemist Job Change Quest).
** Kathryne[=/=]Katrinn sounds similar with [[spoiler:[[RagnarokTheAnimation a certain Mage with a Blinker.]]]]

** No, Chen isn’t a [[Game/Touhou half-human half-rat youkai]].

* RedEyesTakeWarning: everyone has this, though it may vary in both official and fan works. The ones that consistently drawn with them are the First classes ghosts.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: some players still torn between their in-game names and the names in the cards.

** Eremes and Seyren got their race changed from Demi-Human to Demon. Cue Assassins who grinds there by spamming Grimtooth cried.

** Comes Renewal, which pushed everyone to insanely high levels (around 120-150 for normals, and ‘’’160’’’ for MVP) with low amount of EXP per kill. Although 2nd floor’s changes are acceptable, the 3rd floor’s received major backlash. Never mind that most people who complained about it were people who were spoiled by other dungeons’ easiness.

* HumongousMecha: the MADOs.

* {{AFGNCAAP}}

* PowerMakesYouFloat: Solar Lunar Stellar Union
* ThrowABookAtThem: oddly enough. Though the official site describes that they only use the energy inside the books.

* BareYourMidriff: Female Hunter and both gender of Sniper and Ranger

* BareYourMidriffs: Female Hunter, both gender of Sniper and Ranger

*** for HoYay couples….two words: ‘’’’’EREMES / HOWARD’’’’’. Seyren / Howard is not unheard of, same as Seyren / Eremes. For the girls, Margaretha / Cecil is the most popular one, with Cecil / Kathryne close behind.

*** two words again: ‘’’’’FLAMEL / CHEN’’’’’. Alternatives would be Randel / Flamel and Alphoccio / Flamel. Gertie / Trentini often have a relationship akin of [[MelanchonyOfHaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi and Mikuru]].

** No, Chen isn’t a [[Touhou half-human half-rat youkai]].

Super Novices also have a Job Level of 99.

* AnEnterpreneurIsYou: Both in-game and in a meta sense.

* ReviveKillsZombies: The more minor variant, as Heal harms undead-type monsters. It is also the main way for a full-support Acolyte to LevelGrind.

!!Defender/Crusader > Paladin > Royal Guard

* AllYourPowersCombined: Warlock's Tetra Vortex

!!Sage > Scholar > Sorcerer
* CastFromHitPoints:

* SummonMagic

* CriticalHit: one of the most popular builds for them
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Assassin Cross has a tattered red scarf

!!Rogue > Stalker > Shadowchaser

!!Bard > Clown (kRO) /Minstrel (iRO) > Minstrel (kRO) / Maestro (iRO)

* AnAxeToGrind

* [[MsFanservice Miss/Mister Fanservice]]: both gender have a nice share for this. Females show off [[ShesGotLegs their legs]] (and cleavage, in case of Arcbishop), whereas males get a low-cut coat that show their chest.

!!Monk > Champion > Shura

* GameBreaker: Ashura Strike/Guillotine Fist.

The main support class for 1st Classes, Acolytes have a diverse skills. They are the only 1st Class that can ''Heal'', and augment a multitude of stats with their support skills. Always in a high demand, they are vital to the survival of a particular adventuring group.

* ReviveKillsZombies: The more minor variant, as Heal harms undead-type monsters. It is also the main way for a full-support Acolyte to level.
* WhiteMage

* BerserkButton: In a surprisingly meta and straightforward fashion. Lord Knights have this ability, which is simply termed ''Berserk''; It gave them very high power boost at the cost of all of your other abilities (even the ones to speak) and recovery. Of course, you the player activate it ''[[IncrediblyLamePun with a push of a button]]''.
** TheBerserker, for builds capitalizing this ability.
* Lightning Bruiser: Their attack speed can be boosted very high.

* LightningBruiser: Spear-based Royal Guard builds can be this.
* MagicKnight: Defender-type players are essentially knights wielding WhiteMagic.
* Mighty Glacier: the skills of Crusader-types seemed to be geared more to this end.
* ShieldBash: plus its sister trope ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks. There are even builds capitalizing this ability.

RagnarokOnline has many classes and characters... (in progress)

* MagikarpPower: Getting to this class is painful.

* AnAxeToGrind: not used oftes as they have very low ASPD (Attack Speed) and damage output

The main support class for 1st Classes, Acolytes have a diverse skills. They are the only 1st Class that can ''Heal'', and augment a multitude of stats with their support skills.

!!Novice

!!1st Job Classes:

* HeroesPreferSwords: One-handed is best for ASPD
* KnifeNut: High ASPD yet does lees damage on medium and large monsters

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: A low-level Guard, and a very big magic book

* KnifeNut: durr durr
* TheArcher: some Rogue builds...

Archers are adept at long range combat, and use it almost exclusively. Gifted with high accuracy and excellent damage, archers are arguably one of the fastest first job classes to level up in Ragnarok. Their range gives them several advantages, which includes the ability to change the element of their weapon quickly by changing their arrow type. This makes Archers able to exploit elemental advantages easily. Accuracy and damage is increased by the same stat (DEX), allowing all attacks to connect and deal a lot of damage. Range enables archers to defeat stationary or slow-moving opponents that are stronger than they are without being hit.

* LethalJokeCharacter: The instant-cast Super Novice

[[/folder]]

* AnAdventurerIsYou

* {{Gainaxing}}: Female Novices while wearing BREASTPLATES, RagnarokWisdom speculates that their breastplates are made of jellopy, a jelly-like substance found in Porings

* FireIceLightning: Although Lightning is sometimes refered to as "wind"

From job level 40 to 50, Thieves are given the choice to take the trial to join the mysterious order of the Assassins or continue plotting ever more daring crimes as a Rogue.

RagnarokOnline has many classes and characters...

In starting out, one would invest first in Intelligence (Int) since magic attacks and the SP gauge depends on it. Another thing to consider is Dexterity (Dex), in which casting time depends. Vitality (Vit) is next after the two, to give the Mage a survival edge. Agility, Strength and Luck are the least concern.
