Overview

In Chrono Odyssey, each of the six launch Classes, Swordsman, Ranger, Sorcerer, Paladin, Berserker, and Assassin, has access to three class-locked weapons. Adventurers may equip two of these at a time and swap between them instantly in combat using the Q key, layering time-manipulation skills from the Chronotector on top of traditional action gameplay.

Each weapon comes with its own unique:

• Skill tree with distinct abilities
• Special ability activated by right-click
• Weapon mastery level that must be leveled independently from class level
• Set of eight abilities (four active at any time)

Weapon Switching System

The weapon switching system is a core mechanic that enables dynamic combat:

Feature	Description
Real-time swaps	Press Q to change weapons instantly with no animation lock
Eight-skill loadout	Four active skills per weapon; total of 8 skills available during combat
Cooldown persistence	Skill cooldowns persist through weapon swaps
Role flexibility	Combine defensive and offensive weapons to cover Tank/Healer/DPS roles
Combat fluidity	Can swap mid-attack; current attack finishes before swap occurs

Resources

Class	Resource	Generation	Notable Traits
Swordsman / Berserker	Rage	Builds on hit; decays out of combat	Enables burst "spender" skills
Ranger / Assassin	Vigor	Starts full; spent by skills	No passive decay, supports kiting
Sorcerer / Paladin	Mana	Passive regen	Governs both healing and DPS spells

Weapon Mechanics

Skill System

Each weapon features:

• 8 total abilities per weapon in the skill tree
• 4 active ability slots that can be equipped at once
• Left lane (red highlight) - typically offensive abilities
• Right lane (blue highlight) - typically defensive/utility abilities
• Center lane - buffs, passives, and enhancements to basic attacks
• Synergy skills - Unlockable skills with two option choices

Weapon Mastery

Weapon mastery operates independently from character level:

• Must physically use a weapon to level it up
• Cannot level weapon mastery by using other weapons
• Each weapon has its own progression tree
• Higher mastery unlocks more powerful abilities
• Points are earned by levelling the weapon separately from the character

Weapon Attributes

Attribute	Description
Base Damage	Raw hit power before modifiers
Attack Speed	Determines animation length and resource-gain rate
Scaling Stat	Primary character attribute that boosts damage/healing
Skill Modifiers	Random perks such as +Crit Rate or +Time-Magic Amp
Combat Power (CP)	Overall power rating affected by all weapon stats
Enhancement Level	+0 to +15 upgrade tier applied at the Blacksmith

Enhancement & Crafting

The enhancement system allows players to upgrade weapons without RNG-based destruction:

Upgrade System

1. Visit a town Blacksmith to upgrade weapons from +0 to +15
2. Required materials:
   • Gold
   • Monster drops
   • Enhancement Stones
3. Success rates:
   • 100% success for upgrades up to +3–5
   • Higher tiers introduce failure chance
   • No item breakage or downgrade on failure (only material loss)
4. Equipment Score increases with each upgrade

Enchanting

Enchanting adds or rerolls skill modifiers on purple-rarity and above gear:

• Adds affixes like:
  • Critical hit chance
  • Cooldown reduction
  • Elemental damage
  • PvP-specific stats
• Becomes crucial for late-game optimization
• Can manually reroll affixes with specific materials

Crafting vs Drops

Crafted gear was generally more powerful than gear found from combat during the early game of the beta. [4] This balance may change in the full release.

Future Systems

Planned post-beta additions include:

• Legendary recipes and set bonuses
• Time-Fused gear
• Crafting boosts during events
• Time-infused enchants

The Chronotector grants one extra C-key skill such as:

• Rewind - Undo 3 seconds of damage after risky plays

Example Combos

Freeze Burst

Freeze enemies → swap to high-damage weapon → unleash burst combo

Berserk Recovery

Use Twin Axes Berserk mode → take damage → Rewind to restore HP

Time-Slow Field

Sorcerer Manasphere creates field → accelerates party cooldowns → rapid skill rotation

Tactical Applications

Combat Strategies

Hybrid Rotations

Open at range with bow/crossbow, then swap to melee when enemies close distance

Resource Management

Use resource-generating weapons (Greatsword) to build up, then swap to spender weapons (Dual Blades)

Cooldown Optimization

Rotate between weapons to maximize ability uptime since cooldowns persist through swaps

Role-Fluid Builds

Paladin Mace+Halberd enables off-heals and DPS in small-group content without rerolling

Swordsman	Dual Blades + Sword & Shield	Tank with damage options and threat control

Armor Interaction

Weapon effectiveness is influenced by armor weight:

• Light Armor - Increases damage output, reduces defense
• Medium Armor - Balanced stats
• Heavy Armor - Increases defense, reduces damage
• No weight-based movement penalties (dodge type is class-based, not armor-based)

Beta Limitations

During the Closed Beta Test (June 20-26, 2025), only three classes will be available:

• Swordsman
• Ranger
• Berserker

The remaining classes (Paladin, Sorcerer, Assassin) will be available at full launch.

Tips for New Players

• Each class receives full weapon kit at character creation for testing
• Weapon mastery levels are separate from character levels - use weapons to level them
• Try all weapon combinations during beta - respec is available
• Headshots with ranged weapons deal bonus damage
• Practice weapon swapping combos for fluid combat
• Monitor stamina usage - each weapon has different stamina costs
• Consider armor weight when planning builds
• Resource management differs by class - learn your resource mechanics
