Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen/Classes

There are 76 different classes in the game, plus the "Hero of Legend" or "Opinion Leader". Such classes can be grouped into families; furthermore, some families are related because members of one family can recruit members of a stronger family. This leaves four main groups.

From a different point of view, there are 36 different "end-of-line" classes.

Fighter group families
A Fighter can be upgraded to any one of seven different classes, depending on his alignment. In the table below, such classes are sorted by alignment, the Samurai being the "most good" and the Ninja the "most evil".

Tigermen and Werewolves revert to their human form in daytime.

The Dragon and the Giant can be upgraded to different classes depending on their alignment. Following the criterion from the table above, Silver Dragon and Titan are the "most good", while Black Dragon and Fire Giant are the "most evil".

Sorcerers and Liches can summon undead units (Skeleton, Ghost, Wraith, Phantom) anywhere, not only in towns.

Amazon group families
An Amazon can be upgraded to any one of four different classes. In the table below, such classes are sorted by alignment, the Cleric being the "most good" and the Witch the "most evil". Unlike the other ones, the Princess class is independent from alignment: it can be obtained by equipping an Amazon with a Royal Crown.

A Witch must be equipped with a Glass Pumpkin in order to summon Pumpkins.

Iron Golem
The Iron Golem is not part of any family. It can only be obtained in two ways: (1) In Antalia, if you find and liberate a hidden Temple; (2) in Organa, if you meet it as a neutral character and befriend it.

Class alignment
A high alignment represents holiness, a low alignment is evil.
