Suggested characters
At the beginning of the game, you should fight monsters to increase HP and money. In order to do so, you need to fight enemies physically. Therefore, whatever character class and race you choose, it is better to start with Agility and Strength as high as possible.

In the following example, four characters were created by combining races and classes with similar bonuses.
