    Winged elves are both too squishy to win

    Tideborn might have the highest damage output, but are also squishy

    Untamed would hold out for a while, but their damage output is lower

    Humans would have a decent chance, although wizzies would die a lot.

    Earthguard have both survivability and high damage output, as well as the two classes being able to work together really well. my vote goes to EG.
    Camlyra-Raging Tides. Since the avatar is broken.

    I'd say Earthguard, since technically they're already demi-gods according the games lore (I mean, the mystic's salvation IS a goddess if you pay attention to the quest that gives her summon)

    Although Winged Elves would be able to keep getting back up (assuming they aren't interrupted b:laugh)

    Untamed...Would depend on what veno pets fight and whether the barbs all have primal skills

    Tideborn would basically just annoy each side to death...

    Earthguards probably have the best balance as a duo. Mystics are good DDs and can heal too, plus they have some debuffs. Seekers also have some debuffs (the combo thingy), can make some good combos/kills and are rather tanky.

    My vote goes for Earthguards as well.

    Barbs run in to tank, venos purge everyone, together they one-shot all the unbuffed enemies and live happily ever after.

    Humans. Both BMs and Wizards have extreme tankiness, with Blademasters having great CC and the best debuff in the game. Even with Wizards and BMs having not-so-good damage output, their tankiness+debuffs would let them rek errbody

    When it comes to lore I'd give it to earthguard. We already know the original three races stalemate each other, know the tideborn just hide in their islands not caring, and according to the lore the Earthguard are apparently the backup "**** got real we need you demi-gods awake now" people.

    So if they were to be involved in a war, they'd probably take it.


    Of course... this assumes a straight fight where the various races act stupidly instead of using the subterfuge and sneakiness they've shown they're clearly willing to use. Odds are everyone would dogpile the earthguard first as they'd be an obvious threat and once they were taken care of, it would devolve into a free-for-all between the others with them constantly trying to 1-up and sabotage each other.

    Humans: would pull off the most badass win IF they did manage to pull out a win. (obviously each class has their finer points, but still I do feel that they would pull off the most epic win if they did manage to win.)

    Elves: Buffs + Purge + heals = Rawr (Personally I feel they would struggle just as much as humans if not more.. Though these two would have far more killing power than the human race)

    Untamed: Not Sure how they're winning the poll, but I guess they would be a fearsome duo, especially with primals. (The barb could be ridiculously difficult to take down.)

    Earthguard: As others said they have a ridiculously strong balance, and everyone should fear these two classes when they're at the top of their game.

    Tideborn: Their damage output = SCARY, between elimination, and a psys atk lvl boost they could potentially drop even the strongest of barbs in no time at all.

    --

    EDIT: Really ANY race could win it, especially if they can get their strength to outshine ANY of their weaknesses.

    Yup, but for the EG then they all can ress and then kill all barbs and venos that are out of chi, venos and barbs without buff aren't that hard to kill.

    I voted for EG, but I think it would either be EG or WE, due to their capacity to heal and ress/revive.

    A purged EG cant ress. And Untameds will not not kill EGs, they would kill puffbirds / squirrels / tiggys.

    I'm putting my money on the Elven race: End-game clerics are far from squishy and could easily be tanks as well. Archers aoe-purge with BoA: imagine a TW-scenario: 40 archers and half of them BoA, who'd survive that?
    The clerics heal/buff/revive/debuff the seeker/barbs breaking their defense even more. EG might be hard to kill in 1v1 battles, but since Archers have the best ranged aoe's, that doesn't matter much and EG will receive hits from several archers at once. Buffed Elven Vs. Purged EG, it might be close but I'd say the elves :P

    When it comes to Lore it's earthguard obviously, but those are just stories b:avoid

    Winged Elves. For the following reasons...ranged attacked, a plethora of CC's from both combined. Great healing poowers. The ability to revive the fallen. Best buffs. Good debuffs. Purification on debuffs. Seal of God. Physical, Magical, and Metal debuffs...and both classes use physical and metal attacks.

    Earthguard would be second closest, but an archers range is insane. They have good kiting abilities, and both have antistealth. They do have range on their side, just not to the degree as the elves. They can also heal and resurrect. The difference however, is when you're down....you're down with them.

    Untamed Race would be an issue. They are the most tanky combined race, and the purges and supreme debuffs are nothing to sneeze at. Also, they're the fastest moving race, so they can cover ground. Not to mention, you aren't just fighting them. You're fighting a plethora of pets too. Making them a pain. Deadly, but. The lack of consistent heals would eventually whittle them down.

    Tideborn: fairly tied with the untamed. They have the best total offense, whereas untamed has best total defense. They can hit hard and fast, and an assassin has range right under a sage archer (35 meter range for sin ranged skills.) So they can close the gap. They're chi fountains. All the while, the psy is nuking with aoe's hitting nearly as hard as a wizzie...but much faster.

    Wraith Army: Tons of classes. Tons of bosses. Thing is, they get owned on a regular basis, so their record kind of speaks for itself.

    Humans: they die first. Wizzies will still be casting their first spell by the time the battle ends. Healing can be an issue here. They've got powerful attacks and debuffs on their side. And speed. They just happen to be outshined. Their tankiness gets outshined. Their nukes get outshined when a psy does 3 to a wizzies 1. They'll fight valiantly...but I think they'll die first.

    That's my opinion on how it would go. Lol.

    Winged Elves have my vote.
    Whatever actually makes it through the barrage of arrows that archers would lay down, would end up being sealed/silenced to ineffectiveness by clers. High damage output (ele and phys on both classes), good buffs, control skills, regenerative (and counter regenerative when a cler is in VD) and ranged. Drawback is lower endurance, but that's what revive is for.

    I do not know what you people are talking about that earthguard would win according to role seriously?

    Humans would win the fight why?
    Because all the OP characters in the game are humans.
    All the S+ characters are humans like the Light Emperor Alexander.
    All the major cities Achosaur and 1000 Streams controlled by? humans of course.

    Humans would just outnumber all other classes because if you notice in the game the majority of npc are humans and the most powerful cities and the most towns are controlled by humans too.

    Also the most powerful characters in the game are humans too.


    Now if we talking about players controlling the characters and in game classes.
    Well elf would probably win what is a faction without archers and clerics in tw?
    range + heal + res + buffs + purges.


    Tideborn have elimination so they can take out people fast while the physics tanks.
    but without buff sadly they would not tank as efficiently

    War doesn't prove anything at all. It won't prove who's right. It only shows who is left.
    There could be survivors from certain race or no one at all.
