Com2uS dropped a new class reveal video on the official Zeus: God of Pride YouTube channel this 10th, giving us a look at the eight classes arriving at launch. The footage breaks down the four core classes, their progression paths, and the specialized roles players can expect after promotion. This follows the second episode of the developer diary series, 'Director's Insight', where Averton's Director Jung Sung-hoon and Creative Director Kim Tae-woo discussed their design philosophy and the inclusion of AI-driven convenience systems.

Zeus: God of Pride kicks off with four base classes: Warrior, Rogue, Mage, and Paragon. Each of these branches into two distinct paths, bringing the total count to eight classes upon release. The Warrior, tasked with holding the frontline, can evolve into a Knight—using sword and shield to soak up damage for allies—or a Berserker, wielding a massive greatsword to dish out heavy punishment. Meanwhile, the Rogue thrives on mobility and surprise, splitting into the dagger-wielding Assassin or the bow-toting Ranger.

The Mage class focuses on spellcasting for both offense and utility. Players can choose to master elemental magic as an Elementalist or take on the role of an Oracle to heal and protect the party. Then there is the Paragon, a class line unique to Zeus: God of Pride; it consists of the Blessed, a holy knight archetype, and the Artisan, which focuses on economic gameplay. Every class comes equipped with two signature skills, allowing players to swap between them based on the combat situation or personal playstyle.

In the previously released 'Director's Insight' episode 2 on the 8th, the team detailed their approach to class design alongside various convenience features. They introduced 'Odysseia', a suite of competitive content tailored to different progression levels, including the Tower of Infinity, Hall of Trials, Guild Raids, Colosseum, and the Arcadia Festival. To take the edge off the typical stress of competitive modes, the developer has implemented 'Persona'—AI entities that mimic a player's appearance and strength—so you can test your mettle without the immediate pressure of a real-time face-off.

The standout convenience feature is undoubtedly the AI mode. Accessible with a single button, it is designed to keep your character grinding, hunting, and progressing even when you have closed the game client. The flow remains seamless, and the system is robust enough to resume operations automatically even after server maintenance. While this AI mode is active, you can still monitor and manage your growth, crafting, gear enhancements, collections, and trading activities.

The goal of this AI mode is to strip away the grind's tedium while leaving the reins in the player's hands when it matters most. It even includes a 'Conscription' system, where your character can contribute to guild activities like boss raids even while you are offline, ensuring you stay relevant to your guild's progress without needing to be glued to the screen 24/7.
