If you are here then you probably clicked on your Classpect (class & aspect) and wondering what da hell is goin on.
Aspects and Classes will give you abilities as you level up to defeat your enemies in combat with varied results from taking health from enemies to heal yourself, or boosting your attack speed to Star Platinum your enemies to oblivion. (like the reference?)
Aspects and have their own abilities, but combined with Classes make new abilities with even more power, which can be active or passive, passive being boosts to yourself and friends, or debuffs to enemies, and active being, well, an active ability.

Now the game doesn't tell you what you can do before the game starts, and you are forced to level up and check your abilities in the menu in order to see. But people like me exist, people who want to know before the game starts. This guide is for those people.

There are a lot of abilities and numbers and text in this guide so feel free to use the TOC (table of contents) for your convenience.

I hope you learn something from this, and I hope you have fun in The Genesis Project.

Now lets get to main part of this guide. :)

P.S. If I get ANYTHING wrong in this guide do not hesitate to correct me or give suggestions, cause this is my first guide I have ever made lol and I'm not to smart involving this stuff.

"Aspects are the basic building blocks of everything that exists within paradox space."

But in the genesis project, they are the funny symbols on your screen that give you cool powers.
These abilities are set in stone, so they cannot be changed by class, and are most likely the first abilities you get in the game. These abilities all have cooldowns, so these are active abilities.
Good thing for me there aren't that many abilities to type for, bad thing for you as in you don't get much cool stuff to use, but that's where the class comes in.

We will start with the Breath aspect and end with the Hope aspect.

Breath is the aspect of change, freedom, direction, confidence, and wind.
This aspect along with its class will be able to use abilities based on the things involving with Breath.


SO! If you choose this aspect, you will get one aspect ability, which will be:



It's a Bird: you will fly in the direction you are facing.




That's it for Breath. Round of applause.
In all seriousness this ability isn't bad.

The Life aspect is about, now get this: LIFE. crazy.
Most if not all abilities involving this aspect will be about Life and Health.

Here are the life abilities:

Flourish: You heal nearby players.
Lightbeam: You summon a cool beam of light, damaging enemies but healing players.

This one is a good aspect in my opinion.

The aspect of Light is associated with fortune, luck, knowledge, and literal light.
The abilities will be based off these epic things.

Abey: Use this epic thing to blind all nearby enemies.

"Only one ability?"

It could be worse, really...

Time is one of the two basic fabrics of paradox space. This aspect is about time travel and exploits.
You won't reverse time or go into the future, but time shenanigans will be involved.

Time Distortion: This ability will speed up time for yourself.
Clone: You summon a clone from a doomed timeline. (scary)

An essential aspect with cool powers.

This aspect is comparable to the soul, aka the essence of being. Abilities will involve electricity, and the soul


Astonish: Use this ability to shoot a beam of electricity towards your cursor.
Fluctuate: Toggle this to shock enemies.

Has nothing to do with charming or love.

This aspect is pretty cool. This one is about negative emotions, rage, and brute strength.
So the abilities based on this one are pretty dangerous.

Empower: Your next attack is now going to stun your opponent.
Turmoil: You toggle this to make any enemy you hit go beserk, which makes it hit anything and anyone around it with no sense of safety and self preservation.

"PURPLE GUY!?!"

This one takes to a weird turn. This one is about friendship, bonds and unity. A good leader aspect.

Blood abilities include:

Propaganda: You convert enemies to your side temporarily.


No one is immune to propaganda.

This one is a little morbid. Doom is about fate, death, sacrifice. But it is also about rules, restrictions, futility, and judgement.

So the abilities for this one are:

Judgement: enemies are weakened when near your cursor.
Wrath: This summons a pillar that pushes back and damages enemies.

Everybody gangsta till Doom rolls around.

One of my favorite aspects, this one is about nothingness, and obfuscation of knowledge.

The abilities are pretty weird.

Tarot Card: Fire a random projectile.
Disillusion: This is one is cool, it makes you go invisible.


Invisible is technically obscuring knowledge so go off I guess.

Space is the other basic fabric of paradox space. Space is about size, velocity, position, physics, and creation.

The abilities involve space travel and position which include:

Appear: This one makes you teleport where your cursor is.
Push: This ability pushes all enemies back.

Space is one hell of a drug.

The Mind aspect involves thoughts, decisions, consequences, karma, and justice.

Abilities based on Mind are dangerous and form a somewhat support role which includes:

Abey: This ability stuns enemies caught in the cone-shaped blast.


No thoughts head empty moment.

Hope embodies literal hope and holy powers (kinda). It also embodies belief.
It's a pretty simple aspect when you think about it.

but the ability is pretty cool:

Bravery: This covers a target with a shield that deflects attacks, dealing damage to the attacker.

Don't know if you can target enemies with the shield.
One can only find out.

The other half of your title, a class is your role as the player. It determines how you use your aspect. Whether to destroy the aspect or destroying with the aspect, or manipulating the aspect or with it, each class is powerful in its own special way. The abilities that come with the combined classpect will come after the aspect abilities, but they are better or on par with the aspect abilities.

There are 12 classes each with their own abilities and purposes, either being damage dealers or support roles, you can always rely on each other for being epic class gamers.

We will start with the Witch and end with Slyph.
this is going to be a lot of info so be ready.

The witch is able to manipulate the aspect or manipulate with the aspect it is given.
From powers ranging from damage to support, its not a bad idea to have a witch by your side.
Witch abilities have both active abilities and passive.

Blood - a little bit strange, kills drop souls that, if collected, will boost a stat depending on the enemy killed for a short time

Not a bad idea to have one of these people with you. Just give them a chance to take out a couple of baddies.

The mage's deal is about taking an enemies life in order to boost themselves for future battles. Along with knowing with and through their aspects. A solo class built to sustain themselves and to give a look out for their allies. Gives a small support role.
