--Some of the names might not match because most of the data are obtained from the PSP version of Class of Heroes 2 which has a different English translation, this will be fixed later on--

The Purpose of this Guide
-To give new players some basic idea on what they will do to fully enjoy the game and suffer less from the hardships they will face in this game.

Note about Storage and Inventory
-Back in Class of Heroes 1, all of the character has their own small inventory so when they get lost, all of their belongings disappeared. In Class of Heroes 2, the character inventory is gone and the whole party has 1 big inventory that can store up to 100 items. Don't forget to put them in your storage in Crostini (the starting school). You still need to bring out items out of your storage once you need them for synthesizing, however.

Last Note
-Sorry in advance for the bad grammar. English is not my main language, and this guide may not update for a long while too. It might turn into a more proper guide when I feel like it.

We first start by creating characters or enrolling students via the Office.
Here's what you need to know when creating characters.

Bonus points (BP)
-When you create a character, the game gives you a random BP from 1 (it can happen to you) to a staggering 60! You tend to get 10 most of the time and rarely get a 30. If you want to fish out more starting BP, just keep entering and exiting the Enroll section till you get the desired amount of BP. Since there is no limit to doing this, may the RNG goddess smile upon you.

Base Character Stats

• Strength-STR
  -Increases the Physical Damage of your character and skills.
  
• Wisdom-WIS
  -Increases the Magical Damage of your character and their debuff spell's success rate.
  
• Faith-FTH
  -Increases the power of your character's Healing and Magic Resistance.
  
• Vitality-VIT
  -Increases maximum HP gain on level up and chance of being revived.
  
• Agility-AGI
  -Affects how fast your character takes action in combat(who will attack first) and success rate of fleeing and thievery skills.
  
• Luck-LCK
  -Affects the success rate of thievery skills and increases the chance of dealing critical hit.

Additional Stats

• Accuracy
  -Determines the success rate of landing attacks.
  
• Evade
  -Determines the success rate of evading enemy attacks.
  
• Defense
  -Reduces damage from enemy's physical attacks.
  
• Number of Hits
  -This stat can only be seen in your weapons damage (the one with multiplier) and determines how many times they will attack with said weapons. Knuckles are the one with the highest number of hits but its downside is it lacks the immediate damage.

Race Exclusive Skills

• Breath
  deals damage on enemies. number of hits depends on level.
  
• Floating
  Allows the character to float: avoiding trap tiles, deep water tiles, and can't be dispelled by anti-magic tiles. Warp tile can still affect you, however.
  
• Protection
  Negates instant-death attacks.

Alignments

• Good-G
  
• Neutral-N
  
• Evil-E

Alignments can be change by consuming Fruit of Good or Fruit of Evil multiple times. A friendly encounter can also affect their alignment points. it takes a while for the alignment to update, and there are times when your neutral character is actually good/evil. it will only update your characters actual alignment when he/she is fed by their respective good or evil fruit AND have done their respective good or evil encounter.

Note!
Affinity of the characters in a party should be Good and Neutral or Neutral and Evil. it will increase above 100% every time you use party skills. Going for Good and Evil party will significantly drop the alignments below 50%!

Friendly Encounter

• Attack
  All party member's alignment will slowly turn to Evil
  
• Watch
  No alignment change
  
• Leave
  All party member's alignment will slowly turn to Good

-Affinity is the overall conditions of your party liking each other. All of the party members starts at 100% and depending on the race and alignment, it can either increase or decrease. maximum alignment is 200%. Affects how much your Tension Gauge increases.

Tension/Morale Gauge
Tension/Morale gauge is the bar in your upper right corner. It allows your party to perform party skills.

Party/Group skills

• Blazing Fist
  Damages all enemies and ignores enemy defenses.
  Requirements: 2 Fighter-type characters
  Tension Bar Cost: 50
  
  
• Dance Rapture
  Basically a strong version of Blazing Fist.
  Requirements: 1 Fighter + Berserker or Beast-type characters
  Tension Bar Cost: 75
  
  
• The Great Escape
  100% chance escape except certain special battles.
  Requirements: 1 Thief-type characters
  Tension Bar Cost: 10
  
  
• Wall Summon
  Physical and magic shield on a selected character only.
  Requirements 2 Mage-type characters
  Tension Bar Cost: 40
  
  
• MP Doubling
  Doubles the magic effects of a selected character. Works well with certain spells.
  Requirements 2 Mage-type characters
  Tension Bar Cost: 50
  
  
• Focus Fire
  Sure hit attacks on the first row of enemies.
  Requirements: 2 Fighter-type characters
  Tension Bar cost: 40
  
  
• Magic Purify
  Heals debuffs and fully restore HP. Can't revive.
  Requirements: Any.
  Tension Bar Cost: 50

We first start by making an optimal party to survive early.
This is my recommended starting class set-up:

Front Row

• Fighter
  
• Fighter
  
• Fighter

Back Row

• Ranger
  
• Mage
  
• (another) Mage or Idol

Note: Characters in the Back Row can't attack if they have a weapon range of S (Short) but spellcasters (Sorcerers) can still cast offensive magics against enemies. Any Front Row party members that gets knocked out, paralyzed, sleep, or fear will be placed in the back row automatically and will come back to their original position when their debuffs expire
this recommended party also ignores the party affinity.


Recommended Races

• I recommend getting the Bahamoon, and/or Daiblos as your fighter that will act as tank.
  
• Bahamoon can be turned into a Dragoknight for a guardian tank.
  
• Diablos can be turned into a Ninja so replace the ranger and can act as a dodge tank with lots of spells and utilities.
  
• Khulaz can be a Ranger for Trap Disarming.
  
  Quick note: If you didn't know, chests have the probability to be trapped and can easily cause unwarranted deaths if you are not careful. Best be smart about it! Or in this case: Get Lucky. Literally. Chest disarming depends on the Luck stat and it just so happens that Khulaz has a high Luck Stat.
  
  Apart from that, Khulaz can later on be turned into a Geomancer for increased EXP, Money and drop rate.

Mage Section
My race recommendation by category will include:

• Offensive-oriented Mage:
  Elf or Diablos since they have high Wisdom.
  
• Healer-oriented Mage:
  Celestia since they have high Faith. Healing scales heavily on it.
  
• Quick Caster Mage
  Due to Fairy's naturally high Agility stats, they tend to perform action first which is a big help if you need to open up a big magic spells or immediately heal allies who received huge damage from previous turn.
  Fairy can be turned into a Sage to access even more stronger spells.
  
• Support/Buffer-oriented Mage
  Gnome works best as an idol due to its high Wisdom and Faith. The Idol class has access to some decent healing spells and a lot of good buffs.
  Alternatively, you can turn your Gnome into a Alchemist for the item crafting on the go.

-As a good memo to keep, do not spam offense spells with Mages in the early game. Save MP to heal your front liners and/or curing debuffs. Once you unlock the spells that can hit an entire row of enemies, you can consider using MP for their offense there.

You may be able to change classes at any point in the game, but do keep in mind their level resets to 1.

You only have 1 dungeon accessible at the very beginning and its the Forest of Beginnings.

Your first goal at this stage is to raise their level to 3-4 and acquire decent equipment purely as drops.

Take the Mr. Galenus' Syringe quest which is a repeatable quest. This quest needs you to obtain and deliver an item called Sharp Needle. This quest will reward you with a random synthesis material at first, but the subsequent submissions will reward 3 Fire Hex. It comes with the added bonus of filling up your Tension Gauge by 20 per quest completion.

note! a lot of quest in Class of Heroes 2 has bad rewards and most of them makes you waste money without them returning said wasted money.

Forest of Beginnings doesn't give much EXP and money so only farm until levels 3-4 before aiming to unlock the next is the Witch's Forest and the Cassata Desert. These will unlock when you take the Crostini quest: Volone's Wish.

Witch's Forest gives a decent chunk of money and EXP but it has a lot of difficult enemies (watch out for Raadish and Tongueba-s) and the first map that'd throw in a lot of traps and mechanics to each area.



about story progression
after reaching a certain story quest, all of the side quest in crostini will disappear and can not be undone unless you restart from scratch.
quest located in the upper most section are the main quest while the quest in the lower section are the side quests.

Dungeons are full of trap tiles and those traps could outright wipe your entire party so thread carefully!
Always buy maps before entering any new maps or dungeons.

Here are the known trap tiles.

Trap Tiles

• Warp Tile
  warps your party to a predetermined location. it wont kill you but you most of the time but can lead to some nasty area filled with other trap tiles. you sometimes need to take warp tile to progress. cant be evaded by float.
  
  
• Deep Tile
  The game will stop you to thread deep tiles but teleporting to a deep tile will result to killing your characters without any Float. Can be traversed with the Floatir spell or Float equipment/race passive safely. The Floatir spell can be cancelled by anti-magic tile.
  
  
• Anti-magic Tile
  Prevents you to use magic and instantly removes persistent buffs. Some deep tiles has anti-magic tiles in it so you better get an equipment or race that has float in it because this wont be canceled by the anti magic spell.
  
  
• Shock Tile
  Stepping on this tile will damage all of your characters and nay cause a party wipe if your characters are low level. Can be evaded by Float.
  
  
• Turn Tile
  The nastiest of all the nastiest trap tile. It will confuse your orientation and force you to face a random direction when stepped on. Seems completely harmless? Well, it almost always comes with the combo of a Shock Wall or mechanics that require precision-based traversal.
  
  
• Shock Wall
  The Shock Tile on walls. Bumping into this will damage your entire party. Cannot be evaded by Float.
  
  
• Slide Tiles
  These tiles force you to slide to the direction you were originally moving to until you bumped to a wall or the tile outside the Slide Tile. Some maps utilize Slide Tiles as a form of puzzle. Cannot be evaded by Float
  
  
• Push Tile
  These tiles will push your party to a more specific direction. mostly towards another push tile and rarely to any of aforementioned Trap Tiles. Most dungeons utilize push tiles as a form of puzzle. Cannot be evaded by Float.

ALWAYS BRING THESE ITEMS!!!

• Any items that cures specific or all debuffs/ailments.
  
• Crystal Orb or Return Tickets for easy dungeon escape in case your healer/tank dies.
  
• Respective area maps.
  
• Some healing consumables for when your healers run out of mana.

IMPORTANT NOTE
This game has perma-death so be careful!
Its stages include:

• Death
  -The state your character will fall into when their HP reaches zero. At this stage, they can simply be revived via Clinic / Infirmary or by using a Revive spell / items. If reviving succeeds, they will come back to life with 1hp. Some spells will revive them with outright full HP. There's a chance to fail this and they move on to the Ash state.
  
  
• Ash
  -Okay. It's as bad as it sounds. Characters in this state is in a dangerous spot of being outright deleted from the playthrough. But all hope isn't lost despite that. The Clinic / Infirmary and certain items still can bring them back to 1 HP as if revived from Death state as normal, but this time they'd have a chance to fail and they'd end up being Lost.
  
  
• Lost
  -Gone. Reduced to atoms. Non-existence.
  Any character triggering this state will be gone forever alongside their items.
  
  As of writing this guide(and even back then in the PSP era of CoH2) i haven't found any way to fully recover lost characters. I like to believe there is a way to bring them back to life again that I just haven't stumbled upon yet.

As such, there is absolutely no need to brute force fights, FLEE from combat if an encounter is too hard.

Good areas to level farming
please comment down below where you are leveling

• Witch's Forest - Signs Mark Your Trail
  hunt down the dragon enemies (Tongueba) and the turnip looking enemies (Raadish).
  Be careful as this area is filled to the brim with anti-magic tiles.
  
• Just move there then move to x:19 y:12 then proceed to the "Where Everyone Stopped" warp then go back to "Signs Mark Your Trail" warp and to x:17 y:12 battle node. Just make sure that your party can take a hit when you do this method.

Alternatively, the Infirmary in Crostini (or the infirmaries of any of the other schools) has a Donate function. This will convert 1 gold into 1 exp. Farm that money, and bank it into the characters.

Class of Heroes 2 Map WIP
Area and Dungeon names are based on the PSP version and will be updated later






i wont spoil much but you will return to Class of Heroes 1 world
class of heroes 1 and class of heroes 2 has a different world, i wont spoil how they will get connected

• Bruschetta Dormitory
  -The Dormitory's labels in Bruschetta are messed up in order but still working, respective to the other schools.
  
• Can't change to Panini exclusive classes
  -Can't change the non-Panini student classes into Panini exclusive classes (needs further testing to limit test all that fit this category)

Witch's Forest may be a steep difficulty curve, but if you survive all that--

Congratulations!

You are now ready to tackle even harder upcoming dungeons. You can now explore the game on your own ways.

I do hope this guide has helped you lessen all the frustration that comes along with it being an old game. Most importantly, enjoy the game! and don't drop your Ash, friends

i actually made this guide for my dear friend who i invited to play the original class of heroes 2 in psp but didnt last due to how difficult it is and she has ZERO guides at all! she literally played it blindly. now, with the help of this guide, she has progress way far from me and has a more stronger characters and she can even solo level them all!
