Class Guide
Updated 2026-06-04
Illusion Connect Re features four distinct classes: Attacker, Guard, Healer, and Sorcerer. Each class has unique passive traits that activate during battle. Understanding class interactions is the foundation of any good <a href="/guides/best-team-compositions/">Best Team Compositions</a>.
Class Mechanics
| Class | Passive | Counter | Weak Against |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attacker | +15% Crit vs low-HP targets | Sorcerer | Guard |
| Guard | Damage reduction when HP < 50% | Attacker | Sorcerer (AoE bypass) |
| Healer | Bonus heal on Crit | Guard | Attacker (OS) |
| Sorcerer | AoE ignores 20% DEF | Guard | Attacker |
Attacker Class
Attackers specialize in eliminating priority targets. Their passive grants bonus critical chance against enemies below 50% HP. Top Attackers include Maki, Nicola, and Rikia. For optimal gear setups, refer to the <a href="/guides/gear-guide/">Gear Guide</a>.
Guard Class
Guards are tanks with damage reduction passives when critically wounded. They excel at protecting your backline and controlling enemy positioning. Awakening a Guard (see <a href="/guides/awakening-guide/">Awakening Guide</a>) significantly boosts their survivability.
Healer Class
Healers provide sustain and in some cases resurrection. Critical heals can turn the tide of battle. Anna, Ming, and Diana (hybrid Guard/Healer) are top picks. Healers benefit immensely from class-specific soul bonds detailed in the <a href="/guides/soul-bond-guide/">Soul Bond Guide Guide</a>.
Sorcerer Class
Sorcerers deal AoE damage that bypasses a percentage of enemy defense. Miyuki and Fenebeth are must-have Sorcerers. Their ability to pressure all five enemy slots makes them indispensable for events and raids — see the <a href="/guides/event-guide/">Event Guide</a> for recommended Sorcerer lineups.
FAQ
- Which class is best for beginners?
- Start with a balanced team: 1 Guard (Phoebe), 1 Healer (Anna), 1 Sorcerer (Miyuki), and 2 Attackers. This covers all class mechanics.
- Do classes have hidden bonuses?
- Yes. Each class has a passive that activates automatically. For example, Sorcerers ignore 20% DEF on AoE attacks — this is not shown on the character card.
