About
Putting you in the shoes of a newly appointed principal, your role in Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story is to build and manage an academy to train the heroes, mages and adventurers of tomorrow! This also means that everyday decisions lie in your hand: Do you tell a student that’s late for class off or make an indulgent exception? Will you only accept the best and brightest upstarts or also give apprentices with bad stats a chance to prove their potential? Help them develop into the greatest heroes they can be, guiding them through three core disciplines and six specialized sub-classes:
- Knight: Armored students with strong physiques to bear the brunt of melee combat.
- Magi: Highly intelligent students who command powerful magic.
- Scout: Stealthy and dexterous students, perfect for hidden strikes.
- Arc Draconus: Knights who trained with dragons and lived.
- Arquebusier: Scouts who excel in marksmanship.
- Scholarsage: Magi who study the arcane knowledge of the world.
- Harlequin: Scouts who practice acting and acrobatics.
- Paladin: Knights who have been anointed to protect others.
- Medica: Magi who master the arts of healing.
