Creating Your Character in Ragnarok Origin: ROO

The first thing that any player is required to do is create their unique virtual character.

You can choose from any of the 6 mainstream classes: 

• Swordsman

• Mage

• Acolyte

• Thief

• Merchant

• Archer

After creating your character, you will start at the Rookie academy. Your journey begins by defining your nickname.

Understanding the Combat System of Ragnarok Origin: ROO

Ragnarok Origin: ROO follows a standard action combat system where players can cast their abilities at the tap of a button. Different buttons are designated for basic attacks, skills, and running. You can dodge incoming attacks by pressing the dodge button. The best way to get adjusted to the combat system is by simply playing the game. Tutorial missions will introduce you to the combat system, showing you how to use normal attacks and skills such as Play Dead and First Aid. Here are some core terminologies that you must understand as a new player:

Manual Combat – Use skills and basic attacks manually

Auto Combat – Automatically use all the skills you have configured in the settings    

Passive skills do not need to be defined anywhere and are always active. They generally add attributes and effects to your character.

Active skills are skills that must be used to take effect. Your active skills are assigned through the Skills window and can be set manually or in Automatic mode. 

Auto Mode – Combat has an “Auto” mode that seeks out enemies and uses skills set in the auto bar on its own. Attack skills are used after their cooldown, but buff skills are only used when their duration runs out, so they don’t waste time.

Ragnarok Origin: ROO – All About the Arena Game Mode

Once a character reaches base level 40 or above, they can participate in the 3-on-3 team battle known as The Arena. The only times the Arena event is held are on Wednesdays from 8:25 to 9:00p.m. Members of the team do not have to belong to the same clan. You can participate in the battle as long as your team consists of three people. But, the system will automatically fill the empty slots for you until you have a full three-person team if you are unable to find a full three-person team.

Proceed to the upper right section of the city of Izlude after completing the Clan Banquet event. There is a Knight NPC there by the name of Arena Manager. Select the option to join the battle after speaking with the arena manager. After that, the system will send your character to the lobby, where you must wait to be paired with other players.  

After the player selection process is complete, you will enter the Arena battle phase. Each member of your team will have 5 lives, totaling 15 lives for the entire team. If a character dies, one life will be deducted and they will randomly respawn on the map. However, if any player reaches 5 kills, they will no longer be able to respawn and contribute to the battle.

If a team manages to eliminate all 15 lives of the opposing team first, they will be declared the winner. On the other hand, if a team reaches a total of 15 kills before eliminating the opposing team, they will be the losers. However, if the battle reaches the time limit and neither team has reached 15 kills, the team with the most lives remaining will be declared as the winner.
