Characters
The main statisctics that the character has are HP (Health Point), MP (Mana Point), and Exp (Experience).
HP represents the char's Health Point. The char will be defeated or die if his/her HP become zero.
MP represents the char's Mana Point. MP is used for skills or magic. The char can't cast/use any magic/skills if the MP isn't enough.
Exp represents the Experience. You can get a number of exp by defeating enemy in a battle. The more exp you get the more you increase your level. When you get level up, then you will get four stats point to be allocated permanently to your stats.
The character stats are divided into
Strength
Constitution
Intelligence
Spirit
Dexterity
There are four classes character in Canaan,
Warrior : Tanker
The strongest character in Canaan, with high Health Point and Defense. Warrior will be the shield for your team. But, warrior has low defense against magic and medium attack to enemy.
Personal Suggestion :
> Raise up all of your stats points to constitution for full tanker warrior type.
> Pet type Attack -> Damage Dealer Pet high intelligence (e.g cerberus,rotten bug, shadow jack o'lantern). Pet's Position: back.
> Pet type Possession -> Go for high constitution and strength (e.g plain pig, android 16, metal shrimp).
Warrior's Skills
Assault : Single target close range physical attack.
Taunt : Taunt the opposite party, has a certain probability of becoming the enemy's target.
Chivalry : Absorbs a certain percentage of damage for a certain period of time.
Warrior's Talents
Mars : Becoming an offensive Warrior
Guard : Becoming a defensive Warrior. Since Warrior's speciality is his high HP and Defense, this talent is very recommended if you want to join a party.
Ranger : Hitter
Ranger is good for beginner, because it is easy to be played. Ranger has medium ability in every aspect. A balance character but ranger can be very dangerous with his/her critical attack and high accuracy, avoidance and dodge.
Personal Suggestion :
> Raise up all of your stats points to dexterity for full hitter ranger type.
> Pet type Attack -> Damage Dealer Pet high intelligence (e.g cerberus,rotten bug, shadow jack o'lantern). Pet's Position: back.
> Pet type Possesson -> Go for high dexterity and mid constitution (e.g android 18, corpse bat)
Ranger's Skills
Centralized Arrow : Single target ranged physical atack.
Clever : Raises movement speed.
Armor Piercing Fire : Single target ranged physical attack, that reduces the enemy's defense.
Ranger's Talents
Freedom : Becoming a defensive Ranger. You can have a high avoidance, but low critical hit.
Rage : Becoming an offensive Ranger. You can have a high critical hit, but low avoidance.
Mage : Damage Dealer / Buffer Debuffer
Mage has the most deadly attack. With high intelligence, mage will be the damage dealer for your team. Mage can cast a buff or debuff magic too. But mage has a low physical defense, so you must be careful to enemy's ranger.
Personal Suggestion :
> Raise up all of your stats points to intelligence for full damage dealer mage type.
> Pet type Attack -> Go for high constitution and strength (e.g plain pig, android 16, metal shrimp). Pet's Position: front.
> Pet type Possesson -> Go for high intelligence and mid constitution (e.g cerberus,rotten bug, shadow jack o'lantern).
Mage's Skills
Fireball : Deals Fire magic damage.
Icicle : Deals Ice magic damage, and has a certain probability of reducing the enemy's movement speed.
Calmness : Has a certain removal probability of the enemy's positive buffs.
Mage's Talents
Fire : Becoming an offensive mage. Since mage has a very big damage, so become the offensive type is very recommended.
Ace : Becoming a supportive mage. This type of mage will have many buff and debuff magic.
Priest : Healer / Support
Another magician whose speciality is to heal the wounds. Priest will be your team healer and support. Priest can cast buff and debuff magic too, but it is weaker than the magician magic. Priest has low damage and low defense. So protect your priest from your enemies.
Personal Suggestion :
> Raise up all of your stats points to intelligence for full healer priest type.
> Pet type Attack -> Go for high constitution and strength (e.g plain pig, android 16, metal shrimp). Pet's Position: front.
> Pet type Possesson -> Go for high intelligence and mid constitution (e.g cerberus,rotten bug, shadow jack o'lantern).
Priest's Skills
Sacred Light : Single target sacred magic arts attack.
Devotion : Heals target's HP.
Dark Shadow : Single target dark magic arts attack, has a probability to continually damage the enemy.
Priest's Talent
Darkness : Becoming a supportive priest. This type of priest will have buff and debuff magic.
Holy Monster : Becoming a healer priest. Since only priest that can do this skills, so it is very recommended.
Battle System

Speed's turn is based on character's/pet's dexterity
Char/pet with high dexterity will get turn more quicly
Auto Mode
When at auto mode, your character will take action based on your default skills/item on your skills/item slot
If this skill or item need some mp (mana points), and your character doesn't have it, then your character will automatically take an item to fill up your mp
If you don't have any item to fill up the mp, then your character will hit the enemy by the regular attack
Manual Mode
At this mode, you must take control of your character's action
You must choose the skill/item then
You must choose the target
Then your character will act
If you don't choose the target, then your character will stay idle on the battle
Pet: Attack/Idle Mode
Sometimes your pet will take one hit kill blow to the enemy.
If this happen, your char can't capture the hunt pet.
Then go to Idle Mode, so your pet won't take action, and you can capture hunt pet more easily.
During the battle, you cannot use pet provision to heal or fill up mp of your pet
Pet System
