Demon
The Demon is a recent addition of the Resistance, introduced in the Legend Update. The Demon was once a powerful subordinate for the Black Wings until his partners sold him out and took out his loved ones. Now, trying to right his wrongs, he aids the Resistance in their crusade. Demon is the Warrior edition of resistance; the class is split by two subclasses: the Demon Slayer and Demon Avenger. The Demon Slayer that uses a special form of energy to fight and his weapons of choice are One Handed Axes or Blunt Weapons. The Demon Avenger uses a different system known as Exceed and is powered solely by HP. His weapon of choice is the Desparado.
Xenon
Xenon is an unique hybrid class, fitting into both the Pirate and Thief category. Was once a normal boy, Xenon was taken from his friends (and the soon-to-be Resistance) by Gelimer and was modified to be the perfect cyborg soldier. With the help of the Resistance, Xenon defected against Gelimer and had reunited with his friends to fight off against the Black Wing terror. Xenon carries many special traits such as he can modify certain skills into various mode to his use. Another feature is that he is the only class so far that relies on three stats, STR, DEX and LUK and each stat will provide an exclusive bonus. Xenon's weapon of choice is the Whip Blade, his secondary weapon is the Controller.
