* In ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'', The basic five positions fit neatly into these classes.
** Warrior: The Fisherman is a team's frontline combatant as the most durable and [[TheBigGuy physically powerful]] member.
** Ranger: The Spearbearer is the team's long-range fighter who depends on their [[ImprobableAimingSkills top-tier accuracy]] to provide backup in battle.
** Support: The Lightbearer acts as the MissionControl of a team, using their [[{{Magitek}} Lighthouses]] for exploration and information-gathering.
** Rogue: The Scout uses speed and cunning to assist either the Fisherman with [[FragileSpeedster close combat]] or the Lightbearer with [[TheSneakyGuy reconnaissance]].
** Nuker: The Wave Controller uses their mastery of [[FunctionalMagic Shinsu]] for large-scale destruction, effectively operating as the team [[OurMagesAreDifferent mage]].

* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', at least according to Franz the Dragon, a "[[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20221121 proper bunch of adventurers]]" comprises a Fighter, a Spark, a Cleric and a Thief. Three of these are obvious, evidence elsewhere in the comic suggests that Sparks ''definitely'' count as Nukers.

[[AC: Anime and Manga]]
* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'': From ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'' onwards, there's an established Class System squads of mages try to assemble either in full or split into subunits:
** Front Attackers are warrior types that specialize in close-quarters combat, make great use of magical-enhanced attacks, and overall prefer the Modern Belkan magic system for its effectiveness in one-on-one melee combat. As the Front Attackers' role is to cut into the enemy lines and protect the squad, defense and survival skills are important to increase attack time and reduce the need for support. Characters in this position: Subaru, Vita, Ginga, Nove, Vivio, and Einheart. Probably, also Signum and Zafira.
** Wing Guards are rogue types that rely on hit-and-run tactics, tend to be fragile speedsters, and abuse energy blades (protruding from their Devices) to slash or sword-beam the enemy. High mobility is needed so they can quickly shift from protecting the Center Guard or aiding in breaking the stall for the Front Attackers. The Midchildan magic system may be the weaker in terms of melee combat, but it grants energy blades and along with elemental magic, a Wing Guard can get a solid close-quarters combat. Characters in this position: Erio, Fate, Rio, and possibly Vita.
*** There's a variation called Wing Back that is virtually equal to the Wing Guard but being positioned between the Center Guard and the Full Back instead of between the former and the Front Attacker line. Furthermore, it seems to be less mobile than its counterpart as it mainly aids the Center Guard and protects the Full Back. There's only one known character occupying this position: Corona -- she possesses a rare skill and uses the Midchildan magic system. Wing Backs don't appear to be rogue types but more of combat-oriented support types.
** Center Guards are nuker types that overlap with ranger types because while their task is to deal as much damage as possible, a remarkable degree of accuracy is also needed. As they fight only in mid-to-long range, they gain the best scoping position which explains why the team captain or the best strategist often fills this position. Although this comes with the cost of it restricting their mobility and needing protection. Their spells of preference are shooting, bombardment and area-of-effects. Center Guards usually employ the Midchildan magic system for its effectiveness in long-range combat. Characters in this position: Teana, Nanoha, and Hayate if she ever learned to tune down her literally nuke-level spells so her allies don't get caught in the crossfire.
** Full Backs are support types that rarely engage and instead focus on providing transport and casting increase (healing and boosts) spells on their allies as well as restraining and casting decrease (debuffs and dispelling) spells on the enemy. Other types of support include communication (e.g. telepathy), investigation, rescuing (e.g Holding Net), sealing, and shapeshifting. As such, Full Backs favor the Midchildan magic system for its wide variety of effects and applications. High mobility is required and more often than not they are aided by a Boost Device. Characters in this position: Caro, Lutecia, and Shamal.

** Academic (Support and/or Nuker): most non-spellcasting academics, such as physicians, artisans, merchants, scholars etc. were Support. Not much use in a fight, but much more useful when it comes to interaction with [=NPCs=], solving puzzles etc. Spellcasters were a combination of Support and Nuker, but "leveled up" much more slowly then the other classes.
