* AnAdventurerIsYou: The characters in the tabletop game roughly correspond to the main archetypes. Notably:
** Tovak is the Tank: his cards and abilities provide lots of block (notably, he starts out with a decent card that gives him *ice* block, a pretty rare defence otherwise), allow him to get something useful out of wounds, or simply turn him into TheDeterminator, allowing him to make his way through the world (moving, drawing extra cards ''and'' mana, etc.) through sheer force of will. He tends to be pretty bad with spells, though.
** Norowas is the Petmaster: he focuses on recruiting units, upgrading them, making them ready, etc. Notably, this can end up screwing the player over if they cannot get decent units early on, as Norowas is basically powerless without them.
** Goldyx is the Resource Master: he can get ''tons'' of mana crystals, allowing him to get the best from his cards and to play lots of spells (which, in turn, allow him to dip into other roles, depending on what he can get). This makes him more market-dependent than most characters, though.
** Arythea is the Jack-Of-All-Trades: she's an extremely versatile character who can do everything reasonably well, but doesn't really specialize in anything.
