archetype
The Anarchist
"They call us chaotic, but we're just carving an ordered path through the corrupted heart of the slumyards."
The Anarchist is a close-range damage dealer and disruptor that excels at dealing heavy damage with their katana, inflicting disruptive physical attacks, and sowing disorder in the enemy ranks. They are best suited for aggressive, front-line combat and make excellent use of their cybernetic enhancements to maim and disrupt enemy strategies.
Strengths
- High damage output: The Anarchist can deal massive damage to enemies, often in an area effect.
- Offensive capabilities: The Anarchist's powerful strikes can disrupt enemy strategies and quickly reduce their numbers.
- Resilience: The Anarchist can often withstand a significant amount of punishment before falling.
Weaknesses
- Limited mobility: The Anarchist is limited in their mobility and can be easily kited by ranged attackers.
- Susceptibility to crowd control: Anarchists can be susceptible to crowd control effects, which can disrupt their ability to protect themselves or their allies.
- Vulnerability to ranged attacks: The Anarchist is more vulnerable to ranged attacks, as they lack abilities that specifically counter them.

CHEM-TECH
archetype
The SABOTEUR
"In the slumyard's tangled veins of code, I am the glitch. I am the virus. I am the rebellion."
The Saboteur focuses on disrupting the enemy's plans, inflicting plagues, and controlling the battlefield. They excel in manipulating the combat environment to create favorable conditions for their crew and unfavorable ones for their opponents, and are adept at controlling the battlefield by using cards that can immobilize, reposition, or manipulate the enemy.
Strengths
- Debuffs: Inflict plagues like Weaken, Vulnerability, and Confusion, diminishing enemy capability or increasing damage taken.
- Crowd Control: Immobilize or displace enemies to disrupt their strategies.
- Detonators & Traps: Saboteurs set detonators on foes, triggered by cards for damage or more debuffs, while traps make it difficult for enemies to predict or avoid their disruptive effects.
Weaknesses
- Limited damage: Saboteurs excel in disruption but have lower damage output.
- Strategic dependency: They rely on precise setup and timing; disruption hinders their effectiveness.
- Fragility: Saboteurs are susceptible to direct attacks due to lower durability.

The Nanomancer
"In this microbial jungle, my nanobots dance to the rhythm of code, bending the rules of flesh and fate."
The Nanomancer is a support and healing character in Roguelord. They excel in healing, damage mitigation, and buffing allies. Nanomancers use their expertise in nanotechnology to repair and enhance the crew's physical and cybernetic attributes, making them essential for long-term survival and efficiency.

- Purge and Conversion: Nanomancers can cleanse plagues from allies and transform them into beneficial augments.
- Control: Nanomancers can create nanite swarms that can attack enemies or heal allies, and they can even manipulate the environment to their advantage.
Weaknesses

- Lower Durability: Nanomancers have lower durability compared to other archetypes, making them more susceptible to damage.
- Dependent on Status and Positioning: Nanomancers' abilities are heavily reliant on the status and positioning of their teammates, making them vulnerable to disruption and displacement.

Hacking
archetype
The Hacker
"Lurking in the shadows, I rewrite reality, one line of code at a time."
Hackers are masters of digital manipulation, specializing in disrupting enemy systems, controlling the battlefield, and supporting their crew with valuable information. Their unique abilities revolve around manipulating the digital landscape to gain an advantage in combat.
Strengths
- Information Warfare: Hackers can expose opponent cards at the beginning of each phase based on the strength of the Hacker‘s Edge score.
- ACS Manipulation: Hackers excel at manipulating automated combat systems (ACS), such as drones, turrets and totems governed by allies an enemies alike.
- Hacking: Hackers are versatile and can adapt to different situations, using their abilities to disrupt a wide range of enemy strategies.

- Vulnerability: Hackers are often more vulnerable to direct damage and focused aggression, as they have lower defense and may lack the crowd control abilities of other archetypes.
- Complexity: Managing the Hacker's nanotech options can require careful strategy and foresight, as their abilities are often more complex and situational than other archetypes.
