# Advanced Roles

> **Not implemented yet.** The specializations below are planned and will arrive in a future update.

Once you have settled into a core role, your Adventure Level will eventually come to a halt - that is when you take on the trial of the [Adventurer's Company](/aincrad-legacy-docs/progression/adventurers-company.md)'s **Specialized Forces trainer** and choose an **advanced role** that branches off your core one. Advanced roles keep your core identity but push it in a specific direction, unlocking deeper passive abilities.

Each core role branches as follows.

## From Damage Dealer

* **Brawler** - the purest offense path. Leans into raw attack power and harder normal attacks for relentless single-target pressure.
* **Veteran** - an Aura specialist. Focuses on casting speed and the chance to cast twice, turning your Aura skills into a storm.

## From Tanker

* **Fortress** - maximum defense. Doubles down on absorbing and reflecting damage back at attackers, punishing anything that hits you.
* **Elusive** - the evasive defender. Trades flat toughness for the ability to dodge attacks - including Aura - and sustain through regeneration.

## From Supporter

* **Booster** - the dedicated empowerer, maximizing the strength your buffs give the party.
* **Breaker** - specializes in weakening enemies, opening them up for the rest of the party.
* **Handler** - controls the battlefield, locking down groups of enemies so your allies can fight on their terms.

## Choosing a branch

Advanced roles are a long-term specialization, so pick the one that matches how you actually like to play your core role. Like your core role, their effects grow stronger with your **Adventure Level**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://aincrad-legacy.gitbook.io/aincrad-legacy-docs/combat-roles/advanced-roles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
