Darkspore Classification



In Darkspore, the creatures of the game are separated into different classes of species and strength. The characters that you can unlock and play as are made up of five separate categories:

Plasma
Plasma deals with the combination of fire and lightning. Plasma-based attacks can do things such as incinerate objects, and create firewalls to damage those who dare to come near. Zrin and Blitz are both Plasmas.

Quantum
Quantum deals with space and time. Quantum-based attacks are capable of sending one warping across the stage in the blink of an eye, making them quick, elusive attackers. Unknown, Vex and Magnos are all Quantum.

Bio
Bio deals with the power of life-force. Bio attacks are usually more defensive than offensive, but the ones that are offensive are very long-lasting and powerful. Sage and Tork are both Bios.

Cyber
Cyber deals with the power of technology. Cyber attacks are similar to the warrior parts in the Captain Outfitter in Spore Galactic Adventures, such as Missile-launchers and Plasma bolts. Goliath, Meditron, and Titan are all Cybers.

Necro
Necro deals with the power of death and darkness. Necro-based attacks include things like banishing enemies to another dimension, or even filling your enemies' heads with nightmares to distract them. Arakna and Jinx are both Necros.

Hero classes
Aside from these classes, there are also three different classes of characters to play as:



Ravager
Ravagers are similar to Rogues in the Creature Stage of Spore and other games. They are solitary strong fighters, and are quick and agile. They commonly specialize in melee attacks, although a hero known as Arakna, who is classified as a Ravager, has ranged attacks like Tempests have. This suggests that several other Ravagers have ranged attacks.

Sentinel
Sentinels are large, Tank-like characters who are very strong and durable. Most of their attacks are extremely powerful, and other non-Sentinel members of the squad follow behind them much of the time, as they provide excellent defense. Sentinels specialize in melee attacks.

Tempest
Tempests are Mage-like characters, which are usually weak but have powerful abilities. They specialize in ranged attacks and support abilities, and are best utilized when following behind the rest of the team, so that they can be protected while providing backup for the rest of the squad.
