Classless Builds: Abilities, Relics & Weapons
How Soulbound's gear-driven, classless system lets one character become a tank, healer, or DPS depending on what you equip.
How the System Works
Soulbound: Online has no locked-in classes. Your build comes from what you equip: swap gear and you swap role, instantly and without a separate character. SpiderWare describes it as mixing 10+ swappable ability types with 100+ relic paths (some later materials cite 200+ upgradeable relic trees as the system has expanded) across multiple weapon archetypes and deep skill trees.
Abilities
Your core offensive, defensive, and healing tools in dungeons. A dozen-plus base abilities exist, and can be chained into combos.
Relics
Earned during dungeon runs, relics warp your equipped abilities, weapons, and stats on the fly — the main driver of build variety run-to-run.
Weapon Archetypes
Multiple weapon types anchor different playstyles, combined freely with your ability and relic choices.
Respec Freely
Builds are meant to be disposable and experimental: you can respec instantly to fit the fight in front of you, then still show off hard-earned cosmetics separately from whatever stats you're currently running.
Roles You Can Cover
Because the same character can become any role, a party doesn't need three separate characters to field a tank, healer, and DPS — it needs three players willing to swap gear into those roles for the run.
Examples Confirmed So Far
The full ability and relic list hasn't been published officially, but the community wiki has documented some real examples in use:
- Abilities: Gleam Twins, Chakram, Healing Pulse, Pyro, Minigun
- Relics: Health, Crit, Heavy Hit, Dodge, Gunslinger (pairs well with Gleam Twins builds), Supporter (for healer-leaning builds)
- Weapon note: Hammer-type weapons are useful for stunning tougher enemies and bosses
