++ Hey everyone! I thought before I got to really analyzing I would do a post of God Tiers with Classpects. This analysis contains information that I’ve gathered through various sources (such as Bladekindeyewear – go check them out the theories really help with my work whenever I need information or I’m simply stuck on how to phrase something. I also use various other God Tier analysis theories and stuff during my work. (Ask who and I’ll post links with my heroes of God Tier Analysis))
++I feel like this will help clear up a lot, and as I learn a bit more I’ll update this post as needed.
+-Well, let’s get cracking.
What exactly is God Tier?
This is the question that most Sburb/Sgrub players have when initially receiving their title upon starting the game, and there are three answers to that question. Two are really the same answer, but one in more technical terminology.
The first (and more technical answer) – God Tier is a game mechanic of Sburb that may or may not be used by a player (every player is assigned a Title at the Beginning of the game and all have the potential to achieve God Tier) to achieve high levels of power that relate to the title that player is assigned at the beginning of the game. This power comes at a consequence, however. This consequence is that you must die.
This is called ‘Ascension’, which is the act of going God Tier. When you go God Tier, your Dream Self will merge with the original, or in the special circumstance that your Dream Self is dead and you have another form (you merged an alternate timeline version of yourself or your Dream Self) then that form will merge with the original.
There are two ways of Ascension (one is mainly the same).
The first of which is your Quest Bed/Cocoon, which is located on your Game Planet. This Bed/cocoon is a slab of stone (circular for trolls, rectangular for humans) that is located at the highest point of your planet. It will be fairly easy to spot when you get within range of it. For humans the first thing you will see will be the four towers that reach towards the sky (one post for each corner of the bed), and for trolls it will be the large cocoon-like structure that encases the slab of stone.
The second method is to die on your Sacrificial Slab (for some this may be the only way). Your sacrificial slab is in the Core or Crypt of your Dream planet. It is the only way to ascend if you do not have a Dream Self or another form of yourself. You can also (while you’re dreaming) go to the Crypt/Core and have your Dream Self wait there. That way in case Derse or Prospit is destroyed, you will still go God Tier.
Once you have gone God Tier, the powers of your Classpect are at your disposal! It’s just a matter of mastering them for the upcoming battle with the Black King on the Battlefield.
The Second Definition of God Tier – God Tier is the combination of a Class and an Aspect that you are assigned at the Beginning of the game.
The third answer is; a higher rung of Echeladder-like Tiers after Achieving God Tier. Of course, this isn’t as important and I’ll cover it later.
The reason for God Tier? The reason for God Tier is because Sburb/Sgrub is a game of growth. The title is assigned in two parts (which I will cover in a moment), the Class and the Aspect, a Classpect. Now, let’s look at that, shall we?
Another good question! A classpect is the name of a Class and an Aspect with are the two keywords in your God Tier Title! To answer the question fully, however, I need to explain HOW Sburb/Sgrub assigns the titles.
Sburb assigns Titles in two parts, the Class, and then the Aspect.
The first word in your God Tier title is assigned by Sburb by assessing HOW you need to grow as a person. As an example, a Knight must ‘Learn to stand by their friends and remove the mask that they put on for others.’ A Mage must ‘Realize their talents and not get caught up in self-deprecation.’
Now, there are two main categories of God Tier, and then there are seven sub categories. The main categories are Active, and Passive.
Active Classes are ones that are more centered on doing things yourself, such as the Knight or the Prince. The subcategories are what the Class falls under, such as a Knowing Class or an Exploiting Class Here is a Chart (Courtesy of bladekindeyewear) that details those Categories. (Passive is on the Right, Active on the left and subcategories afterwards.)
Maid – Sylph (Create/Repair)
Now, what does this all mean? Well, let’s take a look at another post of bladekindeyewear’s, a Kid in King Arthur’s Court and the list there.
This list details exactly what each class would do if you gave them a sword. (With some of my own comments of course.)
A Seer will show you how to hone the blade sharp enough to split solid rock asunder.
A Mage will apply his or her sword in battle like a surgeon, twisting him or herself around the other blades as if their attacks had already been announced beforehand.
Give a Prince their sword and they’ll shatter it into a King’s heart.
Give a Bard their sword, and whole armies will soon be swinging and breaking blades against each other.
Give a Sylph their sword, and they will mend both her allies’ swords and their allies’ allies as well.
Give a Maid their sword, and they’ll craft five dozen more. (Though this is not counting after she keeps one of the swords for herself to repeatedly copy it so there are more on hand just in case. Maids are crafty I’ll give them that.)
Give a Witch their sword, and they will swing it as an axe against one to her right, then thrust it as a dagger against one to her left.
Give an Heir their sword, and others’ swords will bend, reshape, and move around him as though he were a nexus for their essence.
Give a Rogue their sword, and ally and enemy alike will find themselves with or without their swords at whim.
Give a Thief their sword, and they’ll use it to hunt down a vast collection for her own gain (and possibly the gain of their allies as well, if it helps their own ends)
Give a Lord their sword, and they will use it to fell mighty armies, kill kings and take towns for themselves all with a single swipe of their blade.
Give a Muse their sword and they will use it to take their enemies swords, bless them with powerful magic, heal teammates, see how the battle will pan out, create a battle strategy, and then give the previously taken and blessed swords to their allies, before hanging the sword up over their mantle as decoration, and in case someone needs it later.
Give a Knight their sword, however, and they will cut down foes, mend armor, scale walls, unlock doors, perform alchemy, fell drawbridges, dice vegetables and stir stew, jumpstart cars, unclog their plumbing, clog an enemy’s plumbing, and perform circus entertainment….all with the same, solitary, unchanged sword. And when hat sword finally breaks in half, they’ll use the hilt as a dagger and use the tip as a doorstop.
Give a Page their sword, and they will train slowly, driven by the opportunities life hands him to use it, get better, stronger. As they do, they will share their enthusiasm with others, allowing their skill to encourage and bolster the wills and talents of their allies with their swords. Given enough time, they will lead not just an army, but an army of Knights!
Now what does this all mean? Well, let’s take a look.
The Mage will apply their sword in battle like a surgeon, twisting themselves around the other blades as though their enemies’ attacks had already been announced beforehand.
Mages are the Active of the two in the Knowing Class pair. The Mage will manipulate their aspect to a fine degree, as well as learning through their aspect. They need to learn to start jumping in and start forcibly doing things on their own in order to help the team, despite any fears they may have.
A Mage is highly valued as a teammate, though you will have complications at first. Aspects are like entities that each have different personalities, and the Mage will have a bittersweet relationship with their aspect.
The Mage will be treated poorly by their aspect, beating them down constantly, but also protecting them because they love the Mage at the same time. Until the Mage goes God Tier or learns to fight their aspect back and speak their mind, things aren’t going to get better. There is no immediate change in the relationship when the Mage goes God Tier, not until the Mage gets a backbone and defends themselves against the aspect. Things aren’t going to get better until the Mage speaks up for themselves and learns to tell their aspect to BACK OFF. They’re just not.
The Seer will show you how to hone the blade sharp enough to split solid rock asunder.
As the Passive of the two Knowing Classes, the Seer sees through their aspect on a path. A Seer of Light will see the most fortuitous path for their team – a Seer of Doom will see the doomed timelines and how they branched off to there as the opportunity for it approaches and warn their team of it.
The Seer is a useful teammate to have, because they will look through their aspect to guide the team. The Seer may have a problem at first, wishing to have better powers than just seeing the different paths, so be careful with them inverting or their anger.
Give a Prince a sword and they’ll shatter it into a King’s heart.
The Active of the two Destroying classes, uses their aspect to destroy or destroys their aspect, such as when Eridan (The Prince of Hope) destroyed the Matriorb, destroying all Hope for the trolls in saving their species.
Princes tend to lack their aspect – Eridan Ampora, the Prince of Hope, lacked hope (and open-mindedness, but that’s better explained in the aspect section). Kurloz Makara, the Prince of Rage, lacked rage and Dirk Strider the Prince of Heart, lacked heart. They are useful teammates to have, of course, but can be hard to handle at times, because of how they almost completely lack their aspect.
Give a Bard their sword and whole armies will soon be swinging and breaking blades against each other.
The Passive of the two Destroying classes, the Bard invites destruction through their aspect, or invites the destruction of their aspect, which means that they would use their aspect to inspire destruction in their friends or enemies.
Bards can be hard to deal with as well; they are usually manipulative or shady in nature.
Give a Maid a sword and they will craft five dozen more.
The Active of the Create/Repair duo, the Maid makes more of their aspect in order to give it to their friends/allies. (I.e. Aradia creating doomed timelines en masse in order to create tons of herself to bring to the alpha timeline to fight the Black King.)
The Maid tends to go above and beyond what is needed for her friends regarding creation (once they accept their role of course) – they will not only craft five dozen more swords, they will keep the original sword and keep spamming the copy button just in case more are needed in the future, or so everyone has a backup sword.
Give a Sylph their sword and they will mend both their allies’ swords and their allies’ allies’ swords as well.
The Sylph is the Passive of the Create/Repair duo, and they invite healing through their aspect or heal their aspect. Sylph’s are very useful to have – not only will they heal with their aspect, but they can heal the aspect itself. A Sylph of Time will heal directly with their aspect by ‘inviting’ it to heal by speeding up or reversing the wound’s progress, and will heal Time itself.
Like I said, useful to have.
Give a Witch their sword, and they will swing it as an axe against one to her right, then thrust it as a dagger against one to her left.
The Witch is the Active of the Change pair, and they manipulate with their aspect and through their aspect. Witches are like Mages with their aspect in a sense – they manipulate it to a very fine degree – like Jade Harley literally shrinks planets, and Damara manipulates Time, or Feferi manipulates Life, giving and taking it from others.
Give an Heir their sword, and others’ swords will bend, reshape, and move around him as though he were a nexus for their essence.
Despite being a seemingly Active class, the Heir is the Passive of the Change pair. They are protected by their aspect and are able to use it effectively as an offense as well, and they are good with manipulating their aspect even if they don’t realize it.
Give a Thief their sword, and they’ll use it to hunt down a vast collection for her own gain.
The Thief is the Active of the Steal Class, and they literally take their aspect from others for themselves, like Vriska stealing luck for herself, making her become extremely lucky.
Give a Rogue their sword, and ally and enemy alike will find themselves with or without their swords at whim.
The Rogue is one of the best fighters to have on your side, despite them being the Passive of the Stealing pair. They take their aspect from their enemies and give it to their friends. So a Rogue of Rage would steal her enemies’ anger, and they would lose the will to fight, while she gives it to her friends who have now entered a berserker mode and are destroying everything.
Or a Rogue of Light would steal the enemies’ luck (or even their sight as well) and give it to their allies’, who now have enhanced sight and have all of the luck. All of it.
Give a Lord their sword, and they will use it to fell mighty armies, kill kings and take Kingdoms for themselves all with a single swipe of their sword.
Lords are the Active of the two embodiment classes and is a Master Class. They have all of the Active powers of every other God Tier combined – but only the Active. This makes them one hell of a berserker in a fight – thus why Lord English is so powerful. Not much is known about this class, so until more is revealed there isn’t much to say I’m afraid! Just what I theorize at this point!
I believe the Lord to be ‘One who embodies their aspect for destruction’.
Give a Muse their sword and they will use it to take their enemies swords, bless them with powerful magic, heal teammates, see how the battle will pan out, create a battle strategy, and then give the previously taken and blessed swords to their allies, before hanging the sword up over their mantle as decoration, and in case someone needs it later.
The Muse is the passive partner of the Lord, and they embody every passive ability of every other God Tier that relates to their aspect. They are a powerful ally that you would keep in the battle at all times – they are protected by their aspect, they use the rogue’s stealing ability without realizing it, they would invite destruction like a Bard, see paths in the timeline like a Seer and base plans off of that – they are the best to have as a teammate by far.
I believe the Muse to be ‘One who is inspiration for their aspect’ or ‘One who inspires through their aspect’.
Give a Knight their sword, however, and they will cut down foes, mend armor, scale walls, unlock doors, perform alchemy, fell drawbridges, dice vegetables and stir stew, jumpstart cars, unclog their plumbing, clog an enemy’s plumbing, and perform circus entertainment….all with the same, solitary, unchanged sword. And when hat sword finally breaks in half, they’ll use the hilt as a dagger and use the tip as a doorstop.
The Knight is the Active of the Exploiting duo, and they are some of the best friends you can find, because the Knight is ‘One who uses [Aspect] to fight and defend’, and they do this all in the name of their friends.
They will take their sword and cut down foes that are about to attack, mend allies’ armor, scale walls and unlock doors, perform alchemy and fell drawbridges, all so their friends can be safe and help lead the attack. And when everyone’s ready for a lunch break, they will take that sword and dice vegetables and meat for a stew, and then stir it with the sword before serving it to their friends who are starving by now, and grab themselves a quick bite to eat as well. They will jumpstart cars so their friends don’t have to walk home, unclog their and their friends’ plumbing, then go and clog their enemies’ plumbing, then gather their friends and entertain them with a circus performance all with the same sword that they’ve been wielding from the beginning. Then, when that sword finally breaks from all of the use, they’ll use the hilt as a dagger and use the tip as a doorstop.
They are powerful warriors that fight for their friends well being, and they do it all because they care (deep down under that mask they put up).
The Knight is a double edged sword in a session. On one hand, they are a powerful fighter, and on the other, the session will lack the Knight’s aspect.
This is because the Knight and the Aspect do not have a good relationship – the Knight exploits the Aspect from the get-go and the aspect resents it, so it will shuffle and drag its feet until the Knight proves themselves (or goes God Tier, you know?).
Give a Page their sword, and they will train slowly, driven by the opportunities life hands him to use it, get better, stronger. As they do, they will share their enthusiasm with others, allowing their skill to encourage and bolster the wills and talents of their allies with their swords. Given enough time, they will lead not just and army, but an army of Knights!
The Page is the Passive of the Exploiting duo, and they are weak in the beginning. They then slowly grow stronger as they progress, helping their teammates and showing their teammates just how fast you can improve if you put your mind to it which encourages them to do better. They will eventually lead an army (this does not mean they are a good leader mind you, just that their power will equal this), and not just any army. They will lead an army that is chock full of Knights just waiting to prove their worth.
Right, now that we’ve got the Class portion out of the way, we’re onto Aspects!
Once Sburb has the first portion of your Title figured out, they analyze either what you’re lacking the most in, or what you have too much of. They figure out if you have a healthier mindset for your class or a not so healthy mindset. Here’s a quick chart of what traits tie into what for aspects.
Blood – Emotional Stability
Breath – Social Assertiveness
Once Sburb has figured it out, you’re assigned your Aspect!
Put them together and you’ve got your Classpect!
The God Tiers are an even higher portion of the Echeladder that gives you Badges on your Kiddie camper Handysash. It is not well known what these extra Tiers do, other than some nifty extra abilities like the Gift of Gab. The Gift of Gab was originally thought useless – talking to people without using an electronic device? Well, as it turns out, it rather means that you understand every language as it’s spoken to you (and act as a walking and talking translating device in conversations as well)!
Now I know what you’re thinking - but Knight, obviously there are FEMALE and MALE ONLY classes!
While some classes are more biased towards males and others females, the true reason that this is believed is because of what Calliope, the Muse of Space, had said.
But in her culture, female and male were like Light and Dark - which is why she thought that the ‘creating’ classes (in the broadest sense) and the ‘destroying’ (in the broadest sense as well) were opposites for gender.
But all God Tiers are open for any gender! You can be a female Heir, a male Witch, and so on! You might wish to change the outfit according to your tastes, however. God Tiers can change the look of their God Tier outfit at will - the color scheme just has to remain somewhat the same.
Oh right - and you can change into something other than your God Tier outfit - thought I’d mention that while the speaker is still working.
++ That’s all I have for now, so until I have new information (which I will just edit this) goodbye!
