The player is not locked into a role but can customize the role at any time. There are temporary skills that can be discovered while exploring the world and used for a short time. The focus of Wagadu Chronicles is on the role-playing element. It’s not about grinding as much as possible. Instead, you’re supposed to get into character. Role-playing is rewarded.
