# Factions

### Classes

The Class system affects your character during the Factions season, giving you specific abilities. Your class determines the unique abilities and effects you’ll receive and have a chance to upgrade in the future.

Using the levels system to level up, you unlock new class ranks at lvl25, 50, 75 and 99 to gain advantages over your enemies. You can use /master to upgrade your rank and level up, as well as the /levelup command to do it quickly. Don’t forget that you need to purchase the rank upgrade, not just the levelup!

### Knight

  * Squire decreases your damage taken by 10% while decreasing your damage dealt by 10%.

  * Grandmaster decreases your damage taken by 20%.
