Comprehensive Breeds Guide, Very Detailed

Guide was overhauled by MDK




There are four breeds in Anarchy Online: Solitus, Opifex, Nanomage, and Atrox.
Atrox are technically genderless and so only have one gender option, but the
Solitus, Opifex, and Nanomage can be selected as male or female. Breed and
Gender are important for a handful of equipment prerequisites in the game (for
example, the Massive Steel Armor can only be worn by males), but in general,
you should have a good alternative if your breed or gender doesn't match. In
other words, gender shouldn't really matter in normal play other than personal
preference.

Breed selection is much more important as far as ability caps and IP.  Below is
a brief summary of the strengths and weaknesses of each Breed. Also listed is
the "Breed Caps", or the highest unadjusted value of each Ability that the
Breed can obtain (usually at some point in TL5).  With expansions, the Breed
Caps are lifted at level 201 and can reach even higher for their maximum value.

Each breed has Shadowbreeds with many short-term, instant effects that can help disable your opponent and aid you and possibly your team. Each breed gets three stages of Shadowbreed effects with each level higher usually getting more potent, however some lower levels may have better benefits. Each level is supposed to have a level lock. Level one takes 205, level two takes 210, and level three takes 215 to upload, however this has been broken for years and only requires level 205 to upgrade all three. The type of Shadowbreed you get also relies on your side. Omni, Neutral, Clan and then Solitus, Atrox, Nanomage, and Opifex. So in total there are 36 Shadowbreeds.

There are also specific advantages for each breed within the perk setup. Some breeds have very good perks, others are nearly useless. The perks boost abilities, more so dependent on the breeds main abilities. But it slacks on the breeds secondary abilities.

Depending on the breed you choose you could be in a hurt for IP consumption as well. Under each separate breed guide will be the required amount of IP to max at level 200 and level 220.





The Solitus breed is what normally passes for "Human" in most games. It is also
the most versatile breed with no glaring strengths or weaknesses. You can't go
wrong with picking Solitus as your breed.  All of your core abilities will cost
the same to raise, and most of your abilities will cap at 480 (with the notable
exception of Strength at 472).

Many folks pick Solitus for cosmetic reasons, as it is the only breed that has
the same skin tone and body build as a "normal" human.  A handful of Solitus
breed-locked items exist, as well, and they tend to be well-rounded.

Solitus Breed Caps:

* Strength 472/772
* Agility 480/780
* Stamina 480/780
* Intelligence 480/780
* Sense 480/780
* Psychic 480/780

At level 220: 3.633.132

This grey-skinned breed is more slender and agile than Humans. They have bonuses
to Agility and Sense (which are Light Green for them) and a penalty to Stamina
(which is Dark Blue). This makes the Opifex ideal for ranged combat, especially
Pistol Adventurers, Fixers, and Agents. They are also pretty decent Martial
Artists and Shades. Opifex gain the same amount of Health and Nano points as a Solitus per
point of Body Dev/Nano Pool, but tend to have less in each due to their racial
Ability penalties.

Most of the Opifex-only items are geared toward Agility and Sense, but these
items are few and far between.

Opifex Breed Caps:

* Strength 464/764

This breed is difficult to play for most new players due to the hits they take
in the Health department and is not recommended until you have a better grasp
of the game. They have superior abilities in Nano-related skills and overall
Nanopoints, but have less Health. They have penalties in Strength and Agility.

Later on in the game, they get access to breed-only buff items such as the
Shades of Lucubration, but these items tend to be out of the grasp of a new
player anyway.  It's something to think about for veteran players.  Typically,
playing a Nanomage is a challenging proposition and is one way to ramp up the
difficulty of the game.

These fellas (if that's the appropriate term, since they are genderless) are
the big workhorse breed of Anarchy Online. They receive the most Health per
point of Body Development, and have bonuses to Stamina and Strength. They make
ideal melee combatants and tanks, but their intelligence-based skills and
nanoskills suffer. Pick them if you want to be able to dish out a lot of melee
damage and take a lot of punishment. It is a good choice for the early levels,
but in the later levels you'll find yourself hurting in the nanoskill
department.

Most of the Atrox-only items are geared toward melee weaponry and strength,
including the Silken Legchopper Gloves. Certain "large" weapons are also Atrox
only, such as the Support Beams and the Diamondine Kick Pistol. Oddly enough,
because Atrox is genderless, in many cases they can wear both male and female
outfits.

Atrox Breed Caps:

* Strength 512/912

Nice guide =)

This post has been edited by me with a more detailed guide to breeds, caps, and other factors. I mainly added what is important for people with expansions. The shadowbreed info was taken off AO-universe. Also posted the ratio HP/NP per point for each breed, and their respective - Nanocost caps. These were taken off of the budabot !breed/!breeds command.

Thanks you for your original post Curlycat =)

This guide is going to be embedded into Budabot 2.0 (in the official release). The features will be noticed in the following commands.

!breed (There will be a guide button next to each breed name)

This will send another message to the bot corresponding to the guide you click.

!guides atrox
!guides solitus
!guides opifex
!guides nanomage

The guide will be split into these four categories.
