# Classes & Kingdoms

The core strategy behind Project: Arena is built upon the concept of Classes and Kingdoms. The following will explain each of their unique abilities and the bonuses they confer.

Class & Kingdoms bonuses are activated for having a certain number of unique units for a given Class or Kingdom. Heroes have one Class or Kingdom, whereas Units have both a Class and Kingdom.

***Note:** Explicit values for bonuses are omitted due to the frequent nature of value changes.*
