The new trailer for Dune Awakening Solari U4GM, titled “The Trooper – Schools of the Imperium,” opens up a whole new layer of gameplay speculation. Based on what we saw, the Schools won’t just be cosmetic affiliations—they’re shaping up to be full-on class systems with unique skill trees.

For PvP, I’m betting the Sardaukar will dominate melee combat. The way they charge into battle, completely fearless, suggests high armor and damage stats but maybe low stealth. On the other hand, the Bene Gesserit could introduce some of the most unique PvP mechanics ever—Voice control, deception, maybe even crowd manipulation? Imagine confusing or stunning your opponent mid-duel.

Mentats are likely the most support-oriented school, maybe functioning like a battlefield commander. One scene showed someone scanning a battlefield with what looked like a tactical HUD—radar detection or buffing allies? Could make them perfect for PvE groups.

Suk Doctors might play the healer role, but I wonder if there’s more. Are they immune to certain poisons or environmental hazards on Arrakis? Could they revive downed teammates or resist psychological attacks from Bene Gesserit?





If each School offers unique pros and cons, group comp and tactics in PvP and PvE could become incredibly nuanced. Imagine needing a Suk Doctor to survive a poisoned desert or a Mentat to identify an ambush. That’s deeper than most survival MMOs go. I’m hyped to try them all.
