Support Type Awakeners in terms of attack methods are indeed slightly lacking compared to those with Attack Type Talents, but fortunately, it's not a big issue. The deficiency can be fully compensated by skills, as Ashen World produces a large variety of attack skills.
Overall, although Awakeners with powerful Attack Type Talents indeed accumulate levels and rank advantages more easily in the early stages, by the mid to late stages, the situation between the two becomes much more comparable.
After all, Attribute values speak for themselves. Even those with a Support Type Talent can rely on strong physical qualities and various types of skills to forcefully manage, just like Zhang Yanhang, who is absolutely a classic example from any perspective.
