The five classes

Weapon, difficulty and how each archetype leans

  • Warrior

    Reskin: Knight · Weapon: spear

    Difficulty

    A spear-wielding front-liner who walks into the fight and stays there.

    A good defense is a good offense. Warriors are one of the strongest classes in the game, they can take huge punishment from their enemies and walk away without a scratch. Their multiple crowd control abilities and natural defense makes warriors a formidable foe.

  • Archer

    Reskin: Hunter · Weapon: bow

    Difficulty

    A nimble ranged fighter who wins by never being where the enemy is.

    Precision is the key to victory. The archer sits comfortably at range to decimate their enemies with powerful projectiles. Evading and dodging enemies attacks is crucial to the playstyle of this class. Archers dish out huge amounts of damage, but aren’t so adept at defending themselves.

  • Mage

    Reskin: Dark Wizard · Weapon: wand

    Difficulty

    A spellcaster who heals, blinks and rains fire from the sky.

    Knowledge is power. Mages are naturally talented in the mystical arts, not only can they produce powerful incantations to destroy enemies, they can also heal allies and protect their friends. Although alone mages are not the most powerful, they are a valuable asset to any team.

  • Assassin

    Reskin: Ninja · Weapon: dagger

    Difficulty

    A dagger-wielding striker who appears, deals a flurry of hits and vanishes.

    The unseen is the deadliest foe. The assassin uses their various stealth spells to swiftly and seamlessly vanquish their opponents. From the shadows they are able to strike multiple times before their enemy knows what hit them. In a duel with an Assassin, one should watch their back…. And their front.

  • Shaman

    Reskin: Skyseer · Weapon: relik

    Difficulty

    A mystic who plants totems, binds spirits and bends blood to their will.

    The Shaman benefits from powerful buffs, displacement, and crowd-control abilities at the cost of low defences. Using spell combinations, they can aggressively engage large amounts of enemies or simply sit back and support their team.

What is a reskin?

Every class has a reskinned twin, unlocked by playing: Knight for Warrior, Hunter for Archer, Dark Wizard for Mage, Ninja for Assassin and Skyseer for Shaman. A reskin changes how the class looks and sounds, not how it plays: the weapon, spells and ability tree are the same.
