OFFICIAL ROSTER
All Six Classes
Withered Knight
A heavier melee class. Greatsword gives a direct offensive route; Polearm & Shield adds reach, active blocking, charges, and team protection at a higher learning cost.
Open Withered Knight Build →Sorcerer
A ranged spellcaster using a Staff. Elemental play combines fire, thunder, and ice effects; Stardust concentrates power into larger cast windows and control.
Open Sorcerer Build →Seer
A flexible support and control class. Catalyst/Reverent protects and sustains a trio; Mace/Blasphemer moves closer for curses and control.
Open Seer Build →Blackarrow
A free-aim ranged class currently confirmed with the Bow. Archer creates fully drawn burst windows; Hunter manages ailment arrows and sustained control pressure.
Open Blackarrow Build →Shadowstrix
A mobile close-range class using Daggers or Dual Blades. Its routes cover stealth burst, repeated re-entry, wound detonation, and sustained hit pressure.
Open Shadowstrix Build →CHOOSE BY JOB
Pick the Job You Want to Perform
For a straightforward defensive start, test Mercenary Sword & Shield. For trio healing and protection, test Seer Reverent. For deliberate heavy melee, choose Withered Knight. For ranged spell decisions, choose Sorcerer. For precision free-aim at range, choose Blackarrow. For stealth, pursuit, and repeated close-range pressure, choose Shadowstrix.
This is a role picker, not a power ranking. A class that fits one player’s aim, reaction time, party, and risk budget can be a poor match for another player. Open the linked build page, take cheap equipment, and test the basic loop before buying expensive gear.
