CHOOSE YOUR HERO

Pick a playstyle,
then make it yours.

There is no measured best class in this comparison. Start with how you like to fight; your talents and equipment can change the way a run begins.

Compare all nine classes →
Stay close and withstand hitsTry Paladin if healing and defensive options appeal to you; its fresh menu starts with Consecration. Prefer cleaving attacks and building fury from kills? Try Warrior and Cleave.
Fight from a distanceTry Hunter for Auto Shot, arrows and traps. Keep space to move rather than choosing it as a guaranteed strongest class.
Choose a spell styleTry Mage for area-oriented fire spells; Warlock for curses and damage over time. Both begin with a ranged spell in the cited fresh menu.
Fresh-character menu reported for v0.90.0. Talent milestones can change starting spells. Source ↗

IN THE FIELD

One run, two kinds of progress

Choose for the fight you are in, then return stronger for the next one.

01 / DURING A RUN

Read the upgrade card

A new spell uses a slot; an upgrade improves an existing spell. Compare the offer with the threats and slots you already have.

Example: If crowds keep surrounding you and you have an open slot, compare an area spell with the other cards. If you already have coverage but struggle to damage one boss, an upgrade to an existing attack may be more useful. Read the actual effects and slot count before choosing; neither is a guaranteed winning pick.

02 / BETWEEN RUNS

Keep building your class

Source observations distinguish persistent class equipment and talents from run spells and jewellery, which reset for a new run.
