Mistfall Hunter is officially live, and the first task for you will be to choose a class. Every class/role in Mistfall Hunter is unique and has its own strengths and weaknesses. There are no bad choices, but you must be well aware of the pros and cons associated with each of them to make the best possible choice. In this guide, I will help you figure out the best classes to pick and which ones to avoid at all costs.
Complete Mistfall Hunter class tier list
I have used three different tiers to separate the six available classes. There has been no change in the number of options since we had the demo. I definitely feel that some classes act differently compared to the demo.
- S-tier choices are mostly the strongest classes you can pick. They are well suited for beginners and veterans alike.
- A-tier choices are slightly weaker than S tier options, but they are still pretty good on the meta.
- B-tier choices will require a lot of learning and extra effort on your part to master them.
Mercenary (S-tier)
The Mercenary has been incredibly strong for me during the demo, and it continues to do well in the full launch. At its core, it is a simple class that works with melee weapons. You have your big sword or hammer, and you have a big shield to protect yourself and your allies. While the build might sound basic, the class is extremely versatile and can adapt to different situations.
If you are like me and go solo for most of the rounds, the mercenary is the best class to pick. It has great mobility and good potential for survival and decent damage. Once you can invest a few Talent Points in increasing the damage, the mercenary gets even better.
Pros
- Great survivability
- Extremely easy to learn and master
- Good damage potential and offers a lot of versatility.
Cons
- Lack of range
- Single-target DPS is still pretty weak when you come up against bosses
Sorcerer (S-tier)
Compared to the Mercenary, the Sorcerer is slightly harder to learn. On one hand, you have an outstanding range with all the different spells that are available in your kit. On the other hand, you have to bear in mind that the Sorcerer is essentially a glass cannon.
If you manage to get too close to a boss, they can finish you in quick time. Hence, maintaining your distance is necessary. Doing so will allow you to survive and do damage for a longer period of time.
Pros
- High damage potential and DPS
- Fun to use with all the different spells that are available in your kit
- Good option for beginners if they are considering range.
Cons
- Failure to aim properly with your spells can be devastating.
- It requires a bit of learning to master the weaknesses.
Blackarrow (A-tier)
The Blackarrow is the standard archer class in Mistfall Hunter. It’s fun to use, has excellent damage potential, and has great range. You are still a glass cannon, just like the Sorcerer. You will have to learn how to maintain distance from enemies, especially those that are great at melee.
Pros
- Excellent damage and great range
- Fun class that feels quite entertaining to use
- Good class for beginners to learn how ranged works in the game
Cons
- Getting caught close to a melee enemy can be dangerous
- Not too good in PvP situations
Shadowstrix (B-tier)
If you’re someone who is entirely focused on PvP, the Shadowstrix is an S-tier class. It’s also the most difficult role to learn. Your strength lies in using the stealth and attack moves available in your kit, but you cannot take out an enemy directly. You will need to learn your stealth attacks and reach behind enemies to take them down easily.
In my experience, this class takes a lot of learning. It’s pretty easy to make an error or two while combining your attacks, and you can meet your death. Compared to classes like the Mercenary and Withered Knight, you don’t have much health, either.
Pros
- Excellent in PVP situation
- Good class! If you are solely focused on damage
- Has one of the highest DPS among all classes
Cons
- One of the hardest classes to master
- Not good in a PvE situation
- Struggles against a lot of PvE bosses
Seer (B-tier)
The Seer class is arguably one of the strangest roles to use. On one hand, it’s an S-tier class and a mandatory one in any party. This is the only class that has the ability to heal teammates. Heals are essential once you work against the hardest bosses. It can also turn out to be quite beneficial in PvP situations.
The seer is not at all suited for solo play. It barely has any damage potential, which makes it extremely difficult when you are playing alone. Moreover, you won’t need too many heals in solo play.
Pros
- Must pick in team play
- Only class that can heal teammates
- Helps to keep the team alive for a longer time.
Cons
- Barely any damage potential on its own
- Not ideal for solo play.
- Not ideal for beginners
Withered Knight (A-tier)
The Withered Knight feels like a hybrid between the Mercenary and the Shadowstrix. You have more details on the Mercenary, and it’s heavily melee-focused. Some weaknesses you will associate with the Mercenary class won’t be applicable.
I also love the Withered debuff, which is a core mechanic of this class. If you are someone who likes to evolve more powerful curses during a battle, the Withered Knight is also a great choice. That said, this is not exactly a class I recommend for a beginner. There’s a high-risk, high-reward approach that can easily go very wrong. I will also recommend players avoid this when they are playing solo.
Pros
- Great damage potential and fast combos
- Better mobility than the Mercenary class allows it to have improved range.
- Good for PVP and PVE situations alike
- Adds a bit of randomness that can be quite fun.
Cons
- The randomness associated with the class can turn out to be detrimental in some situations
- Some combos will become boring over a long time.
