How to Read Class Roles
This class table is a way to narrow your first pick, not a final power ranking. Read each row as a practical field note for Open Beta and pre-launch planning: what the class appears to be for, what kind of pressure it may face, and how stable the evidence is right now.
This means how easy a role may be to understand at a glance. It does not mean the class is strongest, safest, or solved for launch.
Solo notes are about risk, escape decisions, and how much a class may ask from one player. They are not a solo tier list.
Team notes look at possible value in a three-player group, such as frontline presence, ranged pressure, or utility. Exact group strength still needs beta and launch evidence.
Source-checked means the broad class or role is tracked from higher-confidence sources. Open Beta, Reported, and Needs testing labels mean the details should be treated as watchlist material.
Class Role Table
| Class | Broad role | Beginner note | Solo / team watch | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mercenary | Frontline / beginner-friendly melee | Most straightforward first-watch if you want readable melee fundamentals. | Beginner-safe watch / team frontline watch. | Source-checked |
| Sorcerer | Magic damage | Likely rewards spacing and spell timing. | Solo watch / ranged pressure watch. | Needs testing |
| Blackarrow | Ranged physical damage | Likely rewards aim, positioning, and patience. | Solo watch / ranged support watch. | Needs testing |
| Shadowstrix | Mobile assassin | Higher-risk pick if you dislike timing or flanking. | Solo PvP watch / needs more data. | Reported / beta watch |
| Seer | Support / utility | May feel different solo than in a coordinated team. | Team utility watch / needs solo data. | Needs testing |
| Withered Knight | Frontline beta focus | Open Beta class focus; learn spacing and timing first. | Frontline watch / needs launch data. | Open Beta |
Beginner / Solo / Team Watchlist
Mercenary may be easier to read first because the role is straightforward frontline melee.
Sorcerer, Blackarrow, Shadowstrix, and Withered Knight all need real beta evidence before stronger solo recommendations.
Seer and frontline classes may gain value in three-player teams, but exact comp strength remains unverified.
All launch-version rankings, class mechanics, and complete recommendations need tested data.
Class Cards

Frontline / beginner-friendly melee. Exact weapons, talent details, and launch role tuning are not verified here.

Blackarrow
Ranged physical damage. Aim and positioning likely matter, but exact build paths are TBD.
Shadowstrix
Mobile assassin. PvP and matchup claims need source-checking or testing.
Seer
Support / utility. Team value may be stronger than solo value, but this is not final.
Withered Knight
Frontline class highlighted for the Open Beta.
Class Notes: What We Know So Far
Mercenary
Mercenary is tracked as a frontline / beginner-friendly melee role. For a first watch, the value is readability: the job is easier to understand than a timing-heavy or utility-heavy role, but that is not a power claim.
Exact class mechanics, launch tuning, and complete build recommendations still need verification.
Sorcerer
Sorcerer is tracked as magic damage, so spacing and spell timing are the main things to watch. This page does not publish spell names, damage math, or a solved build path.
Treat any beta impression as a question to test, not as launch balance.
Blackarrow
Blackarrow is tracked as ranged physical damage. Aim, patience, and positioning are likely to matter, especially because extraction games punish bad exits and greedy fights.
This page does not treat the role as proof of any locked setup or launch-ready priority list.
Shadowstrix
Shadowstrix is tracked as a mobile assassin role. Claims about burst, stealth-style play, PvP pressure, or matchup value need source-checking or direct testing before they should guide a build.
Use this as a high-risk playstyle watch, not as a solo ranking.
Seer
Seer is tracked as support / utility, which may matter more in coordinated team play than in a first solo run. The gap between solo value and team value still needs more data.
No final team composition or launch role priority is claimed here.
Withered Knight
Withered Knight is highlighted here because it is an Open Beta focus and a frontline role to watch. That makes it important for class coverage, not a ranking.
Exact mechanics, role tuning, and complete build recommendations remain TBD.
Skills, Talents, Weapons and Gear Status
Players are already looking for skills, talents, gear, and builds. This page catches that intent, but it does not turn unstable beta discussion into a finished class guide.
Skill discussion and beta footage may exist, but exact behavior and timing details are not published here until the source base is stable.
Talent choices may change between Open Beta and launch. There is no final talent path on this page.
Do not treat this overview as proof that a role is tied to one setup. Weapon and role details need source-checked confirmation before becoming build advice.
Beta discussions may mention gear modifiers, but this page does not publish a final priority list or claim launch-ready gearing rules.
Complete build recommendations require stable launch data or source-checked beta testing. Until then, class notes stay broad and version-labeled.
