Open Beta watchlist

Mistfall Hunter Class Watchlist

This is not a confirmed launch ranking. It is a versioned Open Beta watchlist for what to test first.

Last updated: 2026-06-20 Game version: Open Beta June 2026 Source status: Open Beta + Reported + Needs verification
Open Beta Reported Needs verification
Quick answer: Do not use v0.1 as a launch letter-grade ranking. For Open Beta testing, consider Mercenary as a beginner-safe watch, Withered Knight as the latest beta focus, Seer as a team utility watch, and the damage/mobility classes as solo or pressure watches that need more data.
What is confirmed
  • Six public classes are tracked in v0.1.
  • Withered Knight is highlighted for Open Beta.
  • Solo and up-to-three-player team play both matter for class evaluation.
  • Open Beta balance is not launch balance.
What still needs verification
  • Launch-version class strength.
  • Mode-specific solo, trio, PvP, and PvE ranking data.
  • Exact class mechanics, talent details, gear modifier interactions, and build performance.
  • Patch changes after Open Beta.

Methodology

  1. Use confirmed class names and broad roles only.
  2. Label beta and community impressions as Open Beta or Reported.
  3. Avoid launch letter-grade rankings until there is tested launch-version evidence.
  4. Separate beginner safety, solo watch, team utility, and needs-more-data questions.

How to Use This Watchlist

Beginner-safe

Easier to read first does not mean strongest. Use this label to find a role that may be simpler to understand during early runs.

Solo watch

Worth testing alone does not mean solo tier. Use this label to decide what to compare in real beta runs.

Team utility

Possible group value is not a ranked support tier. It only marks classes whose role may change in three-player play.

Needs more data

No ranking should be trusted yet when launch balance, builds, matchups, or patch changes are still unverified.

Open Beta Class Watchlist

Beginner-safe Mercenary Broadly positioned as a straightforward frontline melee class. Source-checked
Latest beta focus Withered Knight Frontline class highlighted for the Open Beta. Open Beta
Solo watch Sorcerer, Blackarrow, Shadowstrix, Withered Knight Damage, range, mobility, and frontline pressure all need real beta comparison. Needs more data
Team utility Seer, Mercenary, Withered Knight Support and frontline value may rise in three-player teams. Needs more data
Needs more data All classes Launch balance, build performance, gear modifier interactions, and matchup performance are not verified. TBD

Why These Labels Instead of Rankings?

Research shows players search for best class, solo class, trio comp, and tier list early. Those searches are real, but publishing a launch-looking ranking before launch would be misleading. v0.1 answers the intent without pretending to have complete launch data.

What We Will Not Rank Yet

PvP tier

No class receives a PvP rank until matchup data is source-checked and version-labeled.

PvE tier

No class receives a PvE rank until enemy, boss, and farming performance has stable evidence.

Solo tier

Solo notes remain a watchlist until escape safety, pressure, and risk control are tested across classes.

Trio / team tier

Team value needs stable group data before any ranked composition advice is useful.

Build or gear rankings

Build-based rankings require source-checked class data, version-stable tuning, and verified gear interactions.

Needs verification: exact class mechanics, talent details, gear modifier interactions, build performance, PvP matchup charts, boss performance, and launch balance are not confirmed here.
