Classes Overview

Mistfall Hunter shipped with six classes, all of them called Gyldhunters. Five carry two weapon sets and swap between them; the Sorcerer is the exception, running a single staff split into two schools of magic instead.

The Six Classes and Their Weapons

Picking One

The weapon set matters more than the class name. A Withered Knight on Polearm and Shield and a Withered Knight on Greatsword want opposite things from a fight, and the same is true of a Mercenary holding a shield versus swinging a greathammer. Choose the set for your squad size first: shields and catalysts pay off in a trio, the heavy damage sets pay off solo.

The October 15 Rule That Changed Matchups

One patch line is worth more than any tier list when you are picking a class. Before October 15, 2026, a ranged class could deny a melee player's heal with chip damage: any hit broke the Healing Elixir's heal-over-time. That no longer works for attacks Bellring classes as having no impact, and the note names them:

Charged and committed attacks still break it. Bellring's stated reason was that melee classes were being interrupted out of every re-engagement, and it flagged the change as experimental, so it may be tuned again. What it means in practice: the frontline classes got better at disengaging and coming back, and poking from range is no longer a free way to stop a Mercenary from healing up mid-fight.

Season 1 Is Ending

Your class choice is one of the few things the reset does not touch. Characters keep their appearance, level, skills, and talent points into Season 2, so there is no reason to delay committing to a class now. See what carries into Season 2 for the rest.
