Class Reference

About This Database

This database organizes class information into comparable fields so readers can form their own view. It does not rank a class as universally strongest: a choice that suits a cautious extraction route may not suit a team seeking frequent engagements.

Weapon Paths

Official descriptions say hunters can shape a combat style with magic and steel and switch weapons during battle. Use that as a starting point for comparison: note the range, timing, and route demands a weapon path creates before assigning it a label.

Strengths

Look for strengths that are observable in a specific situation, such as reliable space control, safe pressure, recovery options, or a useful response to a known encounter. A strength becomes more useful when the route and team can support it.

Weaknesses

Every route has trade-offs. Limited reach, demanding timing, loud engagements, or a dependence on scarce resources can all be relevant constraints. Record the condition alongside the claim so readers can judge whether it applies to their run.

How Classes Interlock

Xbox's preview notes that players can team up and combine classes. When considering a pairing, ask who begins an engagement, who protects space, who can disengage, and whether both players want the same loot or route.

Community Build Directions

Community build directions are prompts for testing, not authoritative prescriptions. Compare a suggestion against official mechanics, the current game version, and your own results before presenting it as a recommendation.

Quick Choice Guidance

Choose a starting class by the activity you want to practice first. A player learning extractions may value an understandable retreat plan; a coordinated group may value a role that completes its partners' plan. Revisit the choice as weapons, confidence, and goals change.
