Start with a playstyle, not an untested tier list
For the current selectable roster, use Dimraeth classes. This guide focuses on choosing between those options. No class is declared best: we have not performed controlled damage, survival or patch-specific balance tests.
| Your starting preference | First option to inspect | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Close-range attacks and deliberate timing | Brawler | A melee identity does not establish that every race pairing has identical reach or stamina costs. |
| Elemental abilities alongside weapon attacks | Mage, also called Magician | Spellbooks still have attribute requirements. |
| Exploring the newly available third class | Shadow | Availability is confirmed; exact current abilities and optimal stat allocation are not verified here. |
Read the five-slot loadout together
Steam describes five equipped spells, with abilities from race, class and crafted spellbooks. Before spending resources, compare the whole loadout: can you meet its requirements, can you use it alongside your weapon, and are several slots doing the same job?
The spell reference separates that current published system from an older demo catalogue. Its historical effects are not current damage benchmarks.
Choose your race separately
The current roster lists Humans, Elves and Minotaurs. Read races and availability before following a build involving a race absent from your character creator. Future eight-race/six-class marketing does not make all 48 advertised combinations available today.
Planning a co-op character
Ask your group who will host and which world you will progress in. Then discuss what each player's actual equipped abilities can do, rather than assigning MMO roles by class name. See co-op and save progression.
Before investing heavily, inspect the game's current respec options yourself. This guide does not promise free resets or prescribe irreversible stat spending.
