Class Overview: The Six Starting Options

Mistfall Hunter launches with six classes, each with two specializations or weapon loadouts that dramatically change how you play. Below is a quick reference table to help you compare them at a glance.

Each class starts at level one with a basic set of abilities. As you progress, you unlock more skills and deeper mechanics, making each class more complex and rewarding over time.

Mercenary: The Versatile Frontliner

The Mercenary is your classic warrior class, wielding a sword and shield or a massive hammer. Based on player experience from early gameplay, this class excels at close-quarters combat with high survivability.

Sword & Shield Loadout

• Auto Attack (Left Click): Standard slashing combo.
• Block (Right Click): Hold to raise your shield and reduce incoming damage.
• Dash & Knockup (Shift + direction): A quick lunge that can launch enemies into the air.
• Slice and Dice (Q): A powerful multi-hit ability that deals significant damage.
• Spinning Attack (E): A sustained spin attack that consumes your yellow energy bar. It continues as long as you hold the button and you have energy, dealing massive area damage.

Hammer Loadout

Switching to the hammer completely changes your abilities:

• Auto Attack (Left Click): Slow, heavy swings that deal high damage.
• Charged Attack (Hold Left Click): A powerful jumping slam that deals huge area damage.
• Knockup (Q): Launches enemies into the air.
• Garen-style Spin (E): A spinning attack similar to the sword's, but with hammer animations and damage.

Community Insight: Players report that the Mercenary feels incredibly powerful against basic enemies, with the hammer loadout offering "insane" burst damage, especially the jumping attack.

Sorceress: Master of the Arcane

The Sorceress is a ranged magic user who wields a staff. She can choose between two specializations: Stardust Magic and Elementalist.

• Comet (Common Magic): Summons a damaging comet from the sky.

Elementalist

• Frost Cone (Q): A wave of ice that slows enemies (does not knock back).
• Electric Shock (E): Stuns an enemy for a short duration.
• Area Denial (Right Click): Similar to Stardust, but with a different area-of-effect ability.

Sorceress Specialization Comparison

Note: The Sorceress has access to "Common Magic" abilities like Shield and Comet, which are shared across both specializations.

Black Arrow: The Ranged Precision Striker

The Black Arrow is the dedicated ranged physical damage dealer, similar to a ranger or archer class. Unlike some other extraction games, the Black Arrow has unlimited arrows, allowing for sustained ranged combat.

Black Arrow vs. Traditional Rangers

Player Experience: The Black Arrow is highly mobile and deals substantial damage, especially with headshots. The unlimited ammo is a significant quality-of-life improvement over similar classes in other games.

Shadow Tricks: The Elusive Assassin

The Shadow Tricks class is the rogue or assassin archetype, focusing on stealth, mobility, and burst damage. Like the Mercenary, it has two distinct weapon loadouts.

Dagger Loadout

• Fury Bar: A yellow bar that builds as you attack, enhancing abilities.
• Right Click: A powerful lunge attack.
• E Ability: A swift dash or strike.
• Invisibility: Becomes a single ability with no cooldown, allowing for frequent stealth.
