Mistfall Hunter is a third-person PvPvE extraction RPG that blends dungeon crawling, survival, and player-versus-player combat. While the game does a good job of introducing its basics, there are a lot of details that beginners might overlook. This guide breaks down everything a new player needs to know, from choosing a class to surviving your first extractions.
1. Choosing Your Class
Mistfall currently has five unique classes:
- Mercenary – A tanky melee fighter that excels in close-range combat. Great for both PvE mobs and PvP duels.
- Sorcerer – A ranged spellcaster who deals heavy DPS with fire and ice while also deploying barriers.
- Black Arrow – The archer class, capable of staggering enemies and keeping distance with bow attacks.
- Shadowstrix – A stealthy rogue that goes invisible, drains stamina, and counters enemy healing.
- Seer – A magic user who mixes DPS with support abilities like buffs and healing. Strong in groups but weaker in solo play.
The good news is that you can create multiple characters and test every class without losing progress.
2. Interface and Gameplay Basics
Once you’ve completed the tutorial, you’ll arrive at the main play screen:
- Top Right – Settings, messages, and Gyldenblod (main currency).
- Bottom Left – Chat and news.
- Bottom Right – Choose between solo, trio, or training modes.
Training areas let you practice against preset enemies and test new builds before heading into real runs.
3. Items and Buffs
- Spring Horn – Your default healing item, activated with R.
- Victory Wine – Unlocked later, lets you add buffs like attack, defense, or stamina. More slots unlock as you upgrade your camp’s tavern.
- Affixes – Passive buffs from gear. Multiple items with the same affix stack together and can be further boosted by drinking Victory Wine during an expedition.
4. Progression and Camp Upgrades
Your camp is where you grow stronger between runs:
- Goddess Statue – Boosts healing from Spring Horn.
- Gyldenblod Pool – Increases how much Gyldenblod you can extract.
- Shop & Warehouse – Expands gear storage and shop rarity.
- Tavern – Upgrades Victory Wine to hold more buffs.
- Auction House – Buy and sell items with other players.
5. Skills and Talents
- Skills – Unlocked by leveling up and equipped depending on your weapon. For example, Mercenary can use both sword/shield and hammer skills.
- Talents – Permanent upgrades tied to skills and class abilities. You can reassign talent points anytime at no cost.
6. Combat and PvP Tips
Combat in Mistfall plays like a mix of Elden Ring and extraction shooters:
- Dodging and Blocking – Essential for survival. Blocks stagger enemies if timed well, but red glowing attacks can’t be blocked.
- PvP Strategy – Countering opponents is key. Watch stamina carefully—when a player glows purple, they’re vulnerable.
- Classes Interactions – For example, Mercenary and Shadowstrix can shut down Black Arrow if they close the gap.
7. Looting and Extractions
Loot comes from:
- Killing mobs and players.
- Chests (some locked until nearby enemies are defeated).
- Breakable crates and vases (beware—red/purple ones can apply harmful effects).
Exiting works like a battle royale:
- The Mist closes in over time, forcing encounters.
- To extract, defeat Woodling mobs to collect bells. Each bell allows one player to leave.
- Press H to open the portal and interact with the light to escape with your loot.
Mistfall Hunter rewards smart play, strong builds, and adaptability. Learn each class, upgrade your camp strategically, and always manage your stamina in both PvE and PvP. With practice, you’ll get better at extracting valuable loot and climbing the leaderboards. Whether you play solo or in trios, this guide should give you the foundation to survive longer and make the most of each run.
