Mistfall Hunter gives players a choice between several unique classes, each with different strengths in combat, survival, and PvP. Picking the right one can make your early runs smoother and help you extract more loot. To make things easier, here’s a tier list ranking all classes from S to C tier based on their overall performance in both solo and team play.
S-Tier – Best Overall
Mercenary
- Strengths: Durable melee tank, excels in close-range fights, strong against mobs and players.
- Why S-Tier: High survivability and easy to learn. Perfect for new players who want consistency in both PvE and PvP.
Shadowstrix
- Strengths: Stealth, invisibility, stamina drain, healing counter.
- Why S-Tier: Deadly in PvP, especially against careless opponents. Can outplay ranged classes and escape dangerous situations.
A-Tier – Strong but Situational
Black Arrow
- Strengths: Long-range archer, strong stagger potential, safe playstyle.
- Weakness: Weak when cornered by melee classes.
- Why A-Tier: Great for kiting and ranged damage, but struggles if enemies close the gap. Best in teams with frontline protection.
Seer
- Strengths: Hybrid of DPS and support, can buff allies and heal.
- Weakness: Lower survivability when solo.
- Why A-Tier: A solid pick in trios thanks to utility. Not as strong for solo players compared to Mercenary or Shadowstrix.
B-Tier – Decent but Needs More Setup
Sorcerer
- Strengths: High burst damage with fire and ice spells, can deploy barriers.
- Weakness: Fragile, long cast times, requires good positioning.
- Why B-Tier: Powerful if mastered, but very punishing for beginners. Better as a secondary DPS in teams.
C-Tier – Least Recommended
- (Currently, no class is completely unplayable, but some fall behind due to higher difficulty or weaker scaling. If balance changes arrive, this may shift.)
For beginners, the Mercenary is the most reliable choice thanks to its durability and simple mechanics. Shadowstrix shines for players who enjoy sneaky PvP tactics, while Seer and Black Arrow work best in coordinated teams. Sorcerer can dish out great damage but requires patience and skill to master.
Choosing the right class depends on whether you plan to play solo or with a group. As the game evolves with new updates, the class rankings might shift, but this tier list should help you pick the best starting point for your Mistfall Hunter journey.
