The six classes
Mistfall Hunter has six playable classes: Mercenary, Sorcerer, Blackarrow, Shadowstrix, Seer and Withered Knight. Weapons and skills are class-gated — gear declares which classes can equip it, so each class is defined as much by what it's allowed to wield as by its own stats.
See the Classes reference for each class's archetype, and the Weapon Types reference for all eleven weapon families.
Weapons drive your skills
Skills aren't a free-standing tree. Each one lists the weapon types that enable it, so swapping your weapon changes the skills you can use. That makes your weapon choice the foundation of your loadout rather than a cosmetic preference.
Dual-mode weapons (major / minor)
Weapons are dual-mode: each carries a major and a minor form, each with its own name, description, preview and sockets, switched via a weapon-usage mode. One weapon effectively gives you two stances to flow between.
Weapon styles also bind to capabilities — the shared gameplay-effect layer used by skills and talents — so a weapon's style is wired directly into the ability system rather than just changing its moveset visually.
Player tips
All tips →- Dagger Technique — When using a Dagger as Shadowstrix, press Major Action and Minor Action simultaneously to enter Stealth.
