MercenaryBruiser · Sword & Shield / Hammer

The archetypal frontline Hunter — a durable melee bruiser built around sword-and-board and blunt weapons, trading sustained pressure for survivability.

ASolid pick in our tier read: The unanimous beginner pick — high base survivability and forgiving sword-and-board play that makes mistakes cheap while you learn routes and extraction timing. Damage is solid rather than scary; single-target boss damage lags the dedicated DPS classes.
