Task Bar Hero Classes

All six classes at a glance

Ranger and Priest form the core

Ranger gives the account a damage investment that stays useful from the first stages through late farming. The class is easy to understand: attack more often, scale the correct physical or projectile damage family, then add reliable critical stats.

Priest covers the jobs that let Ranger stay focused. Healing, buffs and the ability to hold the frontline make Priest the most efficient second class for many accounts. The free class add-on on Steam makes this pairing available without buying a character pack.

Sorcerer and Hunter are damage alternatives

Sorcerer is the natural answer to packed waves. Area damage and cast speed reduce the cleanup that can slow a single-target team. She is an excellent third member when Priest already keeps everyone alive.

Hunter is a burst-oriented alternative whose performance depends more heavily on the weapon and attack-speed gear that drops. Use Hunter when the account has a clear equipment advantage rather than forcing the class to compete with a well-funded Ranger.

Slayer and Knight hold the front

Slayer provides the more complete traditional frontline when party support matters. The class can stabilize early and mid progression while the backline builds damage.

Knight is straightforward and can carry the opening stages defensively, but offers less value once Priest or Slayer survives the same content while contributing stronger support. Existing gear still matters: keep Knight until the replacement can actually do the job.

How to choose your next hero

• Choose Ranger when boss damage or general progression is slow.
• Choose Priest when the team dies or lacks support.
• Choose Sorcerer when waves take longer than bosses.
• Choose Hunter when excellent class-specific gear drops.
• Choose Slayer when a conventional frontline improves consistency.
• Keep Knight only while the early defensive job remains useful.
