Hero Classes

Updated 9 October 2026

Every hero is a Knight, a Mage or a Rogue. Your class sets your starting stats, how fast they grow, which weapons you can hold, and one signature ability. All three are viable at every stage of the game — they get there differently.

The three classes

Class	Role	Weapon	Plays like
Knight	Tank	Sword, Axe, Hammer	The toughest hero in the game. Highest health, the only class with a shield, and a large attack bonus to go with it.
Mage	Burst caster	Staff	Fragile but devastating with an elemental weapon — elemental damage hits far harder for a Mage than for anyone else.
Rogue	Fast and critical	Dagger, Bow	The fastest attacker, with the highest crit chance and the hardest-hitting crits.

Starting stats and growth

These are the class values before any gear. Every level adds the growth shown, and the Knight's health is multiplied by a further 1.35 on top.

Class	Start HP	Start Attack	Attack speed	Crit chance	Crit damage	HP / level	Attack / level
Knight	150	9	0.85	8%	2x	+18	+1.9
Mage	80	17	0.72	10%	2x	+8	+3.4
Rogue	100	11	1.50	25%	3x	+11	+2.3

Crit damage is fixed by class and no item can change it: Knight and Mage crits hit for double, Rogue crits for triple.

Knights currently carry a balance buff. Knight attack is scaled up by 43% on top of the numbers above, to keep the class competitive with Mage and Rogue damage. This is a balance lever the team tunes over time, so the exact figure can change — the value in effect is always what the server uses for your damage, your Power and the leaderboard.

Signature abilities

Class	Ability	What it does
Knight	Bulwark	+35% maximum health, always on. The reason Knights survive zones that kill everyone else.
Mage	Second Wind	Revives once at 25% health when taking a lethal hit. 30-second cooldown.
Rogue	Fury	Below half health, attack speed triples for 5 seconds. 30-second cooldown.

Your progress while you are away, your Power and your leaderboard standing are worked out from your stats. Bulwark is part of your stats. Second Wind, Fury and the Mage specials below are combat flourishes and are not part of that calculation.

Elemental damage

Elemental damage counts for every class, but a Mage gets five times the Tier I elemental bonus — an elemental weapon roughly doubles a Mage's damage output — and double the bonus of every higher stone tier. An element adds a share of your Attack to every hit:

Class	Tier I	Each higher stone tier adds	Tier V
Knight	35% of Attack	+7%	63%
Mage	175% of Attack	+14%	231%
Rogue	35% of Attack	+7%	63%

Stone tiers come from Elemental Stones — see that section for how to get and use them. A weapon that already had an element before stones existed counts as Tier I.

Mage specials

With an elemental weapon equipped, the Mage also casts a special on every third attack:

Element	Special	Effect
Ice	Frozen Spear	1.5x damage
Fire	Fireball	2.2x damage
Lightning	Lightning Strike	1.2x damage and a guaranteed stun

A special hits for your Attack times the number shown, times the Mage's element bonus.

Equipment slots

Knights equip 8 slots — weapon, shield, helmet, chest, gloves, boots, amulet and ring. Mages and Rogues equip 7, with no shield. Only Knights can use shields, and shields only drop for Knights.

This also changes the full-set bonus: a Knight needs all 8 pieces at the same rarity to complete a set, while a Mage or Rogue needs 7. (From Celestial up, a mix of Celestial, Angel and God pieces still counts — see Stats & Power.)

Changing class

Your class is not permanent. A Class Change can be bought from the Store, and it keeps your level, your gear and your progress — only the class changes. There is a 48-hour cooldown between changes, and your leaderboard standing is frozen for 24 hours afterwards so a late switch cannot be used to game a season ending.

Weapons do not carry across. A Knight who becomes a Mage cannot hold their sword, and any gear the new class cannot equip is unequipped and returned to your bag. Check what you will be able to wear before you switch.

Power

Your Power number is a single figure blending damage output, health, dodge and defence, weighted toward damage. It feeds the leaderboard and is one of the factors in how the reward pool is shared. It includes elemental damage — so a Mage with an elemental weapon shows the Power that weapon really gives them, and it rises with the stone tier on that weapon. The exact formula is in Stats & Power.
