Compare roles before you commit — every Gyldhunter swaps two weapon stances mid-fight.

Mercenary

medium

Durable frontline bruiser with sword-and-shield stability or hammer pressure — the most common beginner pick for Mistfall Hunter classes.

meleefrontlinebeginner
Sword & ShieldHammer

Sorcerer

medium

Staff elemental caster for ranged burst and crowd control — strong solo poke, punishes bad positioning.

Elemental StaffStardust Focus

Blackarrow

medium

Bow kiting archer applying stagger and status pressure — distance is strength, gap-close is the failure mode.

LongbowPressure Bow

Shadowstrix

medium

Dagger and dual-blade assassin — high skill ceiling stealth burst, less forgiving than Mercenary.

What is a weapon stance?

Each Mistfall Hunter class binds skills to a weapon family. Swap stances mid-fight to change reach, defense, and burst without leaving the run.

AStance APrimary weapon kit — e.g. Mercenary Sword & Shield for block and spacing.
BStance BAlternate weapon kit — e.g. Hammer for Woodling burst windows.
  • Skills follow the equipped stance, not a fixed hotbar forever.
  • Learn one stance first, then practice the swap under pressure.
  • Our class pages show A vs B skill sheets side by side.
