Choose a play style

CHOOSE YOUR
HERO.

Pick a style that suits your route through the arena. The nine classes below describe the open-source community reconstruction; the original game can differ.

Class overview

The community reconstruction begins with a class-specific attack and offers additional abilities through level-up cards. At level 5, each class gains a movement spell bound to F. These details are documented for that build; Aethus's original has its own balance and may use different abilities.

For the exact current ability pool, check the community project's source and documentation. Choose based on a style you enjoy, then judge the cards you actually receive in a run.

Warrior

Melee pressure and sweeping attacks. Plan a route that keeps targets close without getting trapped.

Paladin

Holy effects and protection. A balanced option when you want offense with defensive support.

Hunter

Ranged attacks and kiting. Keep distance and use open lanes to control the crowd.

Rogue

Fast strikes and mobility. Rewarding when you move decisively through gaps.

Priest

Shadow and holy themed abilities. Build around the tools offered in each run.

Shaman

Elemental effects with a versatile rhythm. Watch for upgrades that broaden your coverage.

Mage

Frost, fire, and arcane magic. Control space and keep distance while spells fire.

Warlock

Dark magic and sustained pressure. Give damage-over-time effects room to work.

Druid

Nature themed abilities and flexible play. Adapt to the mix of damage and survival cards.

Which class should you try first?

Start with the feel you want. Warrior offers a direct close-range challenge; Mage suits players who like space control; Hunter is a natural choice if you prefer distance and movement. None is a guaranteed “best” class: upgrade offers, zone, and your movement all affect a run.
