Summary

When you dive intoAtlyss, one of the first big decisions you’ll face is choosing your class. You’ll choose from different races, each with unique abilities—Imps, Humans, and Kubolds, to name a few. But, it’s your class that determines how you’ll approach combat, exploration, and teamwork.

Fighters thrive on raw power, Mystics harness magic, and Bandits rely on agility and stealth. The Novice class, while basic, gives you a glimpse of your potential. Every class influences your playstyle, from tanking hits to casting spells or striking quickly. Today, we’re ranking the classes to see which stands out (and which suits you best).

1Fighter

The Fighter takes the top spot for one simple reason: it’s reliable. It’s all about brute strength and durability. You can take hits, deal damage, and hold your ground when things get tough. Plus, if you finallymaster heavy melee weapons, you can deliver devastating blows that can turn the tide of battle.

Slows and damages enemies around you. Great for crowd control.

Rage

Temporarily increases your attack power.

Skills like Stomp and Cyclone make crowd control a breeze, while Shield Bash gives you the ability to stun pesky enemies. And when you activate Rage, you’ll feel unstoppable.

If you’re a fan of close combat and charging fearlessly into action, you should definitely go the Fighter route. It’s durable, powerful, and pretty easy to get accustomed to.

Speed and range aren’t the Fighter’s strong suits. If you’re up against enemies who like to kite, you might feel a little slow and clunky. But hey, that’s what teammates are for!

2Mystic

This class is perfect for players who like to plan their attacks andlook flashy with a snazzy scepter. Mystics are all about magic—big, flashy, damage-dealing magic. Skills like Fluxbolt and Fluxspear let you hit hard from afar, while Nova and Blink give you tools to control the battlefield and escape danger. You can even buff yourself and your team with Imbue, making you an asset in group fights.

Enhances your magic power and mana pool.

Manaflow

Boosts your mana regeneration, keeping you casting longer.

Durability is the Mystic’s weak spot. If you’re caught off guard, you won’t last long. Plus, you’ll need to keep an eye on your mana—you don’t want to run out mid-fight. But with practice, these weaknesses become manageable.

3Bandit

If you like speed, agility, and a bit of trickery, the Bandit might just be your new favorite class. This one is all about being clever—poisoning enemies with Venom Shot, sneaking around with Mist Veil, or setting traps to catch foes off guard. Bandits are the definition of hit-and-run tactics, striking when the time is right and disappearing before the enemy knows what hit them.

Fires a poisonous projectile that damages enemies over time.

Mist Veil

Turns you invisible, letting you sneak up on enemies or escape danger.

Reduces enemy defense and movement speed with a powerful strike.

Pay Day

Stuns enemies and makes them drop currency.

The Bandit isn’t for everyone. It’s a more advanced class that relies heavily on timing and positioning. If you’re not quick on your feet, you might struggle.

Plus, while the Bandit hasgreat tools for dealing with enemies,it lacks the raw power of the Fighter or the sheer range of the Mystic. But for players who love a challenge, the Bandit is incredibly rewarding.

4Novice

The Novice class isn’t technically a “class” in the same way the others are. It’s basically a tutorial phase where you learn the ropes of the game before you’re presented with all the exciting class choices. It has a few skills that help keep you alive, like healing and teleportation—really nothing fancy. However, what makes it special is that your racial skills give you a little taste of your potential future.

Description

Recall

Teleports you back to a safe zone (Sanctum) and leaves a portal for a quick return.

Recovery

Restores health over time, but it stops working if you take a hit.

Rock Toss

Deals small damage by throwing a rock. Useful when you’re just starting.

Racial Skills

Each race gets its own unique skill. For example, Imps have Siphon Leech for health stealing.

Everyone starts as this class, so don’t overthink it. Focus on leveling up and getting comfortable with the controls.
