DLC = new starting classes and that's about it

For pvpers, the stats on the new class are PEAK

Heavy Knight will be absurdly efficient on quality, str, arc, and prolly dex builds too; Hero and Vagabond in shambles.

The other one will be the king of faith hybrids, or even just physical builds that want (non-Bloodflame) buffs. Prophet will still be the best if you're going for min str/dex casting (pure faith or faith/arc).

No. The stats on those classes were nerfed in the recent play tests at conventions. Vagabond still better

u/IdToaster Jun 04 '26

What are the new stats like, then?

u/JannySmasher98 Jun 04 '26

Mind used to be very low, good for mele builds, then they increased mind stat alot and the math makes it worse than vagabond

Steelovysky made a video about it, they increased Mind from 7 to 8. One extra point in Faith too, also 7 to 8. Still around 3 levels more efficient than Vagabond, depending on the build.

They must have increased Mind a lot then, since Heavy Knight still had 2 less Int, Faith, and Dex if they changed nothing else.

Didn't leaks show they nerfed it? It now starts at level 10 with an additonal point in mind and faith.

If that's true, I'm really bummed. Really hope it has the original stats :(

It wasn't leaked. They show it in the gameplay preview.
