Subclasses

30 specialisations — one permanent choice per hero at level 10

Every hero unlocks a subclass upon reaching level 10. Each subclass grants permanent ability score bonuses, replaces the class active ability with a subclass-specific variant, and activates a unique passive effect that is always on during runs.

Each of the 15 classes has exactly two subclasses — typically one focused on damage and one on utility or survivability. Both are equally valid depending on your party composition. The choice is permanent until a Scroll of Divergence consumable is used.

Class	Subclass	Stat Bonuses	Ability	Identity
Warrior	Berserker	+2 Strength, +1 Agility	Berserker Rage	ATK scales with missing HP — more dangerous the closer to death.
Warrior	Paladin	+2 Toughness, +1 Spirit	Sacred Guard	Shields the party and redirects damage from weakened allies.
Rogue	Assassin	+2 Dexterity, +1 Agility	Shadow Strike	Each crit chains into the next — sustained crit streaks melt single targets.
Rogue	Poisoner	+2 Agility, +1 Intelligence	Venom Cloud	Spreads AoE poison and slows enemy attack speed with toxin stacks.
Mage	Pyromancer	+2 Intelligence, +1 Agility	Inferno	Burn DoT spreads to adjacent enemies and explodes on kill.
Mage	Arcanist	+2 Intelligence, +1 Spirit	Arcane Barrage	Short cooldown nuke rotation — rapid ability cycling with reduced CDs.
Cleric	Lightbringer	+2 Spirit, +1 Intelligence	Radiant Heal	Massive group heals and can revive two allies in a single run.
Cleric	Inquisitor	+2 Intelligence, +1 Strength	Smite	Deals damage and heals simultaneously — every attack mends an ally.
Ranger	Sniper	+2 Dexterity, +1 Agility	Execute Shot	Devastating boss executes — deals triple damage to bosses below 25% HP.
Ranger	Warden	+1 Dexterity, +1 Intelligence, +1 Agility	Volley	Multi-shot pierces all enemies and slows their attack speed.
Chronomancer	Timestop	+2 Intelligence, +1 Agility	Absolute Zero	Full lockdown — stuns all living enemies and resets their attack timers. Base stun lasts 2 ticks and scales with AP. Bosses resist the full freeze and are only briefly stunned for 1 tick.
Chronomancer	Haste Weaver	+2 Agility, +1 Spirit	Acceleration	Party accelerator — advances all allies' attack timers by 2 ticks on cast, triggering partial immediate attacks across the party. AP increases the timer boost.
Enchanter	Hexblade	+2 Dexterity, +1 Intelligence	Mass Hex	Stacks multiple lingering hexes — enemies crumble under compounding debuffs.
Enchanter	Harmonist	+2 Spirit, +1 Intelligence	Resonance	Party enchanter — Resonance grants a +15% ATK boost to all living allies each cast. AP scales the bonus and buff duration.
Swashbuckler	Duelist	+2 Dexterity, +1 Strength	Momentum	Momentum stacks build with each hit — at 5 stacks, execute the target.
Swashbuckler	Corsair	+2 Agility, +1 Dexterity	Broadside	Gold plunder + AoE — every kill splashes to nearby enemies and drops bonus loot.
Druid	Shapeshifter	+2 Vitality, +1 Strength	Primal Surge	Beast Form is a deliberate tool — triggered on demand, not just below 35% HP.
Druid	Thornweaver	+2 Spirit, +1 Toughness	Entangle	Thorns reflect damage and roots enemies in place — the forest fights back.
Alchemist	Bomber	+2 Intelligence, +1 Agility	Explosive Flask	AoE explosive vials — Acid Flask hits all enemies and applies burn stacks.
Alchemist	Transmuter	+2 Dexterity, +1 Intelligence	Conversion	Guaranteed item drop on every kill — turns base materials into rare loot.
Gladiator	Pit Fighter	+2 Toughness, +1 Vitality	Base ability	Thorns fighter — reflects 30% of incoming damage back at the attacker.
Gladiator	Iron Titan	+3 Toughness	Iron Stance	Immovable wall — stance taunts all enemies and a passive reduces all incoming damage.
Valkyrie	Einherjar	+2 Spirit, +1 Vitality	Base ability	Once per floor, saves an ally from death — transferring 50% of the Einherjar's remaining HP to that hero instead of letting them fall.
Valkyrie	Death's Herald	+2 Strength, +1 Agility	Last Rites	Last Rites becomes an offensive surge — granting AP instead of DEF, with all values 25% stronger. When an ally falls, erupts into a +50% ATK rage for 8 ticks.
Samurai	Kensei	+2 Intelligence, +1 Dexterity	Brand Detonate	Spellblade — each strike inscribes an Arcane Brand on the target. At 5 brands, Iaijutsu detonates them in a hybrid burst.
Samurai	Shogun	+2 Strength, +1 Toughness	War Cry	Battle commander — War Cry buffs the entire party. Every kill permanently emboldens allies for the rest of the floor.
Onmyoji	Shrine Keeper	+2 Spirit, +1 Toughness	Sacred Ward	Shikigami manifest as protective wards. Party gains passive HP regen and the shikigami shields the Onmyoji from one hit.
Onmyoji	Wrathcaller	+2 Intelligence, +1 Agility	Oni Swarm	Each kill raises a vengeful shade (up to 3). Oni Swarm strikes all enemies and scales with accumulated shades.

How to Change a Subclass

Scroll of Divergence — rare consumable; re-opens subclass selection without retiring the hero. The hero keeps all XP, gear, and titles.
Retire and re-recruit — retire the hero and hire a new one of the same class. Slower but sometimes worthwhile if the hero's equipment has fallen behind current drops.

Automating Subclass Selection

Use an Archetype set as the guild standard for a class to automatically apply the desired subclass choice to every new recruit. No manual selection needed for future heroes.
