Hunters are agile, precise, and often excel at burst damage and evasive maneuvers. They are the masters of the battlefield, capable of quickly repositioning and delivering devastating blows.

Core Identity:

  • Mobility: Highest base mobility stat, enhanced by Dodge.
  • Precision: Many abilities reward critical hits.
  • Evasion: Dodge class ability provides quick escapes or utility.

Subclasses & Playstyles:

  • Arcstrider (Arc): Melee-focused, chain lightning, high mobility. Builds often revolve around amplified, combination blow, and blinding enemies.
  • Gunslinger (Solar): Precision damage, Golden Gun for boss DPS or clearing adds. Builds focus on ignitions, radiant buffs, and knife tricks.
  • Nightstalker (Void): Stealth, debuffs, crowd control. Void invisibility, smoke bombs, and tethering enemies are key. Great for support and survivability.
  • Revenant (Stasis): Freezing and shattering enemies. Slowing fields, shurikens, and the Silence and Squall Super for area denial.
  • Threadrunner (Strand): Grapple mobility, suspending enemies, unraveling. Woven Mail for damage resistance, high-flying combat.

Buildcrafting Focus:

Hunters often prioritize Mobility for faster dodges, Resilience for survivability, and Discipline for grenade cooldowns. Exotic armor like Star-Eater Scales, Gyrfalcon's Hauberk, and Orpheus Rig are popular choices for enhancing Supers and abilities.
