In ''Heroes of Hammerwatch 2'', your chosen class determines your character's abilities, stats, and overall playstyle. You initially choose from four classes: '''Warrior''', '''Paladin''', '''Ranger''', and '''Wizard'''. As you progress, you'll unlock three more: '''Rogue''', '''Warlock''', and '''Sorcerer'''.
