Classes
In Heroes of Hammerwatch 2, your chosen class determines your character's abilities, stats, and overall playstyle. You can initially choose from four classes: Warrior, Paladin, Ranger, and Wizard. As you progress through the game, you'll unlock the remaining three classes: Rogue, Warlock, and Sorcerer.
Each class offers three unique specializations, allowing you to further customize your character by gaining new abilities and passive skills. Additionally, leveling up your classes provides valuable buffs to all your characters in both single and multiplayer games.
