Classes
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.
Each class offers three specializations, allowing further customization with new abilities and passive skills. Leveling up classes also provides valuable buffs to all your characters in both single and multiplayer games.
