Hero Siege Classes
Compare all professions and find your playstyle. Each class has unique mechanics, damage types, and build paths.
About Classes
Hero Siege features 24 unique classes, each with its own sub-skill tree and multiple build paths. Classes span a wide range of playstyles: summoners like Necromancer and Illusionist control armies of minions, casters like Jotunn and Stormweaver flood the screen with elemental projectiles, and hybrid classes like Samurai and Demon Slayer switch between melee and ranged combat.
Choosing your first class is one of the most important decisions in Hero Siege. Your class determines your available skills, damage type, and overall gameplay feel for the entire playthrough. While you can respec skill points later, changing classes requires starting a new character. We recommend starting with a beginner-friendly class like Necromancer (5-star rating), Viking (4-star), or Samurai — these classes have straightforward mechanics and don't require specific gear to feel powerful.
Each class card below shows its role and beginner-friendliness rating. For strength rankings, check the Tier List. For specific build configurations with skills, gear, and rotation guides, visit individual class detail pages or browse Builds.
