Roster · Gamescom 2026 Hands-On
Characters & Classes
Three archetypes, three roles — the parties you'll build your hunts around.
Warrior
Tank / DPS · Demo character
Melee with blocking and parry mechanics. Norse-flavored name; closest feel to classic Monster Hunter weapons.
Archer (Rapid)
DPS · Demo character
Fast-firing ranged bow focused on sustained damage output.
Archer (Charged)
DPS · Demo character
Charge-based bow build trading speed for heavy single hits.
Mage
Support / DPS · Demo character
Magic damage plus healing — the anchor of most team compositions.
How builds work
Each character combines weapon × skill × Godhood Skill. Godhood Skills come in attack / defense / support categories: charge them by landing hits, match them to your role for a bonus passive, or equip cross-role to cover your team's gaps. Official interviews describe the build ceiling as "endlessly" extensible.
