The upcoming Viking game Tribes of Midgard has recently introduced all 8 classes that you can embody in the game. Find out everything known so far about the classes, their skills, and their play styles.
What is it about the classes? In the upcoming survival MMO Tribes of Midgard there will be eight playable classes. Two of them, the Warrior and the Ranger, will be available at the start of the game. For the rest, you will have to prove your worth and unlock them gradually.
Berserker, Warrior, Seer or Archer? These are the 8 classes and their abilities
The following eight classes can be played at the launch of Tribes of Midgard on July 27, 2021, or unlocked later. Each class has unique abilities and a divine patron. Additionally, you can further customize each class with runes to fit your preferred play style.
Warrior – Immortal powerhouse with magic
What is it? Warriors are one of the two classes you can play from the beginning. Warriors are part of Tyr’s retinue, the god of war and justice. They specialize in both melee attacks and magic.
What play styles does it support? Warriors are well-suited for players who like to deal a lot of damage and want to use both magic and melee weapons. Additionally, the Warrior is ideal for solo players, as they can resurrect themselves after death.
What are typical skills? Besides their self-rez, the Warrior has access to strong melee skills and can benefit from positioning. For example, they have a skill that allows every second melee attack to deal double damage.
Ranger – Agile ranged fighter
What is it? Rangers are another starter class in Tribes of Midgard. This class is trained by Ullr, the god of archers and competition. Rangers are a ranged class with high mobility.
What play styles does it support? Rangers are for anyone who enjoys executing fast, consistent ranged attacks from a distance. Additionally, you can run around opponents thanks to high mobility and pepper them with arrows.
What are typical skills? The Ranger can reveal the surroundings with one ability, thereby preventing surprises. Furthermore, you can pierce opponents with your arrows and hit multiple enemies.
Sentinel – Tough tank with a shield
What is it? Sentinels are a clearly defined tank class. They fight with melee weapons and shields, which they use to absorb damage. Their patron is the goddess Syn, who guards Freya’s great hall, Sessrumnir.
What play styles does it support? Sentinels are classic tanks. They are not here to deal a lot of damage; rather, they absorb it. This makes them especially valuable in a team, as they can absorb larger amounts of damage far better than other classes.
What are typical skills? Sentinels can still deal some damage with their shields and stun opponents. Additionally, they can use abilities that make opponents more vulnerable as long as they are focused on the Sentinel.
Seer – Healer and supporter
What is it? The Seer is a support class that provides healing and revival for the team. They can also hinder opponents. The Seer belongs to the goddess Idunn, who guards the magical apples from which the other gods draw their immortality.
What play styles does it support? If you like to support your comrades with healing and revives, then the Seer is your preferred class. Especially in fights for the seedling or against bosses, Seers are well-regarded team members due to their healing.
What are typical skills? Seers can heal their friends, but they can also entangle opponents with the roots of the world tree and stop them. Additionally, Seers cannot be interrupted, and with certain skills, they become immune to cold and heat.
Berserker – Explosive damage dealer
What is it? This class specializes in massive damage in melee combat. Berserkers are trained by Thrudr. This is none other than Thor’s powerful daughter, and her name means “strength”.
What play styles does it support? This class is ideal if you want to deal massive melee damage. Rush into the fray and swing until all opponents are dead or you drop. So make sure you have a tank or healer with you if possible.
What are typical skills? Berserkers can fill a gauge called “Fury” in combat. When it is full, their rage literally explodes and damages everyone around the Berserker. Additionally, they can stun opponents.
Hunter – Cunning tricksters
What is it? Hunters are trickster heroes who confuse opponents and attack unexpectedly. They serve the goddess Skadi, who invented skiing among other things.
What play styles does it support? This class is likely to appeal to fans of rogue classes from other MMOs. So if you enjoy confusing your opponents and attacking unexpectedly, you’re in the right place.
What are typical skills? Hunters can set up a totem that allows them to resurrect on death. Additionally, you can create illusions and distract and mislead your opponents.
Guardian – Offensive tank
What is it? The Guardian is another tank class in Tribes of Midgard. He can taunt and bind opponents to himself, but also possesses offensive skills. Guardians are disciples of the god Forseti, the son of Baldur.
What play styles does it support? Here, it appears to be a tank that binds opponents to itself by taunting and humiliating them. In this way, they draw enemies to themselves and away from vulnerable targets.
What are typical skills? In addition to their taunt skills, Guardians can also block damage and ultimately release a breath of ice that hinders and harms enemies.
Warden – Helpful crafting hero
What is it? The Warden is a hero known for crafting and support. His patron is Hermodr, a god known for long messenger journeys.
What play styles does it support? If you enjoy crafting things and supporting your team, this class will provide a lot of fun. The Warden is especially good at fortifying the base and providing raid teams with much-needed buff items.
What are typical skills? The Warden can craft items with fewer resources. Additionally, he can teleport to and from the village and build special structures anywhere in the game world. Also cool: The Warden has an additional rune slot free, which is ideal for optimizers and tinkerers.
These are the current eight classes from Tribes of Midgard. However, since the game will be a live-service game, more classes may come to the game.
Tribes of Midgard will be released on July 27, 2021. If you want to get started with another Viking survival game beforehand, check out the game Valheim. It offers you, among other things, a huge world to explore.
