About this class

The Hunter is a paid-DLC crossbow DPS whose bolts apply elemental effects and AoE. Ice shots can freeze bosses — huge tempo swing — but she is a glass cannon and must stay behind the Knight.

Skill priority

  • Enhance Attack Damage as hard as possible — every elemental bolt scales from it.
  • Early: Frost Bolt (freeze) + Explosive Bolt for packs; transition to Quick Loader for bolt spam at higher levels.
  • Charge Trap and Crossbow Turret for setup burst before waves.
  • Never run without Priest — Blessing of Might multiplies her damage.
  • Keep in rear formation slot — never slot 1.

Attack SpeedNo hard cap — more bolts, more procs.
Crit ChanceNo hard cap; can exceed 100% for spikes.

Cube & gear

  • Socket attack, attack-speed, and crit — glass cannon gearing.
  • Ancient Explosive Bolt enchants and helmet mods can rival Ranger DPS in late game (community tier lists).

Best teams

  • Knight + Hunter + Priest — consensus strongest trio: tank, top DPS, heals.
  • Knight + Hunter + Sorcerer — maximum DPS variant when survival is solved.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Running without Priest — leaves most damage on the table.
  • Defensive stats on a glass cannon.
  • Front slot where she eats hits.
  • Buying Hunter DLC before Formation slot 2 and economy runes.
