Players who want an official damage pick with a forgiving safety net and an information edge.
The Fool pathway's Sequence 9, officially positioned as a single-target burst mage — not a support slot. Community reports add the paper-figurine kit's fault tolerance and spirit-vision scouting, with a damage curve that blooms late.

Short answers on what is open now, what is sealed, and how source tiers and check dates work on this page.
Six launch pathways are open, verified against the official reveal on 2026-08-29: Seer (Fool), Apprentice (Door), Spectator (Visionary), Mystery Pryer (Hermit), Warrior (Twilight Giant) and Bard (Sun). The other sixteen are sealed records; only Marauder (Error) and Savant (Paragon) keep archive pages — treat those as novel background, never as playable classes. Roster re-checked 2026-09-30.
The official reveal recommends the Mystery Pryer for new players (relaxed operation). Community feedback also favors the Warrior for a zero-budget, high-survivability start.
No. Your pathway locks in at character creation and there is no cross-pathway switching in the launch client; advancement happens inside your pathway (materials → potion → drink). Community-reported, verified 2026-08-29.
PVE tiers measure dungeon and leveling efficiency; PVP tiers measure arena and combat strength — they can differ. Tier marks for Warrior and Bard are pending until the meta settles.
The comparison table links each class to its dedicated pathway guide page; sealed pathways (Marauder, Savant) link to sealed archives.
No — the intents differ. This page answers "which pathway should I start with"; the dated tier list ranks how each pathway currently performs by scenario. We keep ratings there and selection reasoning here. (Re-checked 2026-09-30.)
