Classes

Classes

There are currently 12 classes in MK: Ultra, with concrete plans for 5 more and a goal of adding as many as we feel like. While all classes can succeed on their own, some may do so more effectively than others. Some classes really begin to shine when you have multiple people taking on different roles following the traditional holy trinity breakdown of Tank, Healer, and DPS.

Tanks

Tanks focus on taking damage, controlling the movement of enemies, and otherwise protecting their teammates.

Green Knight

The Green Knight wields the power of a nature spirit to heal and cleanse their allies and harry their enemies.

Green Knights wear heavy armor and are unlocked by the Desperate Icon.
