Quick Answer
Guildrun classes are starting identities, not permanent cages. The collected material confirms seven class names in the current demo context: Assassin, Warrior, Duelist, Vanguard, Tank, Mage, and Mystic. Classes help you understand a hero's early role, rank-up direction, specialization options, modifiers, item choices, relic planning, and Backup value.
The most important beginner rule is that same-class heroes do not automatically create a team bonus unless a modifier, relic, item, or ability says so. A class label is a clue. The actual build comes from the effects your run offers.
All Guildrun Classes
The verified class names are Assassin, Warrior, Duelist, Vanguard, Tank, Mage, and Mystic. These are safe to use for navigation, build planning, and internal links. A complete final-release class list is still 待确认 because Guildrun is in demo-era material.
Assassin pages should usually discuss burst, Crit, Stealth, execute pressure, Shards, and Backup patterns when the source supports them. Warrior and Duelist pages should focus on direct combat, Rush, Attack, Attack Speed, and trigger-heavy pressure. Tank and Vanguard pages should focus on Max HP, Defense, Shield, first-contact survival, and team protection.
Mage and Mystic pages should cover Magic, casts, Burn, Frost, Shields, support, sustain, and economy where the material connects those systems. Do not force every Mage or Mystic into the same role. Guildrun's appeal is that class and specialization choices can bend a hero into a different job.
How Classes Affect Builds
Classes help players decide who should protect the team, who should deal damage, and who should support the run plan. Guildrun builds are not just one hero choice; they also involve specializations, items, relics, and team-size limits. That means a class page should connect players to build pages instead of acting like a static roster label.
Class modifiers are especially important because they can change what a hero wants from the run. The collected material connects classes to Crit scaling, Attack/Magic growth, Stall, Rush, Poison, Frost, Burn, Shield, sustain, and Backup effects. Always read the exact modifier before assuming two same-class heroes automatically create a bonus.
How Multiclassing Works
Official material says heroes can move beyond their starting roles through ranks, specialization paths, cross-class modifiers, items, and team-wide relics. That means a hero's first class tells you where they begin, not the only job they can ever do. Zuri can be discussed as a Tank/Assassin hybrid, while Nyx can connect Duelist, Rush, and Assassin support depending on the route.
Multiclassing is powerful because it opens more modifiers and build angles. It also adds decision risk. A hero with more possible directions can become stronger, but only if the offered modifiers, relics, items, and team roles actually support the same plan.
Do Same-Class Heroes Give Synergy?
Multiple heroes sharing a class can matter when a modifier, relic, item, or specialization rewards that class. However, the material warns that same-class heroes do not automatically create a team bonus unless an effect says so. This is an important beginner distinction.
The right question is not “do I have two of the same class?” The right question is “what effect rewards this class, and can my board trigger it often?” If the answer is unclear, the class label is only a clue, not a build.
Best Class in Guildrun
There is no verified universal best class. Assassin can be excellent in Rush, Crit, Shard, and execute shells, but it needs economy and survivability. Duelist can be powerful with Attack Speed and Rush/Stall triggers, but a Duelist who dies first will not scale.
Tank and Vanguard classes are often the difference between a real team and a fragile highlight build. Mage and Mystic classes can define Magic, Burn, Frost, Shield, support, and economy routes. The best class is the one that your current run can support with ranks, relics, items, and a clear role.
Classes for Red Rift and Endless
Red Rift usually punishes weak frontlines and poor boss plans. That makes Tank, Vanguard, Frost, Poison, Assassin pressure, or sustain-based class paths more important when the source supports them. Endless cares more about repeatable or permanent scaling, so class choices that keep adding value over time become more important than static bonuses.
Do not copy a Red Rift class idea into Endless without checking the scaling. A class that solves early pressure may not solve deep floors. A class that scales well may still lose before it turns on if the opening is too weak.
What To Read Next
Use the beginner guide first if you are learning board positioning, ranks, shops, Shards, and events. Use the builds page to compare team structures. Use relics when you need to understand run-wide choices, and use character pages when you need specialization-specific advice.
