Warrior Guide and Specializations

Strong and resilient, Warriors are the bulwark of the team. They play on the front-line to take and dish damage, draw aggro from enemies, and deploy crowd control abilities.

Champion Specialization

Champions lean into the Warrior's defensive abilities, and use their shields to play both offense and defense.

▲ Back to Classes ▶︎ Champion Build

Slayer Specialization

Slayers specialize in two-handed weapons to take on a more aggressive playstyle. They capitalize on heavy attacks and quick movement.

▲ Back to Classes ▶︎ Slayer Build

Reaper Specialization

Reapers gain life-stealing abilities. They get more powerful the more damage they take, so they can clutch even the direst of situations.

Mage Guide and Specializations

Using the power of the Fade, Mages tend to fight from a distance. They cast and combine spells to inflict elemental damage from the backline.

▲ Back to Classes ▶︎ Mage Builds

Death Caller Specialization

Death Callers toy with the enemy's life force. They use necromancy to drain foes of strength and enhance their own abilities.

▲ Back to Classes ▶︎ Death Caller Build

Spellblade Specialization

Spellblades take the fight up close and personal, and use both their melee and magic prowess to fight.

▲ Back to Classes ▶︎ Spellblade Build

Evoker Specialization

Evokers bring a chilling touch to the fight. They specialize in ice magic to freeze enemies and take control of the battlefield.

▲ Back to Classes ▶︎ Evoker Build

Rogue Guide and Specializations

Rogues are known for their speed, agility, and good timing. Instead of taking enemies head-on like the Warrior, they rely on parries and dodges on the battlefield.

▲ Back to Classes ▶︎ Rogue Builds

Duelist Specialization

Dual-wielding blades, Duelists are the quickest on the field. They use dodges and parries to avoid damage and dish it right back.

▲ Back to Classes ▶︎ Duelist Build

Veil Ranger Specialization

Favoring to fight at range, Veil Rangers use their mastery of the bow to dispatch enemies from afar.

▲ Back to Classes ▶︎ Veil Ranger Build

Saboteur Specialization

Saboteurs use all sorts of traps and contraptions on the battlefield, making it hard for enemies to move and securing the advantage for the team.

You Can't Change Your Class

Just like choosing your race, class choice has an effect on your background, so you can't change your class for the rest of that playthrough or there would be inconsistencies in the story.

Unlock Specializations with Skills

Specializations are sub-classes with unique skill trees that let you customize your playstyle even further. There are 9 specializations in Veilguard (3 for each class), and you can only activate one Specialization at a time.

You unlock Specializations by leveling up and acquiring skills that branch toward the Specialization of your choosing.

You Can Change Specializations Anytime

Respec

Unlike Classes, you can switch Specializations anytime you want by refunding all skill points spent.
