Hypixel Ravengard Classes: Stats, Weapons and Skills

Hypixel Ravengard classes are distinct combat roles featuring unique weapon restrictions, base attributes, and selectable abilities for three-player dungeon runs. Players choose between the defensive Knight, heavy-hitting Warrior, stealthy Assassin, ranged Hunter, or spellcasting Sorcerer to match team compositions.

What Are the Five Hypixel Ravengard Classes?

Hypixel Ravengard classes are combat archetypes configured with specific weapon proficiencies, default health pools, and customizable active abilities. When beginning an expedition from Ravenport, ship captain Diago prompts you to select an initial class profile. Profiles store your equipment loadout, character level, and unlocked skill choices, supporting up to five separate profiles per account.

Equipment discovered in chests, dropped by dungeon mobs, or scavenged from fallen adventurers carries strict class restrictions. Unusable items display a grayed-out icon marked with an X in your bag. These off-class items cannot be equipped or swung in battle, but they retain value when brought back to Ravenport merchants or salvaged for crafting components.

As confirmed in the Playtest 3 announcement on the official Hypixel forums, developer balance updates adjusted the roster from the initial four archetypes to five by integrating the spellcasting Sorcerer and adjusting baseline health values across the board.

How Do Base Stats and Abilities Compare Across Classes?

Base stats are baseline numeric ratings that govern survivability, melee reach, stamina capacity, and damage output across every archetype. Every class unlocks seven distinct abilities throughout character progression. Two skills are granted by default, while four additional skills unlock through early level-ups. You can equip a maximum of two active abilities at any time: one mapped to your drop key (Q) and the second mapped to your offhand swap key (F).

Knight

The knight functions as the primary defensive anchor, holding 200 base health and wielding one-handed swords, maces, halberds, great swords, and shields. Playtest 3 introduced directional shield blocking and directional parrying, removing universal omni-directional damage absorption. Shields no longer consume stamina simply by being raised, and stamina reduction from blocking hits has been decreased.

• Sentinel: Increases physical defense by 30% for 10 seconds (100-second cooldown).
• Provoke: Taunts all enemies within a 7-block radius to force aggro onto the user.
• Shield Bash: Pushes back enemies within a 5-block radius; cooldown reduced from 30 to 20 seconds.
• Rally: Applies a 20% team damage buff within a 6-block radius for 90 seconds, and functions even when no teammates stand nearby.
• Wound: Deals 15 damage over time every second for 5 seconds (20-second cooldown).
• Recovery: Restores 45 HP instantly (120-second cooldown).
• Direct Hit: Increases attack damage by 20% for 5 seconds (40-second cooldown).

Warrior

The warrior focuses on high melee damage, wielding heavy two-handed weapons including great axes, great swords, halberds, and war hammers. In Playtest 3, warrior base health was tuned from 220 to 200 HP to offset its extreme physical striking strength.

• War Cry: Increases damage on your next strike by 20% (40-second cooldown).
• Armor Break: Applies a self-buff allowing the warrior to ignore 40% of enemy armor for 7 seconds (50-second cooldown).
• Bolster: Reduces incoming damage by 20% for 10 seconds, with its cooldown reduced from 60 to 50 seconds.
• Cool Off: Recovers 45 HP over a 10-second duration (80-second cooldown).
• Rush: Eliminates stamina depletion while sprinting or blocking for 5 seconds.
• Overcharged: Replaces the former Overpower skill, granting 20% bonus defense and elevating attack speed to 2.0 for 7 seconds.
• Carnage: Increases attack knockback for 5 seconds.

Assassin

The assassin relies on swift burst windows and hit-and-run tactics, wielding daggers with high attack speeds. Following balance adjustments, assassin base health increased from 160 to 190 HP, and base stamina rose from 100 to 130.

• Precise Accuracy: Increases attack damage by 30% for 10 seconds (34-second cooldown).
• Shadow Step: Dashes forward across 6 blocks to clear ground or reposition behind opponents.
• Med Kit: Restores 50 HP over 10 seconds (104-second cooldown).
• Lacerate: Grants an 80% damage bonus to your next primary weapon strike (52-second cooldown).
• Shadows: Grants complete invisibility for 25 seconds; movement is reduced to walking speed, and swinging or taking damage cancels the state.
• Swift: Grants 50% bonus movement speed without stamina depletion (150-second cooldown).
• Poison Dagger: Inflicts 14 damage over time across 6 seconds with a 26-second cooldown.

Hunter

The hunter controls engagements at range using bows and utility knives. In Playtest 3, hunter health increased from 180 to 210 HP, and maximum stamina expanded to 110. Bow mechanics use an internal quiver system rather than inventory arrows. Left-clicking reloads your quiver, which temporarily cancels sprinting. Common bows hold 6 arrows, uncommon bows hold 7, and rare bows feature an 8-arrow capacity.

• Eagle-Eye: Increases outgoing arrow damage by 20% for 10 seconds.
• Rapid Fire: Discharges your next 3 arrows instantly without draw delays (40-second cooldown).
• Poison Arrow: Coats your next arrow to inflict poison damage across 6 seconds (30-second cooldown).
• Immobilize: Slows targeted opponents hit by your next arrow for 2 seconds.
• Medkit: Restores 30 HP instantly (120-second cooldown).
• Double Shot: Fires two arrows simultaneously for concentrated burst damage.
• Power Shot: Discharges a single heavy arrow dealing elevated base damage.
• Arrow Rain: Fires an area volley dealing 80 damage (buffed from 70).
• Bear Trap: Drops a ground snare dealing 50 damage (buffed from 40).

Sorcerer

The sorcerer delivers magic damage at range using two-handed staffs and magical offhand orbs. Initially previewed as the Mage, this class entered active play with 220 base HP. Sorcerers lack physical block or parry mechanics, requiring careful distance management.

• Fireball: Launches an explosive projectile dealing 70 direct damage on a 25-second cooldown.
• Lightning Strike: Calls down lightning for 60 direct damage and 30 proximity damage.
• Rumble: Triggers ground spikes dealing 40 damage, capable of passing directly through solid walls and closed doors.
• Ice Shards: Fires a persistent stream of ice inflicting 20 damage per hit.
• Spring Healing: Channels restorative water magic to heal the caster and nearby teammates for 65 HP.

Which Hypixel Ravengard Class Fits Your Party Role?

Party synergy determines extraction success inside dungeon catacombs and the outer ruins. A balanced trio generally combines a defensive frontline like the Knight, a heavy damage threat such as the Warrior or Assassin, and backline support from a Hunter or Sorcerer. Trios relying on a Knight benefit from Provoke pulling boss aggro while an Assassin activates Lacerate from behind.

Solo adventurers frequently favor the Assassin or Hunter. An Assassin can activate Shadows to bypass hostile monster packs or disengage from enemy player squads, while a Hunter uses Immobilize and Bear Trap to keep elite monsters at distance.

When seeking the best class for specific squad builds, evaluate how your active abilities interact with party cooldowns. Leveling up your selected class awards ability points spent directly inside the Ravengard menu (accessible by pressing L or using the Ravenscroll). Each level up also unlocks gear packages from Eleanor at the Raven's Nest Tavern, providing weapons, armor, and cursed fragments used to enhance equipment modifiers at Darius the modifier. Tailoring your class selection around weapon availability and active skill combinations ensures your squad can clear elite bosses and safely reach an extraction portal.
