Build Planning
Classes Guide
A pre-launch class hub for party roles, skill trees, equipment choices, member traits, and beginner-friendly builds.
Fast Answer
Steam confirms four-member party building, skills, equipment, traits, abilities, talents, and skill trees such as sword, mace, bow, and fire magic. Exact class names still need launch verification.
Confirmed So Far
- Google Suggest includes class-related Dungeon Settlers queries.
- Steam describes training members by equipment, skills, and traits.
- The public description mentions a party of up to four members.
- Steam mentions skill trees such as sword, mace, bow, and fire magic.
- Combat effects mentioned publicly include stun, bleed, burn, provoke, vulnerable, charge attacks, and summons.
Launch Watchlist
- Class names, weapons, and battlefield roles.
- Best first class for new saves.
- Party synergy and settlement-side requirements.
- Whether sword, mace, bow, and fire magic are formal classes, weapon trees, or example build paths.
What To Verify Next
Collect the full class or skill-tree list from official UI, patch notes, or gameplay footage.
Record each role, weapon type, strengths, weaknesses, combat effects, and beginner difficulty.
Separate confirmed class facts from early player opinions.
Build a comparison table only after at least two independent gameplay sources agree.
Add party examples that respect the confirmed four-member cap.
What Is Confirmed
The public Steam description does not give a final class list, but it does confirm how this guide should be structured: members have equipment, skills, traits, abilities, talents, many stats, and skill trees. It specifically gives sword, mace, bow, and fire magic as examples of synergistic skill trees.
How This Page Will Compare Builds
The class page should compare early survivability, resource cost, crowd control, boss usefulness, dungeon speed, settlement preparation, and difficulty for new players. Damage alone is not enough in a game that also cares about supplies, traits, and permanent death.
Best First-Class Criteria
When real class data exists, the beginner recommendation should weigh survivability, recovery cost, ease of use, party synergy, and how forgiving the build is in early dungeon runs. A safe first party may matter more than a theoretical highest-damage setup.
No Tier List Until Data Exists
This page can target class search intent now, but the actual rankings should wait for official UI, patch notes, gameplay, or repeated player confirmation. Pre-launch tier lists would damage trust if they invent class names or numbers.

FAQ
What classes are in Dungeon Settlers?
The exact class list still needs verification. Steam currently confirms member skills, traits, abilities, talents, equipment, and example skill trees such as sword, mace, bow, and fire magic.
Will this page include a tier list?
Yes, but only after there is enough reliable gameplay evidence. Pre-launch tier lists would be too speculative.
What makes a good beginner class?
A good first build should be easy to keep alive, useful in early combat, and not require a difficult settlement economy before it becomes effective.
Sources Checked
