Seven archetypes
Mystic
A hero’s class decides two things that matter more than its stats: which upgrade pool it draws from at rank A and again at rank S, and which relics and items are built to support it. Seven classes, four heroes each, and a shared pool per class — so two heroes of the same class compete for the same upgrades. Each page below lists the heroes, both upgrade pools in full, and every relic and item that carries the class name.
Updated for patch 0.5.10
Bench-only upgrades
Sideline Support and Sideline Empowerment switch off the moment their Mystic takes the field. Both are Backup Only, a tag no other class list uses. From the reserves, Support grants 5 Shards and Shields for the team as combat opens, and Empowerment hands out Mana Regen, Attack and Magic, its Attack and Magic base doubled from 25 to 50 in 0.5.1. Arcane Backup Prism follows the same logic: 2 Mana Regen for the whole team per rank of each reserve Mystic.
Paid in Mana Regen
Each Mystic starts with 8 Mana Regen, twice what every other hero has, and the class averages 21.75 base Attack, the lowest of the seven. Most of its upgrades are priced in that stat. Empowered Magic gives the other heroes Attack and Magic equal to the caster's Mana Regen on every cast, Shield Formation counts each point as 10 Shields over a 400 base, and Stall Battery passes 3 Mana Regen to the heroes on each Stall trigger.
Stall Aria and Stall Tanks
Mystics appear in two builds, both five-hero Stall teams rated S. Stall Aria fields three, Pollen, Gustav and Grace, with Rowan as its only Tank. Stall Tanks puts Fiona at rank S, on Stall Battery and Stall Certainty, next to Gustav on Shield Magnification.
Both carry Mystic's Prosperity Filigree, the one relic with a class name that ranks B. After Stall (15) it gives the nearest hero Attack and Magic equal to 66% of the Mystic's Mana Regen. Until 0.5.7 the caster kept that bonus, although the text already named the nearest hero.
