Arcane Lineage Classes, Races, and Builds
The character half of the wiki — what you roll, what you buy, and how you spend three points.
Players is the roster wing of the Arcane Lineage wiki. Guides tell you how to press Space. This hub tells you what you are pressing it as. Start with classes if you are standing in the weapon shop. Start with races if you just opened B and do not recognize the name. Start with builds if you have a class and a bad habit of dumping every point into Speed. Start with the Assassin build if that is the Super Class you actually want to clear with. Start with items if you want to know what a shard, a scroll, or an enchant is actually for. Start with Super Classes and alignment if you are about to fork. Start with loadouts if you want race plus stats on one sheet. Start with the world map if you cannot find the mat. Start with artifacts if you want Darksigil or Reality Watch. Start with armor if Traveller is still on your back. Start with subclasses if you wanted Alchemist, Musician, or Blacksmith. Start with covenants if a hideout asked you to sign at level 10. Start with the Ranger build if Westwood is the fork you actually want. Start with enchants if Inferno or Midas is the glow. Start with gear if you have four empty mix-and-match slots. Start with marks if a YouTube overlay told you to feed orbs on a first life.
How a character is built
A live character is four layers:
- Race — starting stats and a passive. Random at spawn.
- Base Class — weapon plus early skills at level 5.
- Stats — three points a level across Strength, Arcane, Endurance, Speed, Luck.
- Super Class — the level 15 fork that decides whether you are a Paladin or a problem. The roster names the ten common titles. The tier list ranks them.
Gear and enchants sit on top. They do not replace yellow. They do not replace a party. Configure Trials for Soul Point speed only after the kit already lives.
Suggested reading order
New account: getting started → races → class for race → class unlock → loadouts. Returning account: tier lists → Super Class ranks → Assassin build or items for the next farm.
Use the class picker and stat calculator when you want a widget instead of a paragraph. The PC dropdown shows eight Players links and sends overflow to this hub — use View all when the list grows.
Party composition in one glance
A comfortable early four-stack is one block class (Warrior or Martial Artist), one status class (Thief or Slayer), one flex, and one person who actually read the boss guide. Two Wizards and no frontline is a content creator party, not a town party. Late clears like Metrom’s Vessel want sustain on purpose.
What this hub will not do
We will not invent a complete census of every seasonal race name. Subclasses now have a real page — Alchemist, Musician, Beastmaster, Miner, Blacksmith — instead of a rumour footnote. Covenants lock at level 10. Artifacts and armor are the loot layers. When Withered Grove or Dark and Light adds a kit, it lands here after we can describe it without guessing. Gynx and Lionheart keep their own guides. Neutral Super Classes live on the roster. Corruption lives on how to unlock it.
If you only wanted links, the Links Hub holds Trello and Discord. If you only wanted power, the Tier List Hub is louder. This wing is for the facts those pages argue about.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
What should I read first in Players?
Races if you just spawned, classes if you are buying a weapon, builds if you already have both and keep dying.
Do I need a perfect race to play a class?
No. Matching helps. A flexible roll plus a class you enjoy beats an S-tier name you rerolled into and then abandoned.
Where do items and enchants fit?
After class and stats. The items page covers weapons, shards, scrolls, and why enchants are not a substitute for dodging.
Where is the Assassin build?
On the dedicated Assassin build page under Players. It covers Luck poison, Strength burst, and party habits.
Where is the Ranger build?
On the Ranger build page under Players. It covers Orkin in Westwood, Stultus Speed, mastery 0-1-2, and Rogue Hunter.
