Mistfall Class Field Guide

Official facts first

Class changes

A small, verified launch log for the facts that can invalidate a build page. Official patch notes outrank editorial guides; rumors and unannounced loadouts stay out.

Launch timeline

Verified official changes

Withered Knight · Polearm and Shield

  • Charged Dash energy drain reduced slightly and Tier-1 turning improved.
  • First and third basic thrust damage increased slightly.
  • Spear Barrage damage multiplier increased slightly.
  • Rainbow Piercer energy cost and cooldown reduced slightly.
  • Block energy cost reduced.

The branch became less expensive to operate without changing its core protective role.

Sorcerer · Flameblade

The developer fixed a mismatch between Flameblade's visual-effect range and actual damage range. The note presents this as a bug fix, so this guide does not reframe it as a damage buff.

Withered Knight and Blackarrow weapon state

Polearm and Shield launched as the Withered Knight's new defensive archetype. The same official announcement said Blackarrow's new weapon would arrive in a future season, so Bow arrow kits remain the launch guide's current loadout.

What changes on this site

Current editorial impact

  • Withered Knight: Polearm and Shield is treated as a real, current Trio protection option—not beta speculation.
  • Blackarrow: future weapon names are excluded from current build tables.
  • Sorcerer: Flameblade range is described from the corrected launch state; the fix is not counted as a power increase.
  • Tier list: ratings remain a launch snapshot until an official note or durable evidence changes a mode-specific conclusion.

Fail visibly, not silently

How updates are handled

Every indexable guide carries a verification date. An official class or weapon change triggers the affected class page, build hub, comparison table, tier page, XML sitemap modification date, and this log as one release unit.

When an official note is ambiguous, the site preserves the previous verified fact and labels the uncertainty. It does not fill the gap from a copied tier table or social rumor.

Patch answers

Class change FAQ

Which class changed in the July 30 update?

The official update adjusted the Withered Knight's Polearm and Shield branch, reducing several costs or cooldowns and modestly improving handling or damage.

Did Sorcerer receive a balance change?

The July 30 official note listed a Flameblade visual-effect range mismatch as a bug fix, not a stated balance adjustment.

Is Blackarrow's new weapon available?

The official launch announcement said the new weapon would arrive in a future season. This launch snapshot does not list it as currently playable.
