The Blood of Dawnwalker Tier List

This tier list is labelled on purpose. The Blood of Dawnwalker is a single-player RPG in week one, with abilities now sitting in the live pause menu plus everything trailers and IGN First already showed. Ranks will look foolish if a patch re-costs hexes. Use it to unstick a build, not to argue like it is a fighting-game wiki in year three.

Playstyle tiers assume the time system is the real boss. A tool that skips geography or saves a segment outranks a stylish DoT.

Playstyle tiers

TierPlaystyleWhy
SHybrid with ShadowstepSurvives both clocks. Blink is access, and access is loot and skips.
SPredator on one officerInfamy questlines are story. Focused disruption beats random cruelty.
ASwordsman + one hexBest tutorial-to-boss pipeline. Weaker at vertical map secrets.
BPure Witchcraft touristBeautiful at noon, unemployed at night. Only if you love seances.
CCompletionist dip-allHourglasses go to nodes instead of people. The coronation does not care about your pyramid.

TierAbilityNote
SShadowstepCombat and traversal. The Predator verb. Even Swordsmen should buy it.
SArtery AttackEnds the fight the charge loop exists to buy.
AAcrid DustUniversal opener. Cheap brain.
AVoracious BiteHeal + hunger. Weaponised by Sanguine Renewal.
ACompel SoulDaytime information. Saves wandering, which saves nothing — but finds hourglasses worth paying.
APlaneshiftCathedral skip energy. Required for vertical Vale Sangora.
BBurning BloodGood DoT. Health tax. Teachable hex.
BRavenous FlockPack answer. Pearly and Precious poster child.
BPiercing ShriekNight peel. Less important in duels.
BWolf formMultiplies the month if you travel like a completionist of geography, not of quests.
CNovelty fourth hexIf you cannot name the fight it wins, it is jewellery.

Pair this with abilities for effects and with the build planner for slots. If a rank disagrees with your joy, keep the joy. This is a 50–70 hour single-player game, not a ladder.

Frequently asked questions

Will this list be updated after patches?

The title on every page carries the current month on purpose. Launch reviews did not dethrone Shadowstep. The S-tier question is still “does this save a day?”

Where is a weapon tier list?

Start on the weapons page and rank swing speed with your own hands. Families are short, long, great, and axes — not a live-service patch bible.
