This page helps you decide between melee, caster, ranged, pet, and hybrid paths before choosing a mastery or build.
I want close-range combat and simple action priorities.
I want skill-driven combat and stronger planning choices.
I want distance, control, and safer positioning.
I want companions and lower direct execution pressure.
I want mixed identity and accept more decisions later.
| Playstyle | Beginner fit | Complexity | Next decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| Melee | High | Low to medium | Choose durable mastery |
| Caster | Medium | Medium | Choose skill-scaling mastery |
| Ranged | Medium | Medium | Compare ranged builds |
| Pet | Medium | Medium | Read beginner context |
| Hybrid | Lower | High | Check mastery tradeoffs |
Why: these paths are easiest to explain without finalized game data and give new players clear next decisions around mastery, skill priority, and beginner build type.
Best for: Beginner and relaxed players. Endgame and SSF recommendations remain provisional until systems are stable.
Medium confidence for decision structure. Low confidence for exact build power until official data is available.
After choosing a playstyle, decide which mastery direction supports it.
