Every discipline levels the same basic way — the more you use it, the stronger it gets — but they unlock different things and sit on different keys. A pure specialist reaches one track's top skills fastest; a hybrid stays flexible but slower to any single payoff. The community's expected launch S-tier is a balanced weapon-plus-magic hybrid, which tells you the game rewards spreading two disciplines rather than tunnelling one.
Weapon Mastery
Each weapon type levels its own mastery as you fight with it. Higher mastery unlocks that weapon's unique skills and, eventually, its ultimate. Focusing a single weapon reaches those top skills faster; spreading across weapons keeps you flexible but slower to any one payoff. A common benchmark is to upgrade your main weapon to +5 before taking on bosses.
Because each of the nine weapon types tracks its own mastery, switching weapons means starting that weapon's mastery near zero. Pick one main weapon early, level its mastery alongside upgrading it to +5, and you will have both its skills and its damage ready for bosses.
Magic Mastery
A separate progression track for spells that also scales with use. As you advance the main story your available magic slots expand, letting you run more spells at once. Area-of-effect magic is the fastest way to farm both XP and Magic Mastery early on.
Slot an AoE spell and Magic Mastery climbs quickly while you farm — see the beginner guide for the fastest leveling loop. Duskborn and Druid races both boost magic strength, which pairs naturally with a magic-forward build.
Fighting Styles
The third discipline, bound to its own slot (key 3), covering unarmed and stance-based combat that works alongside weapons and magic rather than replacing them.
Fighting Styles sits on key 3 as a third layer rather than a main damage source for most builds. It rewards players who like unarmed and stance play, and because it levels the same way — through use — you can raise it passively alongside a weapon or magic focus rather than instead of one. Confirmed detail on the individual styles is thin at launch, so treat it as a flexible supplement to your main discipline while the meta settles.
Which track to level first
With limited time, level the discipline your race already pushes — a Minotaur or Nephilim leans weapon, a Duskborn or Druid leans magic — so your racial bonuses and your progression pull in the same direction instead of fighting each other. Human has no combat bias, so pick whichever weapon or element you enjoy and let its mastery climb while its +5% mastery gain speeds every track. Whatever your main is, keep one AoE spell slotted: it is the fastest way to feed Magic Mastery while you farm, and clearing packs faster levels everything else alongside it.
Splitting disciplines into a build
Your build is the ratio between these three tracks plus your race. A weapon-focused Minotaur breaks posture and trades blows; a magic-focused Duskborn spikes at night; a balanced hybrid keeps a weapon for single targets and AoE magic for packs. Fighting Styles slot in as a third layer for unarmed and stance play rather than a full replacement for the other two. Plan a direction on the build planner and check where your race lands on the tier list.
Frequently asked questions
Are there classes in MythFall?
No. MythFall has no fixed classes. You raise Weapon Mastery, Magic Mastery and Fighting Styles independently, and your build is defined by how you split them alongside your race.
Should I focus one weapon or spread out?
Focusing one weapon reaches its top skills and ultimate fastest, which is best for bosses. Spreading keeps you flexible but slower to any single payoff. Most players main one weapon and keep one AoE spell for farming.
