First run plan

Survive one clean extraction before chasing builds

Your first goal is not a perfect build. Pick a readable class, learn what death costs, take one fight at a time, and leave with a small win before greed turns the run.

Beginner steps

What To Do First

Use this as a first-session checklist before reading builds, bosses, or map routes.

StepDecisionWhy it matters
1Choose a forgiving classStart with Mercenary if you want simple melee learning, or Blackarrow if you prefer distance.
2Set an exit conditionDecide what loot, health, or time limit makes you leave before a run begins.
3Fight only with an escape routeDo not chase every target. Noise and long fights invite third-party pressure.
4Extract with small winsA safe extraction with useful loot teaches more than a greedy death with perfect intentions.
5Review what killed youSeparate bad positioning, bad class fit, and bad timing before changing builds.

Look for the full loop: enter, fight, collect, manage risk, and extract. The written steps below turn those moments into a first-run plan.

01

What To Know Before Playing

Mistfall Hunter is built around entering dangerous runs, fighting enemies and players, finding loot, and escaping before you lose too much.

02

How The Extraction Loop Works

Your goal is not always to win every fight. Often, the smart play is to take useful loot, avoid unnecessary risk, and extract before greed becomes the enemy.

03

Beginner Mistakes To Avoid

Do not overstay, do not treat every enemy as mandatory, and do not pick a class only because it looks strong in an early tier list.
