Warhammer Vermintide 2: what classes are there?

In Warhammer Vermintide 2 you will once again compete against the enemy armies. This practical tip shows you which classes there are in the second part.

Classes in Warhammer Vermintide 2

In Warhammer: Vermintide 2, you can choose between five different heroes, each of whom can choose from three different career paths.

• You can choose between the heroes Barin Goreksson, Kerillian, Victor Saltzbrand, Markus Kruber and Sienna Fuegonasus.
• Bardin Goreksson is the dwarf in the group. He can choose between the classes Ranger, Ironbreaker and Slayer. As a ranger, he specializes in fighting a crossbow and can retreat at any time using a smoke bomb. However, if you make Bardin an Ironbreaker, it becomes a tank and can block strong attacks. You can also use the flamethrower as an ironbreaker. As a Slayer, Barin attacks with two axes and becomes a melee.
• If you choose the elf Kerillian as your hero, you can choose between the classes Waystalker, Handmaiden and Shade. As a waystalker, Kerillian is focused on ranged combat. In addition, Kerillian as a waystalker has a skill that will heal you up to a value. If you make Kerillian a handmaid instead, it is characterized by a high degree of agility and goes into close combat. Or you choose the Shade class. This class does more damage when the attack is from behind.
• With the hero Victor Saltzbrand you can choose from the classes Witch Hunter Captain, Bounty Hunter and Zealot. Go into ranged combat as a Witch Hunter Captain. This class is particularly notable for the fact that marked enemies take more damage and the ability to knock down enemies. If you play the Bounty Hunter instead, Saltzbrand has greater ammo and can reload faster. In addition, a shot will strike critically every ten seconds. You can also play Saltzbrand as a melee. To do this, select the Zealot class.
• If you choose Markus Kruber as your hero, you can choose between the classes Mercenary, Huntsman and Foot Knight. As a Mercenary, your attacks are fought by more opponents. If you choose the Huntsman instead, Kruber becomes a ranged combatant. Head shots are the most effective way to do this. Or you choose the Foot Knight. As a result, Kruber takes less damage in the game and gives the group an additional buff. As a foot knight, you become a tank and melee.
• As a hero, you can also choose the magician Sienna Fuegonasus. You can turn Sienna into a Battle Wizard, Pyromancer or Unchained. Magic overloads as a battle wizard. This also increases the speed at which spells are recharged. This leads to a constant change between ranged and close combat. Choosing the Pyromancer increases the number of critical hits. As Unchained, the melee power becomes stronger with the overload. However, if the overload is too high, you will explode. Unchained is therefore often a danger for yourself and for other players.
• In the end there are 15 classes available.
