Hunting Together RPG Class Picker

Use this Class Picker when you need a clear job recommendation for Hunting Together RPG without reading every lore blurb first. The game offers six base classes at creation—Swordsman, Mage, Archer, Thief, Cleric, Merchant—plus two special unlocks at level 70 on required bases: Samurai (Swordsman + Thief) and Alchemist (Mage + Merchant). Your “best” class depends on whether you solo, heal friends, print gold, or chase prestige 99s.

After you pick, confirm the meta snapshot on Best Classes, read identities on Classes, and follow Getting Started for the first-hour route. Return to the Tools Hub anytime you reroll a friend’s account.

Step 0 — Quick facts before you choose

Fact	Detail
Platform	Roblox (PC, mobile, tablet)
Party	Up to ~6 players; ~2% EXP/drop per member (up to ~12%)
EXP share	Works across large level gaps
Special jobs	Samurai / Alchemist unlock at Lv70 on required bases
Prestige	Any class to 99 → Beta Tester title; three classes to 99 → Ice Cat

If your secret goal is the Ice Cat, plan three jobs you will actually enjoy to 99—not three random names from a tier graphic.

Step 1 — Mark your primary goal

Copy this checklist into a note and tick one primary goal (secondary goals come later):

Goal	Tick if true	First recommendation
I mostly play alone on mobile	☐	Archer or Thief
I want to hold boss aggro for friends	☐	Swordsman
I want to keep the party alive	☐	Cleric
I care about gold and trading first	☐	Merchant
I want burst magic and later Alchemist	☐	Mage
I want Samurai fashion / hybrid melee	☐	Level Swordsman + Thief toward 70
I want Alchemist utility path	☐	Level Mage + Merchant toward 70
I only need any job to 99 for the title	☐	Pick the job you will not hate auto-fighting

Community F2P leveling chatter often suggests Archer → Cleric → Thief as a flexible order. Treat that as a strong default, not a law.

Step 2 — Match goals to class strengths

Solo farm focus

Archer shines when you want range, clear speed, and less panic on dense packs while auto combat runs. Thief rewards players who like agile kills and opportunistic play. Both work well for candy events and long island loops. If you die often in melee, do not force Swordsman as your first solo main.

Party tank focus

Swordsman is the natural frontliner for gatekeeper bosses and party bosses. Pair with a Cleric when fights get long. Tanking is more fun when friends show up—if your friends are offline all week, consider a solo-friendly first job and park Swordsman as job two.

Healer focus

Cleric multiplies every party’s success and makes shared EXP pulls safer for lowbies. Healing is also a smart second 99 because you can join almost any squad. Open Stat Builds for attribute priorities once you commit.

Gold focus

Merchant supports the economy loop: selling, buying, and funding warp pillar travel plus refines. Gold-focused players still need a combat plan—Merchant as a pure island clearer can feel slower, so many hunters keep a DPS job for farm and Merchant for market sessions.

Unlock-path planning

Use this bridge table:

Target unlock	Requirement	Suggested order
Samurai	Swordsman Lv70 + Thief Lv70	Thief or Swordsman first for fun, push the second to 70, then play Samurai
Alchemist	Mage Lv70 + Merchant Lv70	Mage first if you like damage; Merchant first if you need gold

Unlocking at 70 is not the same as finishing a prestige 99. You can open Samurai early and still count Samurai later as one of your three Ice Cat classes if you push it to 99.

Step 3 — Decision matrix (scan row by row)

If you…	Pick	Avoid first
Play 20-minute mobile sessions	Archer	Complex party-only setups
Always duo with a friend DPS	Cleric or Swordsman	Triple DPS with no sustain
Hate dying in melee packs	Archer / Mage	Fresh Swordsman without gear
Want cosmetics on many jobs	Any, but plan three you like	Random fourth job before 99s
Chase Ice Cat efficiently	Archer + Cleric + Thief (common)	Spreading EXP across six bases too early
Love trading culture	Merchant + a DPS buddy job	Ignoring combat power entirely

Step 4 — Interactive-style session plan

Work the following checklist in order the next time you log in:

1. ☐ Redeem gifts on Codes (EXP/Drop potions help whichever job you picked).
2. ☐ Enable auto combat and confirm warp home (H).
3. ☐ Clear the current island’s ~40-monster quest batch.
4. ☐ Defeat the gatekeeper when ready; unlock the next zone.
5. ☐ Spend gold on warp pillars instead of running dead routes.
6. ☐ At level 70 on the required pair, unlock Samurai or Alchemist if that was your goal.
7. ☐ Track levels toward your first 99 for the Beta Tester title.
8. ☐ Only then schedule jobs two and three for the Ice Cat.

Step 5 — Validate against the meta

Tier lists move in early access. After this picker gives you a candidate:

1. Open Best Classes and see if your pick is marked weak for your goal.
2. Skim Classes for skill fantasy—enjoyment beats a half-tier difference.
3. If the meta hates your pick for solo but you always party, ignore the solo column.

Example loadouts from the picker

• Solo F2P starter: Archer → push toward 99 → add Cleric → add Thief.
• Friend group of three: Swordsman + Cleric + Archer/Thief.
• Samurai enjoyer: Level Thief and Swordsman to 70, unlock Samurai, then decide which of the three to take to 99 first.
• Alchemist enjoyer: Mage and Merchant to 70, unlock Alchemist, keep Merchant for gold between farms.
• Title only, limited time: Play your favorite base nonstop to 99; ignore unlocks until the title is safe.

Common picker mistakes

• Choosing Samurai on day one without the level 70 bases.
• Building three overlapping DPS jobs and wondering why bosses wipe the party.
• Spending Halloween gacha skins on a job you abandon at level 40.
• Treating the BETATESTER code as a class unlock—it is not (see Beta Rewards).
• Ignoring party bonuses when a single friend could speed your first 99 dramatically.
