Classes in Dark Deity are split up into six different trees, with the ranger, warrior, cleric and mage available during the first mission, and then the rogue and adept coming shortly thereafter. Today we’re going to go through a pretty comprehensive guide on everything to do with the Adept class. What you can expect from using Adept characters, where you can take them, their stats and skills, and all the information that you need to plan your Adept characters accordingly.
Naturally if you want to avoid spoiling the class unlocks, or the characters that are available later in the game, you should turn back now, because there’s going to be spoilers aplenty from hereon out.
The Adept class is probably up there with ranger in how diverse that builds can be, and ways that you can use the class. Their starting class skill in Chain is one of the best utilities in the game, and can frequent strategies across every difficulty, but can really be utilized to save your bacon on Deity difficulty.
That’s not the only thing that makes them useful though, they can specialize in either magic or melee damage. If you get early rolls in magic, and want to explore a nuke-adept, that’s absolutely something that can work, and I’ve rolled this build and it’s very effective.
If you want to follow the Bolt tree for mobility and chain range, then you’ve built yourself a chain-bot that can move and disable units across the map easily. Adepts can even be dodge tanks! Specc them for spear wielding throughout, equip the strength aids in dodge chance artifact, and you’ve got a dodge tank! You can the Astral route, grab lifesteal and huge HP rolls, and just be a traditional beefy tank too.
These are just scratching the surface of the different ways that you can play the adept, and as you can see, it’s extremely diverse and really up to your fancy. As far as the overview, we’re going to start with the stats and abilities of the base class in Adept, then the stats and abilities of each of the promotional options at level ten, then finally the stats and abilities of the final promotions at level thirty.

Closing Thoughts
That’s going to wrap things up for our overview of the adept class. If you’ve had particular success with speccing a character down a certain class line, with grabbing specific level 10 and level 30 class skills, we’d love to hear about your success (or failure!) on the mgn.gg blog, our YouTube channel of course, the new twitter @MGN_TV, and our new discord. Links for all of these are in the description of the video overview.
