Class Spotlight

Raiding Season · published 8 Aug 2026, 14:52 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello Raiders! A ripe season for plunder is approaching and I wanted to kick off the showcase for Raiding Season with this class spotlight for the Huscarl. The Huscarl is one of four classes your Viking Raiders can be and to showcase what they are capable of, we'll do a deep dive into one of many possible builds.

Huscarl in a nutshell:

The Huscarl is Raiding Season's heavily armored front-line warrior, built to hold dangerous positions and keep the enemy occupied while the rest of the raiding party gets to work.

But being tough is only the beginning...

As your raiders level up, you'll choose new abilities and talents that can push each class in different directions. For this spotlight, we're building a Huscarl whose entire strategy revolves around making enemies regret attacking him.

And that's only one of 104,976 possible ways to build him.

The Huscarl can instead specialize in protecting nearby allies, smashing through enemy armor with devastating heavy attacks, or becoming an almost impossible-to-remove front-line defender.

How would you build yours?

Quick Disclaimer: Raiding Season is still in development so these talent options and especially any numerical values may change for balancing purposes before release. But I hope this gives you a good idea of what to expect from the class talent options.Stay tuned for more class and mechanic deep dives and Raid Safe! Or... Raid recklessly? We'll work on that sign off. Skol!
