The Six Classes of Valhella

By Bill Kelsey · Updated 2026-10-28

Learn about the six distinct classes available in Valhella: Berserker, Shieldmaiden, Seer, Archer, Skald, and Valkyrie. Each class offers unique abilities and roles within the game.

Berserker, bear-shirted

A frenzied axe warrior whose rage builds as their health drops. Ability: Blood Rage.

Shieldmaiden, the wall

A shield-and-spear tank who holds the shield wall on land and stops boarders at sea. Ability: Shield Wall.

Seer, raven-eyed

A caster and scout of rune magic and prophecy who sees through disguises and foresees Draugr Nights. Ability: Raven Hex.

Archer, of the tree-line

A hunter whose fire arrows burn sails and light funeral pyre-ships. Ability: Signal Brand, so the next blow or shot burns and hits much harder.

Skald, memory with an edge

A poet-warrior whose war songs buff the crew. Ability: Battle Verse, so blows quicken and breath comes back faster.

Valkyrie, sworn to Freya

Freya's healer and chooser of the slain, who can snatch a dying warrior before Hel claims them. Ability: Freya's Grace, which closes a wound.

Valhella is an early prototype. Features and controls may change before release.
