Classes and Party Roles

Underkeep is built around a four-adventurer party, so a class guide should begin with the job each hero fills rather than a copied dungeon role list. The developer’s published class update identifies Warrior, Voidcaller, Archer, and Wizard among the game’s classes. The announcement describes the Warrior as a direct fighter, the Voidcaller as a healer, and the Wizard as a source of destructive magic. Check the current character-creation screen for the live roster before planning a new party, since class details can change with updates.

Build a party around clear jobs

Start by deciding which hero should handle close-range pressure, which character can restore the group, and which options can attack from range or use spells. Then choose the remaining party members to cover gaps. The game is designed around four heroes whose strengths and weaknesses combine, so a party with overlapping jobs may leave a difficult encounter uncovered.

Spend skill points with a plan

Each class has its own skills and specializations. Choose a small number of skills that support the role you assigned, then review their descriptions as you level. The developer describes a simple progression system with one skill point per level and a five-rank cap per skill. Avoid spreading early points across every option before you know what the party needs.

Recheck the roster in your version

Use the in-game class list as the final authority for a new save. Treat older previews as snapshots of development, not promises about every later build. This keeps a class guide useful without carrying forward outdated class names or advice from a different game that shares the Underkeep name.

When comparing two heroes for the same slot, read the skill descriptions and test how their abilities fit the group’s actual needs. A party benefits from having options for recovery, distance, and close combat, but the exact balance depends on the skills available in your version. Keep a note of the role each hero is meant to cover, then revisit that choice after gaining levels. This makes skill spending easier to assess and avoids treating a preview roster as a fixed best-party answer.
