Huntress
Dexterity · Spears
The Huntress fights with spears — a melee-range hybrid that mixes thrown attacks, parries, and quick repositioning. She's aggressive and technical, rewarding players who like to weave offence and defence rather than simply tanking hits.
Ascendancies
Partway through the campaign you choose one ascendancy — a sub-class that sharpens the Huntress into a specific identity. The Huntress has 3:
Amazon
A martial spear specialist built around precision strikes and elemental spear skills.
Spirit Walker
The Huntress's newest path, channelling spirit-themed power. Still settling in; check its current nodes in-game.
Ritualist
Uses blood and sacrifice to buff herself and tear through enemies — a darker, self-empowering playstyle.
Which should you pick?
Amazon is the clean martial spear pick. Ritualist leans into blood-sacrifice buffs. Spirit Walker is the newest and most experimental of the three.
PoE2 is in Early Access — ascendancy kits get tuned between patches, and the newest ones are still settling. Treat the descriptions above as identity and direction; check the in-game Ascension Trials or the wiki for the exact current nodes before you commit.
