Unveiling an Epic Roster: Meet Every Unforgettable Playable Character in the Game!

Wayfinder is an exciting new co-op adventure game that introduces a colorful array of characters, each with their own unique abilities and stats that greatly impact gameplay. Understanding the mechanics of each character beforehand is crucial, as they are each tailored to suit specific types of players. Whether you are a newcomer or an experienced player, it's important to grasp how each character operates and the contributions they can make to the team.

As players journey through the enchanting yet corrupted world of Evenor, they will encounter a wide range of formidable foes and increasingly fearsome monsters. To maximize progress, it is recommended to focus on developing one particular Wayfinder, enhancing their stats and acquiring powerful weapons. This comprehensive guide will provide new players with valuable insights into all the currently available Wayfinders and the unique qualities they bring to the table.

Wingrave

Wingrave, the Wayfinder, is the easiest to play and a crucial support character for keeping a team alive during encounters with hordes of enemies. With his exceptional defense stats, he can withstand a significant amount of damage. Despite his appearance as a typical tank, Wingrave also possesses healing abilities through his Judgment and Divine Aegis skills.

Wingrave's slow speed and the unwieldiness of his Bastion sword make him less suitable for solo runs. However, he truly shines when it comes to blocking projectiles and providing buffs to his teammates as part of a close-knit group. Additionally, his Righteous Strike enables him to knock down enemies, making it an effective offensive move against faster foes.

Abilities

Righteous Strike: Striking an enemy will cause them to explode, and will heal Wingrave and any nearby allies.

Radiant Pulse: Creates a shield that blocks projectiles and enhances allies defense.

Judgment: Enemies who become marked by Judgment will heal allies who attack them.

Divine Aegis: Forms a barrier that makes all allies standing inside it invulnerable. Also heals over time.

Silo

For those who revel in taking down foes with swift and accurate sniper fire from a distance, Silo is the quintessential marksman of the squad. Though he may lack the sturdiness of his fellow Wayfinders, Silo's arsenal is exclusively designed to fend off adversaries at bay. With his arsenal of explosive devices and the formidable Arc Nemesis skill, he possesses the power to decelerate enemies to a snail's pace, effectively transforming them into vulnerable targets.

Abilities

Mastering Silo is no easy task. His unique weapon ability, Deadeye, skillfully uncovers vulnerabilities which Silo can then exploit with precise aim, resulting in guaranteed critical hits. In critical situations, Silo can seamlessly transition to close combat, although he truly shines when strategically maintaining distance, taking charge of small enemy factions with his exceptional class abilities and trustworthy Longshot rifle.

Fire Bomb: Throw a bomb that deals damage over time.

Oil Bomb: Toss a bomb that leaves a pool of oil, slowing down enemies while also causing damage.

Proto-Clone: Dash away, leaving a clone to distract enemies.

Arc Nemesis: Send out EGG to shock and slow all nearby enemies.

Niss

Niss is a challenging character to master, requiring extensive practice to utilize effectively. However, once players become accustomed to her swift movements and teleportation abilities, they can effortlessly defeat enemies without sustaining any damage. Niss epitomizes a hit-and-run archetype, employing rapid strikes and evasive tactics to swiftly inflict damage before making a clean getaway.

Her passive skill, Lingering Shadow, augments Niss' attack power with each successful dodge. Players should prioritize abilities such as Umbral Aura and Vengeful Shade to swiftly evade enemies before launching their own counterattacks. As a result, Niss excels as a skilled decoy, diverting attention from her allies while they deal maximum damage. Her versatility is unmatched, provided players can adapt to her unique style of gameplay.

Abilities

Shadow Step: Dash through multiple enemies at once. Leaves behind a clone that attacks enemies.

Umbral Aura: Niss' next three dodges pierce nearby enemies with a shadow.

Vengeful Shade: Briefly become immune and deal damage to enemies directly in front of Niss.

Gloom Shroud: For a few seconds, Shadow Step can be used for free.

Senja

Senja, a formidable fighter in hand-to-hand combat, brandishes her powerful Colossus greatsword to pummel any menacing creatures that stand in her path. Her arsenal centers around her weapon's unique capability, which enhances the subsequent ability she employs following an agile strike. By alternating between this skill and her regular attacks, she unleashes a staggering level of devastation, inflicting massive damage upon her adversaries.

Like Niss, she possesses the ability to serve as a decoy through her Gain Favor skill. Not only does this ability strengthen the team, but it also showcases her remarkable versatility. Senja, as a character, revels in the spotlight, a trait that is evident in her gameplay. One notable move she can execute is the Gladiator Pummel, allowing her to enhance her defense and evade being staggered, all while proudly flaunting her talents to her adoring fans. Adapting to the frequent switch between abilities and keeping an eye on stamina consumption may require some adjustment. However, for players who are able to keep pace with her, Senja can be an unstoppable force, potentially altering the outcome of the game for those who remain mindful of her extensive range of techniques.

Abilities

Gladiator Pummel: Charge up a forward punch that also boosts next weapon attack.

Gain Favor: This Charged ability provokes enemies while also buffing Senja and nearby allies.

Lightning Grasp: Pull enemies towards Senja using a streak of lightning.

Grand Finale: Senja deals massive damage by charging forward with a lightning spear, instantly filling up her crowd favor.

Kyros

Kyros surpasses the average mage in terms of power, capable of completely changing the outcome of a battle with a single ability. His expertise lies in handling crowds of enemies, utilizing his wide-ranging abilities such as Savage Rake and Arcane Harvest, which not only inflicts damage but also steals Ability Power from foes. Since Kyros heavily relies on his abilities to combat enemies, the usage of Arcane Harvest becomes vital. By skillfully managing this ability, Kyros can replenish his techniques effectively.

To fully unlock Kyros' potential, players should prioritize utilizing Siphon Radiant to collect Arcane Fragments. These fragments can then be consumed to unleash Savage Rake without any additional cost. Balancing all these elements may present a slight challenge when playing solo, but once integrated into a proficient team, Kyros becomes an indispensable asset, transforming the gameplay into a highly enjoyable experience after overcoming the initial learning difficulty.

Abilities

Savage Rake: Kyros swipes all enemies in front of him. This ability can be used for free when enough Arcane Fragments are obtained.

Siphon Radiant: This AOE attack damages enemies and absorbs arcane power.

Arcane Focus: Marks enemies, who then explode to cause AOE damage when attacked.

Hand of Reckoning: Deal massive damage in a large radius around Kyros.

Venomess

Dubbed as the game's ultimate versatile Wayfinder, Venomess possesses the extraordinary capability to gradually diminish enemy health bars while simultaneously replenishing her comrades. True to her name, Venomess thrives in poisoning adversaries, which she effortlessly achieves through her exceptional abilities and the lethal Nightshade rifle. It is important to note that her defense stands exceptionally low, thus avoiding prolonged involvement in the midst of combat is highly advised. Utilizing her Venom Thrusters to make her escape just before things escalate is undoubtedly her best strategy.

Venomess lacks the ability to instantly annihilate foes with a single strike. Instead, she excels in a supportive role, debilitating adversaries to facilitate their demise at the hands of her teammates. The accumulation of poison on enemies forms a crucial aspect of her strategic approach. It dictates the amount of health replenished for allies upon utilizing the Transfusion ability, as well as the duration it takes for an opponent to succumb. Consequently, during chaotic encounters against numerous adversaries, players must diligently monitor the number of stacks applied. These intricacies render Venomess a formidable yet exceptionally rewarding Wayfinder to wield.

Abilities

Transfusion ability: Unleash a volley of fire-locked poisonous needles. Attacking enemies afflicted with poison will grant health to allies, the amount varying based on the number of stacks.

Vampiric Blast skill: Hurl a toxic bomb, causing damage to enemies while simultaneously healing allies.

Venom Thrusters: Quickly dart away, leaving behind a toxic mist to harm adversaries.

Take a Deep Breath: Unleash a massive detonation infused with enhanced venom that can accumulate up to 5 layers. These layers function as extra charges for Transfusion and weapon strikes.

Wayfinder is available now on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S and X, and PC.
