guild run characters: Roster Overview

The current Guildrun Demo roster contains 25 heroes, making the character list large enough for meaningful class and keyword comparisons without becoming difficult to navigate. The reference data was updated on July 29, 2026, for game version 0.5.2, build 45c8a595.

The roster includes Aria, Dragomir, Fiona, Funke, Grace, Gustav, Hoyoung, Irini, Kai, Karsu, Logan, Ming, Niklas, Nyx, Pimenta, Pollen, Ratna, Reyna, Rip, Rowan, Sal, Skorn, Tilly, Yuuna, and Zuri.

The most useful first step is to avoid judging a hero from class alone. Guildrun’s hero reference also exposes attack type, combat keywords, and filters for several stat categories. Those fields provide a clearer starting point when you are comparing characters for a specific encounter or team concept.

Roster Tip

Start with the role your team lacks, then filter by attack type and keywords. This produces more useful candidates than choosing by class name alone.

Class Comparison and Character Roles

Guildrun lists seven primary classes, with seven entries shown for each class filter. The reference also supports secondary-class filtering, which matters for heroes that combine identities. Rowan is listed as Vanguard with Tank as a secondary class, while Tilly appears as Warrior with Duelist as a secondary class. Zuri is shown as Tank with Assassin as a secondary class.

These combinations are important because a secondary class can explain why a hero does not fit neatly into a single category. For example, a character with Tank and Assassin tags may offer a different selection profile from a hero listed only as a Tank. Treat secondary classes as a reason to inspect the full hero entry rather than as a replacement for the primary class.

Class Warning

The class count is a filter count, not a power ranking. A class label alone does not prove that every listed hero fills the same tactical role.

Damage Screening

  • Compare Attack and Crit filters
  • Check melee versus ranged access
  • Review Burn, Poison, or Rush tags

Survival Screening

  • Check Defense and Max HP
  • Look for Shields or Taunt
  • Consider Vanguard and Tank overlap

Utility Screening

  • Search Heal, Debuff, or Stun
  • Review Mana Regen and Max Mana
  • Compare support-oriented keywords

Hybrid Screening

  • Include secondary classes
  • Search mixed keyword combinations
  • Inspect the complete hero record

How to Filter the Guildrun Hero List

The hero database provides three especially useful filter families: Class, Keyword, and Stats. Each family can be used independently, but the strongest comparisons come from combining them. Enable secondary classes when you want a wider search; leave them disabled when you need a strict primary-class list.

The Class group includes Assassin, Duelist, Mage, Mystic, Tank, Vanguard, and Warrior. The Attack group separates Melee and Ranged heroes. The Keyword group contains 16 tags, while the Stats group contains nine categories.

1

Define the team requirement

Decide whether you need damage, durability, control, healing, or a flexible hybrid. Use one clear requirement as your first filter.

2

Choose the attack profile

Select Melee or Ranged when positioning matters. The current roster shows 14 melee heroes and 11 ranged heroes.

3

Add one or two keywords

Search for tags such as Heal, Shields, Stun, Burn, Frost, or Debuff. Avoid selecting every keyword at once because the shortlist becomes less meaningful.

4

Validate with stats

Use Attack, Defense, Crit, Max HP, Magic, or mana-related filters to compare the remaining candidates.

5

Review secondary classes

Turn on secondary classes for hybrid options, then inspect each hero’s complete entry before making a final choice.

Efficient Filter Route

For most comparisons, use this order: class requirement, attack type, one tactical keyword, then a stat category. It keeps the shortlist focused and repeatable.

Building Teams from Keywords and Stats

Keywords are useful because they describe tactical themes that may cross class boundaries. The current reference lists Backup on 24 heroes, Rank on 23, and Magic as a stat category for all 25 heroes. Other tags are more selective, including Stealth on four heroes, Heal on five, Crit on five, Poison on six, and Frost on seven.

This distribution suggests two practical approaches. Broad tags can help you understand the roster’s baseline identity, while rare tags are better for finding specialized options. If you are searching for a particular mechanic, start with the least common relevant tag and then compare class and attack type.

Keyword or statListed countPractical interpretation
Backup24Broad roster theme; weak as a standalone filter
Rank23Common progression-related tag
Burn8Mid-sized offensive shortlist
Frost7Smaller control or damage-theme shortlist
Heal5Focused utility search
Crit5Focused offensive search
Stealth4Rare specialization
Taunt1Highly specific defensive filter

Use stats as a confirmation layer rather than a substitute for role analysis. Attack and Crit can help separate offensive candidates, while Defense and Max HP support durability comparisons. Mana Regen and Max Mana matter when you are assessing heroes whose value depends on repeated ability use. The available stat filters also include HP/s, Magic, and Omnivamp.

A useful comparison sheet can include:

  • Primary and secondary class
  • Melee or ranged attack type
  • Two relevant keywords
  • One offensive stat
  • One defensive or resource stat
  • Whether the hero fills a gap already present in your team
Comparison Note

A rare keyword is valuable for narrowing choices, but it should not automatically determine your final pick. Confirm the hero’s class, attack type, and stat profile first.

Character Review Checklist:

  • Confirm the hero’s primary class
  • Check whether secondary classes are relevant
  • Record Melee or Ranged attack type
  • Compare at least two keywords
  • Validate one offensive and one defensive stat

Recommended Character Research Workflow

The most reliable way to compare Guildrun heroes is to create a shortlist instead of trying to memorize all 25 names. Begin with your objective, use the database filters, and then record the candidates that satisfy multiple conditions.

For example, a defensive search could begin with Tank or Vanguard, continue with Shields or Taunt, and finish with Defense or Max HP. A control-oriented search could use Frost, Stun, or Debuff, followed by an attack-type check. An offensive search could start with Assassin, Duelist, Mage, or Warrior, then use Crit, Attack, Attack Speed, or a damage-oriented keyword.

Use the Guildrun Heroes reference to verify names, classes, filters, and version context before publishing or relying on a character comparison. The page identifies itself as an unofficial Guildrun Demo reference and notes that its numbers and text come from shipped game data.

Research Tip

Save a shortlist for each goal instead of one universal ranking. A hero can be a strong candidate for a keyword search without being the best choice for every team.
