All Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon classes (Archetypes)

In Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon, you must choose between the classes (Archetypes) right at the start during a conversation in your prison cell. The guard asks, “What were you doing in the forest?” — your answer defines your Archetype, which directly grants specific stat boosts and determines your early playstyle.

Choose wisely, as each response leads to a second choice, allowing you to refine your build further. Here’s an overview of all the classes (Archetypes) and their offerings in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon.

Note: This guide is a work in progress, and more information will be added on Archetypes in the future.

Classless in Archetypes

Pick: Stay Silent (twice)

If you ignore the guard both times, you become Classless in Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon. No bonuses, no subclass, and every stat starts at 10, which is the minimum across the board. This is for players who want full control over their build from the ground up, even if it means starting at a disadvantage. There’s no early power spike here, but the trade-off is complete freedom to develop however you want.

---

Each class in Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon gives you a direction, whether it’s spellcasting, sneaking, crafting, or just smashing enemies with a sword. And every starting ability (like Burning Ember, Blood Transfusion, or Lockpick) can shift how you survive the early game.

That's all for now on classes (Archetypes) in Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon.
