All Excry Classes Guide & How to Unlock (June 2026)
In Excry, your class isn’t chosen at character creation—it’s earned through weapon mastery. With 6 base classes unlocking at Level 10 and 8+ powerful adept classes available at Level 20, your combat style evolves based on the weapons you wield. This comprehensive guide covers every class, their unique abilities, exact requirements, and proven strategies to dominate both PVP and PVE content.
Quick Reference: All Classes Overview
| Class Type | Level Requirement | Proficiency Required | Best For | Trainer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base Classes | Level 10 | Rank E | Early progression | Various NPCs |
| Adept Classes | Level 20 | Rank A | Endgame content | Master trainers |
| Light Weapons | – | E→A | Speed & mobility | Reynold, Isoliric |
| Medium Weapons | – | E→A | Balanced combat | Elysia, Valaric |
| Heavy Weapons | – | E→A | High damage | Targus, Dec |
How the Class System Works?
Excry’s revolutionary class system breaks from traditional RPG conventions. Instead of being locked into a class permanently, your identity is shaped by your Weapon Proficiency—a stat that tracks your mastery with different weapon types. This system offers incredible flexibility but requires strategic planning from the start.

The Three Weapon Archetypes
Your proficiency journey begins by choosing one of three distinct paths:
Light Proficiency (Dagger/Fist)
- Playstyle: High attack speed, rapid combos, parry-dancing
- Best for: Players who love mobility and stunlocking opponents
- Classes: Rogue → Us, Brawler → Martial Artist, Mage → Rose
Medium Proficiency (Katana/Longsword)
- Playstyle: Balanced reach, reliable damage, versatile kit
- Best for: Beginners and players wanting PVP/PVE flexibility
- Classes: Swordsman → Ronin/Knight, Spearsman → Thunder Piercer
Heavy Proficiency (Greatsword/Scythe)
- Playstyle: Slow swings, massive damage, excellent guard-breaking
- Best for: Boss farming and crowd control
- Classes: Warlord → Berserker/Reaper
Pro Tip: Most “God Tier” classes like Reaper and Berserker require Heavy Proficiency. If you want to be a nimble assassin, commit to Light weapons early.

Weapon Proficiency: The Key to Power
Understanding the proficiency system is crucial for class progression. Your proficiency rank directly affects both your M1 (light attack) damage and skill damage output.
Proficiency Ranks (F to SSR)
| Rank | Tier Status | Damage Scaling | Class Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| F | Novice | Minimal | Starting rank |
| E-D | Beginner | Basic | Base classes unlock |
| C-B | Intermediate | Moderate | Standard classes available |
| A | Advanced | Significant | Adept classes unlock |
| S | Expert | High | High-tier class requirements |
| SS-SSS | Master | Very High | Rare class unlocks |
| SSR | LEGENDARY | Maximum | God-tier/Secret classes |
Fast Proficiency Farming Strategy
Early Game (F to B Ranks):
- Focus on volume over difficulty
- Find clusters of weak mobs with quick respawn rates
- Avoid wasting time on bosses that take too long to kill
- Target 50-100 kills per hour for optimal progression
Mid Game (B to A Ranks):
- Continue with mob farming but move to slightly stronger enemies
- Consider PVP if you’re confident, but stick to PVE for consistent gains
- Don’t switch weapon types – commit to your chosen path
Late Game (A to SSR):
- Boss farming becomes more efficient
- PVP kills provide significant proficiency gains
- Join faction wars for large-scale proficiency farming
Critical Warning: Switching between weapon types will leave you with multiple mediocre ranks instead of one high rank. Pick your path early and stick with it until you reach your desired class requirements.
