Hyper Burning class picker

The annual Hyper Burning event takes a fresh character from Lv 10 to Lv 260 with massive bonus EXP. Burn the right class and you save 200+ hours of grinding to endgame. Burn the wrong one and you spend the rest of the year regretting it. Picks below are split by goal.

Best for new players

High-tier classes with forgiving rotations. If this is your first or second character, pick from here.

Best for upgrading your bossing main

Top-tier endgame DPM. Worth Hyper Burning if your current main has fallen out of meta.

Best for new mules

Low fragment investment, high payoff per week. These classes farm well at modest stat floors.

Newest in v247

Hyper Burning is the fastest path to fully experience a freshly-launched class.

Burning checklist

  • · Pre-Burn — clear story bottlenecks (Black Heaven, Heroes of Maple) on a non-burn alt; you'll need them for full content access.
  • · Days 1–7 — push to Lv 200 fast. Symbol unlocks gate Arcane River.
  • · Days 8–14 — Arcane symbols become the bottleneck. Run dailies on every burn-eligible region.
  • · Post-260 — 6th Job unlock; Origin skill cinematic. Now plan your Hexa upgrade order.

What Hyper Burning skips

The Burning event accelerates EXP only. Sacred symbols, Hexa Matrix, gear progression, and potential lines all start from zero post-260. The Burn gets you to the starting line of the long endgame project — the rest is on you.
