Earn boss crests and put them toward a class
Defeat bosses to earn crests, then spend your crests to unlock a class. That’s the role Roboto Games gives crests on the official Stormforge Steam page. A crest is useful because it opens a new set of class skills for your character.
Start with the boss in your version
The developer’s demo announcement identifies Squallreaver as the demo boss. If you’re playing the demo, work toward that encounter. The Early Access listing also names Earthbreaker and The Guardian. Use that broader list to understand the announced roster, while keeping your immediate goals tied to encounters available in your current build.
Choose what you want to unlock
Decide what you want your character to do next before spending a crest. If your current setup feels good in combat but lacks mobility, look for a class whose skills can fill that gap. The official listing says skills from unlocked classes can be mixed, so you can keep the parts of your build that already work.
The five announced Early Access classes are Warrior, Ranger, Mage, Forager, and Villager. The developer documented three classes for the demo.
