Bellring Games has updated Mistfall Hunter with a notable boost for the Withered Knight in the July 30 patch. The change focuses on the class’s second weapon option, the polearm and shield, which now deals more damage.
That adjustment matters because the Withered Knight was already viewed as a strong choice in the extraction brawler. By sharpening the offensive side of its alternate weapon setup, the update gives players even more reason to consider the class when choosing a build.
The buff appears aimed at making the polearm-and-shield loadout more effective in combat without changing the class’s core identity. Players who prefer a mix of reach, protection, and steadier frontline pressure may feel the biggest impact from the damage increase.
For Mistfall Hunter, the patch is another example of how class balance can quickly shift player priorities. Even a targeted increase like this can reshape which loadouts feel most rewarding, especially in a game where survivability and weapon efficiency both matter.
