FIELD GUIDEMORTAL SHELL II

Classes (Shells) in Mortal Shell II

Shells are the warrior bodies you possess and the game's class choices. The official website confirms eight playable Shells. Genessa and Sariel are confirmed by post-launch updates, so the roster extends beyond the three shown in the gameplay reveal.

Choose a Shell by a testable ability

Editorial checklist for comparing the Shells available in your save.

  1. Pick an interaction

    Choose an ability you want to use, such as summons or curses.

  2. Check your version

    Compare the ability description with the dated official changes.

  3. Repeat an encounter

    Keep other equipment consistent while testing the Shell.

  4. Plan your investment

    Review resource use and the reset prompt before changing existing upgrades.

The Tiel artwork above identifies Tiel only. It does not illustrate Genessa or Sariel, or establish combat statistics.

Choose by the Ability You Want to Use

Start with the abilities available in your own save. Pick one interaction to test, such as managing summons or using curses, and keep the rest of your setup consistent while comparing Shells. Armor appearance alone does not establish damage, durability or a character's best role.

The Shells & abilities guide links the official name confirmations. For changing an existing investment, read the respec guide before confirming a reset.
