There is no Mage, Assassin or Healer class. Here is which of the six classes each of those words actually means, and where the guess stops being accurate.
Six classes, none of them named Mage, Assassin or Healer. Pick the word you searched for.
You searched “Mage” · also wizard, caster, magier
Sorcerer
Ranged damage · Elemental magic / Stardust magic
A clean match. The Sorcerer is the game’s only dedicated spellcaster and the highest area damage in the roster — everything the word "mage" implies is here. The one thing that does not carry over is durability: it holds the lowest health pool in the game, so it plays at a range a typical RPG mage does not have to respect.
Which half you mean: Elemental magic is the one most "mage build" videos are demonstrating; Stardust is the other half of the class and a different playstyle.
You searched “Assassin” · also rogue, stealth, backstab
Shadowstrix
Stealth assassin · Dagger / Dual Blades
The closest match on the roster — the class record’s own archetype line reads "Stealth assassin", so this is a naming difference and nothing more. Searches for "backstab" land here too.
You searched “Healer” · also support, priest, cleric
Seer
Support or battle caster · Catalyst (Reverent) / Mace (Blasphemer)
Half right, and the half that is wrong is the half that matters. The Seer is the game’s support class and close to mandatory in a trio, but it is not a dedicated healer — one of its two stances is a melee damage kit. Picking Seer expecting to only heal gets you a class you are playing at half strength.
Which half you mean: Catalyst (Reverent) is the supportive stance. Mace (Blasphemer) is the damage one — the German-language searches for "Blasphemiker build" are asking about this stance, not a separate class.
A direct match, and one of the safest solo picks in the game. Worth knowing before you commit: the class is built around swapping arrow types rather than around raw bow damage, so its skill ceiling sits in resource management.
You searched “Tank” · also warrior, shield, juggernaut
Mercenary
Frontline tank · Sword & Shield / Warhammer
Right for the first twenty hours, arguable after that. It is the safest first pick in the game and mid-tier at the competitive level — a tank in the "hardest to kill while learning" sense rather than in the "holds aggro for a group" sense, because nothing in an extraction run generates threat.
You searched “Paladin” · also knight, crusader, holy
Withered Knight
Heavy combat anchor · Greatsword / Polearm & Shield
A fair guess that the beta would have punished and launch rewards. It went from the bottom of the beta tier lists to the most balanced all-round class after launch, and it does carry a holy-damage identity — but there is no healing attached to it, which is the part most players importing the word expect.
Class names, archetypes and stances are read off this site’s own class records, which are built from launch coverage. The “where the guess misleads” note on each card is editorial: it is our reading of the distance between the imported word and the class, not a claim any source makes.
Mistfall Hunter has six classes and none of them are called Mage, Assassin or Healer. Every one of those words does map onto a real class, though, and the translator above does it in one tap. The mapping is not always clean — two of the six carry an expectation the class does not deliver, and those are the two worth reading past the table for.
§02
The two that will mislead you
Four of these translations are exact. Two are not, and picking on the strength of the imported word is how people end up thirty hours into a class they did not want.
Healer → Seer. The Seer is the support class and close to mandatory in a trio, but it is not a dedicated healer: one of its two stances, Mace (Blasphemer), is a melee damage kit. Choosing Seer expecting to only heal means playing half the class.
Tank → Mercenary. It is the safest first pick in the game, but "tank" in the aggro-holding sense does not exist here — nothing in an extraction run generates threat, so a Mercenary is hard to kill rather than able to protect anyone.
§03
The German search everyone gets wrong
Searches for a "Blasphemiker build" are not looking for a seventh class. Blasphemer is the Seer’s mace stance, and the German-language guides use the German spelling — so the answer to that search is the Seer page, filtered to one stance.

Not by that name. The Sorcerer is the game’s spellcaster and the closest match to what "mage" usually means — highest area damage in the roster, and the lowest health pool in the game as the trade.
