The 
Hunter ("Hu") class is a standard melee class. Boasting a varied arsenal of strong Melee-type weaponry and a Skill Tree that promotes both offensive and defensive play, the Hunter class is well-suited for solo play.
Reaching Level 75 with this class grants the following base stat boosts to all class and characters on the same account: HP +50, 
+15, and 
+40
Class Weapon Overview
Hunters use three unique weapons: 
Swords, 
Wired Lances, and 
Partisans
Swords
A large broadsword used for heavy melee strikes. What it lacks in speed, it makes up for in raw damage. The Sword is a jack-of-all-trades weapon, possessing utility in almost any situation and being capable in a variety of areas. However, it lacks range compared to its other Hunter weapon counterparts. Swords can be powered up by the Skill Sword Focus, which grants them faster charge speeds and a variety of bonuses for staying on the offensive.
Sword's Weapon Action is Guard. By holding the Weapon Action Button, any attacks dealt to you will inflict sharply reduced damage and minimal knockback at the cost of PP.
Wired Lances
A pair of blades hooked to handles by an extendable cable. The specialized blades are capable of striking targets far and wide, at the cost of some raw damage. Wired Lances also excel in grappling targets, manipulating their positions and using them to strike other foes around them. Wired Lances can be powered up by the Skill Wired Lance Focus, which allows them to expend Gear built up by attacking to boost the strength of their grapple-type attacks.
Wired Lance's Weapon Action is Guard. By holding the Weapon Action Button, any attacks dealt to you will inflict sharply reduced damage and minimal knockback at the cost of PP.
Partizans
A long, bladed spear. Despite not having the sheer strength of a Sword, the Partisan makes up for it in its other attributes, with a solid attack speed and great range and mobility with its Photon Arts. The Partisan user can twirl their weapon following the usage of an attack or Photon Art to quickly restore PP, granting them excellent battlefield control as well. Partisans can be powered up by the Skill Partisan Focus, which allows them to expend Gear built up by twirling their Partisan to boost the strength of their Photon Arts.
Partisan's Weapon Action is Guard. By holding the Weapon Action Button, any attacks dealt to you will inflict sharply reduced damage and minimal knockback at the cost of PP.
