Best class in Witchspire and coven to choose

Choosing a class in Witchspire, also called a Coven, is the first decision you make; it determines your Witch’s starting wand and elemental affinity. The game doesn’t spell out all the factors behind the choice, so here is a concise look at what each class gives you.

There isn’t a single best coven — the differences are small. The choice mostly changes the colour palette of your starting outfit and the starting weapon, which deals elemental damage and will be either a ranged wand or a melee spellblade. If pressed to pick one, the Cloudpiercer coven might be the best starting class, since it suggests players could gain flight-related bonuses later on, but that is not guaranteed.

Elemental affinities vary by coven, yet that mechanic doesn’t seem fully implemented; the community remains unclear on what affinity actually does and the official site says those details will be explained later, so you can probably choose without feeling pressured.
