Our independent guide breaks down Dragonkin: The Banished’s documented systems—hero classes, the Ancestral Grid, city development, online co‑op, and platform features—so you can make clear, evidence‑based decisions without relying on hidden mechanics or assumptions.
01 / THE GUIDE
Class Comparison Chart
Create a simple table listing each hero’s combat range, typical ability type, and preferred gear. This visual reference helps you pick a class that aligns with your preferred playstyle before starting a campaign.
- Match your preferred combat style with the corresponding hero to reduce early difficulty.
- Observe how each class’s abilities interact with the Ancestral Grid for synergistic upgrades.

Grid Modifier Test
Select a comparable ability for two different heroes, place it in each grid with varying modifiers, and note the resulting damage or survivability changes. The comparison highlights how modifiers affect each class uniquely.
- Experiment with different modifier placements to discover high‑impact synergies.
- Balance offensive and defensive modifiers to maintain survivability during tougher fights.
03 / THE GUIDE
City Upgrade Prioritization
List all available building upgrades and rank them by immediate combat benefit versus long‑term utility. Use this ranking to guide early development decisions and streamline resource allocation.
- Prioritize upgrades that provide immediate combat benefits early in the campaign.
- Consider long‑term advantages of services that improve gear or character progression.
04 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Role Distribution
When forming a party, assign melee and ranged roles based on hero selection. Discuss each player’s responsibilities to ensure balanced coverage of damage, crowd control, and support throughout missions.
- Coordinate hero selections with teammates to cover both melee and ranged roles.
- Synchronize city upgrade priorities to maximize shared benefits.

Platform Feature Verification
Test Steam Cloud by playing on two PCs, confirming progress sync. Then try Remote Play Together with a friend who only has a controller, noting any latency or UI differences.

- Use Remote Play Together if a friend lacks a copy of the game.
