Valheim Legends Mod: All 12 Classes, Install and Server Setup
Valheim Legends adds 12 hero classes to Valheim, each with three abilities, its own effects and its own keybindings. You choose a class by offering an item at the Sacrificial Stones, and the mod has to run on the server and on every player's game. This page covers which build runs on Valheim 1.0, what every class does, and how to install and configure it, all checked against the mod's own release notes on 14 October 2026.
Which version runs on Valheim 1.0
The original Valheim Legends by Torann was last updated on 1 January 2024 and is now deprecated on Thunderstore, and so are the community forks that followed it (Visteus, Gia, Dekas). The build for 1.0 is the port by momos3939, listed as ValheimLegends, version 0.7.13 from 11 October 2026. Its notes say it was recompiled against the Valheim 1.0 game files on Unity 6000.0.75f1, which is the engine version the 1.0.17 server runs, and 0.7.12 fixed a long-standing bug that wiped a player's class on death.
The 12 classes and how to pick one
To choose or change your class, bring that class's offering item to the Sacrificial Stones, the stone circle where you first spawn in a new world. From the mod's own class list:
| Class | Offering item | Playstyle | Abilities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Berserker | Bone Fragments | High-risk melee that thrives at low health | Rage, Execute, Berserk |
| Druid | Dandelion | Nature caster: party healing, roots, briar summons | Regeneration, Root Prison, Briar Defender |
| Duelist | Thistle | Agile fencer: precision strikes and dashes | Flourish, Dash, Riposte |
| Enchanter | Resin | Controller: debuffs, charm, elemental weapons | Weaken, Charm, Elemental Weapon |
| Mage | Coal | Pyromancer: fireballs, frost nova, meteors | Fireball, Frost Nova, Meteor |
| Metavoker | Raspberries | Arcane conjurer: replicas and force waves | Replicas, Force Wave, Invocations |
| Monk | Wood | Unarmed martial artist | Chi Blast, Flying Kick, Chi Stance |
| Priest | Stone | Support: heals, cleanses, anti-undead | Heal, Purge, Sanctuary |
| Ranger | Raw Boar Meat | Archer with a Shadow Wolf companion | Shadow Stalk, Summon Wolf, Power Shot |
| Rogue | Honey | Assassin: daggers, blinks, backstabs | Shadow Step, Throwing Daggers, Riposte |
| Shaman | Greydwarf Eye | Totemic buffer | Enrage, Spirit Shock, Earth Shell |
| Valkyrie | Flint | Divine warrior with shields, leaps and flight | Bulwark, Leap, Flight |
Two of the abilities are worth knowing before you choose. The Ranger's Shadow Wolf is a real companion that scales with the Ranger's skill and stays for 600 seconds by default, and the Valkyrie's Flight lets you soar over terrain for scouting and airborne spear strikes.
Installing on a dedicated server and on every client
- With a mod manager (Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman): search for Valheim Legends, pick momos3939's ValheimLegends, install, and launch modded. The manager installs BepInEx for you.
- By hand: install BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2333 or newer, then put the
ValheimLegendsfolder, which holdsValheimLegends.dlland theVLAssetsfolder, intoBepInEx/plugins/. Start once and the mod writesBepInEx/config/ValheimLegends.cfg. - The server needs the same version. The mod syncs its server settings, class restrictions and multipliers included, to every player who joins, and the notes say the server and all players must run the same version.
- On a Supercraft server, switch on BepInEx in the configuration tab and install the mod from Thunderstore in the panel, then have every player install the same version.
Configuration
The settings live in BepInEx/config/ValheimLegends.cfg, or in game through the BepInEx Configuration Manager (F1) if you have it. The ones the mod documents:
iconAlignment: ability icons vertical (the default) or horizontal next to the Forsaken Power icon, withicon_X_Offsetandicon_Y_Offsetto move them.Ability1_Hotkey,Ability2_Hotkey,Ability3_Hotkey: your keybinds, with support for AZERTY, QWERTZ and other layouts.- Balance multipliers for cooldowns, stamina costs, ability damage and skill gain.
- Class modifiers, including the Ranger's Shadow Wolf:
vl_svr_rangerWolfBaseHealth(25),vl_svr_rangerWolfHealthPerLevel(9 per Conjuration level),vl_svr_rangerWolfDurationandvl_svr_rangerWolfCooldown(600 seconds each) andvl_svr_rangerWolfStaminaCost(75).
Set them on the server: the mod sends the server's settings to every player who joins.
Troubleshooting
- No class after the offering: check that
VLAssetssits next toValheimLegends.dllinBepInEx/plugins/, and look for errors inBepInEx/LogOutput.log. - Players cannot connect: one side runs a different version. Put the same version on the server and on every client.
- Console friends cannot join: Xbox, PS5 and Switch 2 cannot load mods, so a server running Legends is PC only.
- After a Valheim patch: check the 1.0 mod compatibility tracker and the mod's own page for a build that matches the patch before you update a modded server.
Frequently Asked Questions

A BepInEx mod that adds 12 hero classes to Valheim, each with three abilities, its own visual effects and keybindings. You pick a class by offering an item at the Sacrificial Stones where you first spawn.
Does Valheim Legends work on Valheim 1.0?
The original by Torann was last updated on 1 January 2024 and is deprecated, and so are the later forks. The build for 1.0 is momos3939's port, 0.7.13 from 11 October 2026, which says it was rebuilt against the 1.0 game files.
Do I need the mod installed to join a Valheim Legends server?
Yes. The server and every player must run the same version of the mod, and the server sends its settings to each player who joins. Console players cannot join a Legends server at all, because consoles cannot load mods.
How do I change my class?
The same way you picked it: bring the new class's offering item to the Sacrificial Stones.
Do I lose my class when I die?
Not on 0.7.12 or later: the port fixed an old bug that wiped the class, abilities and icons on death and respawn.
