How to read the count

Early Access classes with a version marker before 1.0 are Monk, Sorceress, Warrior, Witch, Ranger, Mercenary, Huntress (0.2.0), and Druid (0.4.0). Duelist and Shadow carry a 1.0 marker. That is the ten. Templar and Marauder are the two undated rows that make twelve planned.

Huntress is already playable in Early Access. Shadow joins the launch roster alongside Duelist. Templar and Marauder remain planned classes with no announced release date.
