Three witches in the Witchspire forest — a typical 6-player coven scene
Six-player coven. The strongest party in Patch 0.1.4 is two Threadmaidens, two Emberkins, one Mirewarden, one Stonekin.

How co-op works

Witchspire supports up to 6 players in online co-op. The party leader hosts the session from the in-game menu; everyone else joins via the Steam friends list or a 6-character code. Co-op works for everything except the tutorial and a few NPC personal quests.

Monster HP scales with party size, but loot drops per kill also scale — so a 6-player coven is the most efficient way to play.

Best 6-player party composition

The best 6-player party in Patch 0.1.4:

  • 2 × Threadmaiden — Familiar damage +35% each, mana regen aura.
  • 2 × Emberkin — burst damage dealers. Two is the sweet spot.
  • 1 × Mirewarden — sole healer, also the tank.
  • 1 × Stonekin — dedicated Hearth builder.

This composition beats every other combination we tested for raw clear-time on the Spire Arbiter Hard mode.

Roles in detail

Tank

Only the Mirewarden is a true tank. The Mirewarden’s job is to hold aggro, apply Hagfen Vow on cooldown, and emergency-heal when a party member drops below 30% HP.

DPS

Emberkins and Gloamcallers are the main DPS. Stay behind the boss, dodge-roll on telegraph, weave basic attacks between cooldowns.

Support

Threadmaidens stay at mid-range, cast Loom of Names on cooldown, and re-summon Familiars if they die.

How to host a co-op session

  1. Open the in-game menu and select "Host co-op".
  2. Set a 6-character code and share it with friends.
  3. Wait for the lobby to fill (up to 6 players).
  4. Start the session. The host's Hearth becomes the party’s shared spawn point.

How to join a co-op session

  1. Open the in-game menu and select "Join co-op".
  2. Enter the 6-character code shared by the host.
  3. You’ll spawn at the host’s Hearth.
