99 Nights in the Forest Witch Class Guide

Unlocking the Witch Class: Cost and Requirements

The Witch is a special Halloween-themed class in 99 Nights in the Forest, and it’s the second class to appear in the exclusive Halloween Shop. Unlike standard classes that are unlocked through progression or regular currency, the Witch requires a bit of seasonal effort.

To get the 99 Nights in the Forest witch class, you need to collect 900 CandyCurrency. This currency is earned by participating in Halloween events, completing spooky challenges, and exploring the forest during the seasonal update. Once you have enough CandyCurrency, head over to Happy the Halloween Guy, a special NPC that appears in the hub area during the Halloween event. Interact with him, and you’ll see the Witch class available for purchase.

It’s important to note that the CandyCurrency is separate from the regular Gold or Gems used in the game. You cannot buy the Witch class with real money directly — it requires active participation in the Halloween festivities. Community reports suggest that focusing on the "Treat or Treat" mini-game and defeating Halloween-themed enemies yields the best CandyCurrency per hour.

The Witches Potion: Infinite AoE Power

The defining feature of the Witch class is its starting item: the Witches Potion. This isn’t a consumable that disappears after one use — it can be thrown infinitely, making it a unique and powerful tool for both combat and area control.

When you equip the Witches Potion, you can throw it at enemies or locations, creating a large area-of-effect (AoE) zone. Any enemy that enters this zone takes damage over time. The potion’s effects are particularly devastating against groups of weaker enemies, such as bats, spiders, and the forest’s basic mobs. The AoE radius is roughly 10 studs, and the damage ticks every second for 5 seconds.

Because the potion is infinite, you can spam it to clear out entire rooms or chokepoints. This makes the Witch class ideal for farming CandyCurrency and experience points efficiently. However, be mindful of your mana or stamina — throwing the potion uses a small amount of energy, so managing your resources is key.

Comparing the Witch to Other Halloween Classes

The Halloween Shop has featured several classes over the years, but the Witch stands out for its unique mechanics. Here’s how it compares to other seasonal classes:

The Witch is a ranged AoE class that excels at crowd control, while the Vampire is a melee sustain class, and the Werewolf is a mobility-focused brawler. The Ghost offers unique traversal but lacks damage. If you enjoy keeping enemies at a distance and dealing with large groups, the Witch is arguably the best Halloween class for farming.

Best Strategies for Playing the Witch

Mastering the Witch class requires understanding when and where to use the Witches Potion. Here are some proven strategies:

Farming CandyCurrency Efficiently

The Witch’s AoE potion is perfect for the "Candy Blitz" event, where waves of enemies spawn in a confined arena. Stand in the center and throw potions at your feet — the overlapping AoE zones will melt enemies before they can reach you. You can easily earn 200-300 CandyCurrency per run using this method.

Boss Fights

Against single, powerful bosses, the Witches Potion is less effective because the damage over time doesn’t stack. Instead, use the potion to clear adds (small enemies that the boss summons) while focusing on dodging the boss’s attacks. The potion’s infinite use means you can keep the area clear indefinitely.

PvP (Player vs. Player)

In PvP, the Witch is a zoning specialist. Throw potions at doorways, corridors, or objectives to deny access to enemies. The damage over time forces opponents to either tank the damage or retreat. Pair this with a fast movement speed to kite enemies through your potion fields.

Where to Find Happy the Halloween Guy

Happy the Halloween Guy is the NPC who sells the Witch class and other Halloween items. He only appears during the Halloween season (typically October 1st to November 1st). If you’re playing outside this window, you won’t be able to purchase the class until the next event.

Happy is located in the Main Hub, near the large pumpkin statue. He has a distinct green glow and wears a witch hat similar to the class item. Interacting with him opens the Halloween Shop, which lists the Witch class along with other limited-time items like costumes and potions.

Important: The Witch class is not tradeable and cannot be transferred between accounts. Once purchased, it’s permanently unlocked on that character.

Tips for Earning 900 CandyCurrency Quickly

Earning 900 CandyCurrency can feel grindy, but with the right approach, you can unlock the Witch class in a few hours. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Complete Daily Quests — Happy the Halloween Guy offers daily tasks that reward 50-100 CandyCurrency each. These reset every 24 hours.
2. Farm the "Treat or Treat" Mini-Game — This mini-game spawns waves of Halloween enemies. Each wave gives 10-15 CandyCurrency. Focus on completing all 10 waves for a bonus of 50 CandyCurrency.
3. Defeat Halloween Bosses — Special bosses like the "Giant Pumpkin" and "Spooky Scarecrow" drop 100-200 CandyCurrency when defeated. These spawn every 30 minutes in specific locations.
4. Open Halloween Chests — Hidden chests in the forest contain 5-25 CandyCurrency. Learn their spawn locations for passive income.

Combine these methods for the fastest results. Community reports indicate that focusing on bosses and daily quests yields the best CandyCurrency per minute.

Community Feedback and Player Experience

According to player experiences shared on forums and the 99 Nights in the Forest Wiki, the Witch class is widely considered one of the best farming classes in the game. Players appreciate the infinite potion’s ability to clear areas quickly without worrying about ammo or cooldowns.

One player noted, "The Witch made CandyCurrency farming so much easier. I went from struggling with groups of enemies to clearing entire rooms in seconds." Another player mentioned, "The potion is great for PvP defense. I held off three attackers by spamming potions at the flag."

However, some players find the Witch underwhelming against single targets. The damage over time is low compared to direct damage classes like the Archer or Mage. If you prefer boss hunting, the Witch might not be your first choice.

Is the Witch Class Worth It?

Given the cost of 900 CandyCurrency and the effort required to earn it, is the Witch class worth your time? For players who enjoy AoE farming, crowd control, and area denial, the answer is a resounding yes. The infinite potion provides a unique playstyle that no other class offers.

For players who prefer single-target damage or melee combat, the Witch may feel underwhelming. Consider trying the Vampire or Werewolf classes instead.

Verdict: The Witch is a S-tier farming class and a B-tier bossing class. It excels in its niche but struggles outside of it.

Final Thoughts on the 99 Nights in the Forest Witch Class

The 99 Nights in the Forest witch class is a powerful addition to any player’s arsenal, especially during the Halloween season. With its infinite AoE potion, it transforms the way you approach combat, farming, and PvP. Unlocking it requires 900 CandyCurrency from Happy the Halloween Guy, but the effort pays off with one of the most unique and effective classes in the game.

Whether you’re a new player looking for an efficient farming tool or a veteran seeking a new playstyle, the Witch is worth the grind. Just remember to act fast — the Halloween Shop won’t be around forever.
