Frost Mage
Versatile and powerful, Frost Mage offers the best combination of AoE and single-target damage among magic classes. Its crowd control utility makes it invaluable in group content, while its raw damage output keeps it competitive on the leaderboard.
A Tier — Excellent Picks
Marksman
The Marksman delivers excellent sustained DPS from range. Its safety and consistency make it a strong pick for all content types. While it lacks the burst potential of Stormblade, its overall damage over time is highly competitive.
Wind Knight
A fast-paced melee class with strong elemental combos. Wind Knight excels in skilled hands, with high burst potential during combo windows. Its mobility makes it one of the most engaging classes to play.
Heavy Guardian
The premier tank class for group content. Heavy Guardian's defensive toolkit is unmatched, and recent buffs to its damage output have made it viable for solo play. Essential for any serious group composition.
B Tier — Solid Choices
Shield Knight
A defensive hybrid that offers both tanking and moderate damage. Shield Knight is a safe, reliable pick with strong self-sustain. It's particularly effective for players who want to be self-sufficient in solo content. Many Shield Knight players showcase impressive HP numbers on the HP leaderboard.
Beat Performer
The primary support class, Beat Performer provides essential buffs and healing for group content. While its solo DPS is limited, its damage support hybrid build has been gaining popularity. Groups with a skilled Beat Performer clear content noticeably faster.
Verdant Oracle
A nature-magic caster with healing and DPS capabilities. Verdant Oracle sits in a unique niche, offering respectable damage alongside self-sustain. It's an excellent choice for players who enjoy a balanced, self-reliant playstyle.
