jobs/class tierlist

[FLUX]

some general opinions of mine, all these classes are viable to a extent I would love to hear what other people think, would also like to know if some classes at the bottom of the tier are viable with equipment as well as your personal tierlist

S - tier
hero
idol
hitman

A - Tier
Fortune teller
Host
Dealer
Clerk

B-tier
Breaker
Hostess
Matriarch
Enforcer
Body guard
Homeless guy
detective

C- tier
Gangster
Chef
Musician

D-TIER / not enough playtime
Foreman
Night queen
Devil rocker
free lancer

hero (high single dmg - high aoe dmg - support skills heal/buffs) great class that offers you everything, high single dmg abilities and good aoe abilities make it a strong dps class however you can also buff the party and use supportive skills like heals and revives


idol (debuffs and heals) probably the most useful class in the game allows you to stay alive forever as long as the party member is tanky, has great debuff abilities which allow you to lower the defences of all enemy which is extremely useful throughout the game


hitman ( very useful skillset – has bleed/elec/poison – very good against bosses) best class for dealing with tank enemies and bossed due to poison in general you should have this character with you along with the idol



clerk (great debuffs and status effects good dps) applies bleed in most of her abilities which can be useful when paired with other classes like chef or hitman which have abilities that deal more dmg when a enemy has bleed


fortune teller ( best buffer in the game) not a lot of dps until you get the special attacks however this class is really good for debuffing enemies


host (high ice dmg useful mid/late game – decent support abilities – aoe special attacks) more dmg based class than the hostess however there is less supportive skills


dealer ( massive dmg – great aoe dmg ) great class at all stages of the game due to the dmg output, however this class is based around rng which can be annoying however there are accessories that will allow you to boost the chances of getting better rng


homeless guy ( good fire dmg and decent debuffs) decent class early game has a great fire ability other than that not really anything special

detective ( decent early game class – nice aoe skills ) class falls off mid/late has some decent aoe which is useful early

bodyguard ( great early/ mid game class – huge dmg – bleed ) this class falls off late game as it requires low hp and low mp to get the highest dmg which is risky, the class is also useless against enemies with blade resistance


enforcer ( defensive buffs – decent status aliments) not useful early game however end game this class is really useful to the party especially the last dungeon as this class applies enraged and has really good defensive stats


breaker ( really good aoe damage – self buffs – party buffs ) pretty gear reliant inorder to maximize the damage however if you have the right gear for him he is one of the best aoe based classes, he also gets self buffs after using his abilities which is really useful


hostess ( good debuffs – decent dmg ) host is better in my opinion due to the higher dmg output however this class has more supportive abilities


Matriarch (huge slash dmg – great aoe dps) this class is the best dlc class in the game it has some insane dmg with her slash abilities however you will need a lot of money inorder to get her main weapon.

gangster ( high dmg – high crit rate ) mainly dmg abilities which is good for encounters however this class isn’t really that good as there is no supportive abilities


musician (decent buff and debuffs) main resource of this class is voltage making it not useful in encounters as by the time you get the max voltage the enemies will already be dead, however this class might be useful for bosses or tanky enemies as it has some great skills after the class has reached max voltage


chef ( decent fire dmg – decent bleed) not very useful late game however this class may be more useful if you have the right gear for the class


free lancer ( didn’t play it much but from the looks of things not that good)


barmaid ( decent buffs and debuffs) change to idol asap as idol is the best class for this
character so I didn’t get much playtime with this class


foreman – never played this class apart from unlocking it to break objects


night queen (decent aoe dmg – brainwash) tried to get this class to work however I think you need to right accessories to make this class work as I have hardly been able to use the brainwash abilities maybe the chances would be higher if you could improve the chances of brainwashing


Devil rocker (self sustain – decent aoe) the devil rocker is meh in my opinion while it allows you to heal while dealing damage the aoe is not that useful as it doesn’t deal that much damage however the aoe skills usually have some form of status aliments which is nice In general however this class is not really worth it unless you want to carry over the blood sucker skill

Tier list in single game LOL, thats not to say that you can build based on inherited abilities alot, meaning its beneficial to play all jobs to some extent.

Laughing at enforcer tier B, not useful early game. Thats actually a job that does HIGHEST by far damage most of the game and has good aoe. That electro spear at level 15-20 does like 1200 damage with average shield from gambling for example, noone else comes even close. I actually avoid using that job because its too overpowered

It's the best job for Kasuga since it's custom fit, but it has crap variety and as soon as there are enemies with physical resistance, Kasuga becomes a buff bot or Poundmate bot or mediocre damage bot.

What would you consider the best choices for Kasuga other than Hero?

[OnlyOffensive]

freelancer is obv crap, but the purpose of that job is to get wrestling move and buff and use it for other jobs, wresting move is VERY strong, but unlocks late into freelancer and since job itself very low damage its kinda a challenge to get it.

[Sentient_Toaster]

Homeless Guy gets not one but two attack-everyone skills using different types (fire, magic) plus a debuff-everyone (attack and defense) plus regains MP on basic attacks, making it a very good offensive mage in group fights.

The character skills in Host (the AoE cold attack, rank 10) and Fortune Teller (the AoE lightning attack, rank 18) are both useful if you're willing to grind these as secondary jobs. e.g. Hero isn't particularly versatile in damage types and the orbital laser attack is too expensive MP-wise to spam frequently.

I wouldn't favor Musician as a primary, but having somebody get Rank 4 in it for "Endless Desire" is decent for minor health regen is useful in normal difficulty.

[OnlyOffensive]

yea idk about hero, its a definition of average job, average damage/average support etc. Its a job that does everything but nothing best. For example you say some jobs lack damage, not to be obvious but just give that job for example to adachi who already has 2 decent damage abilities from character, learn smth like shield blast from enforcer that has x8 or smth stupid scaling from weapon and you already don't need more damage abilities.

Musician C? And Idol S? They are essentially the same job ( one male other female ), you say "voltage" main resource? Voltage only needed ( by needed it means it just increases damage, they already do ok damage ) for 2 attacks if im not mistaken, you can buff/debuff/heal wihtout care about voltage + as i said you can use offensive abilities from other jobs easy. Musician has amazing hp regen buff, just the type you need most of the game if you decent with perfect blocks or manage your defense abilities/buffs properly, i'd say musician A easy.

I had Nanba as a Musician for most of my first playthrough and the HP regen from "Endless Desire" was really helpful in any fight I used it in. That skill alone makes the class worth considering IMO (I haven't tried the NG+ difficulties though, so it might fall off a bit there).

honestly i stick to musican being in c tier i have upgraded the weapon he has to the max while it does have pretty good hp regen its not anywhere near as good as idol, as u can just span idols heal endlessly while the musican gives no where near the amount of hp u can get from idol, the debuffs u get from idol are also 100x better

Chef should definitely be higher since it's a Gangster with fire damage. Gangster is definitely not C-tier either since it's just a worse Hitman.

Enforcer is way too high since it really doesn't have anything going for it outside of Paralysis Prongs. Defensive classes are useless imo since they have almost no utility. Enforcer should at least swap places with Musician since that one actually provides support and makes for the best job for Adachi.

Dealer is definitely S-tier since it has a very solid baseline and can outdamage Hitman. It's in fact the only job that can compete with Hitman (because Eri has strong physical stats too).

Bodyguard is valued too high imo. It lacks variety in damage types and it's therefor outclassed by everything that shares damage types with it. It's a hot contender for the TOP 3 from the bottom imo together with Freelancer, Foreman and Enforcer (can't say anything about Devil Rocker though since I didn't play it either).

Nightqueen is really good, but it has to compete with Dealer on Eri and that's just something it can't do since Dealer is the real Nightqueen.

The list really is different for every character. E.g. it makes little sense to make Nanba anything other than a mage no matter how good certain jobs are since his synergy with Homeless Guy, Host and Fortuneteller is just so good. Fortunetellers are also great dps by the way.

Adachi doesn't have many choices because he is extremely slow and doesn't have great physical stats either, so he's best in a support role which by process of elimination makes Musician S-tier on him.

Other than that I mostly agree, I guess. I'm personally not a fan of Hero and would put it in A-tier, but I can see why you put it in S. It's the best job for Kasuga since it's custom fit, but it has crap variety and as soon as there are enemies with physical resistance, Kasuga becomes a buff bot or Poundmate bot or mediocre damage bot.

thanks for sharing you opinion

honestly i think that body guard is just to good early mid game to rate it lower i played as bodyguard in the early mid game and i done massive dmg to bosses and enemies tho i agree the class is pretty bad late game, tho i guess it depends on how u use the body guard, i was able to achieve around 2k to 2,7 k dmg which is insane on enemies that didnt have blade resistances which is insane vs the tanky enemies in some dungeons,

It's not, lol. Enforcer has nothing to offer outside of Paralysis Prongs. The only enemies it shines against are bosses without bash resistance and electric weakness. There are also other single target abilities with similar multipliers. Peppermill Blow comes to mind.

I'd also never make Adachi a damage dealer after a certain point in the game since he is really slow. For physical damage there are 4 characters that are a better fit than him.

well im talking early game, idk about pepermill blow, damage doesnt seem too impressive. Enforcer has good coverage for damage + offers some decent utility, has good aoe, its a solid job for sure. Alot of jobs can be countered by resistance, since most of them are straightforward with damage types, except "mages". Thats where inheriting is valuable, idk i find enforcer very strong.

you tell me you can do 1200 damage with ANY other class on 20 level? that number is just ridiciolus. The way you build characters is pretty straightforward when it comes to stats, so there is no way damage varies much between players, its only the way you build skills may vary. Average damage on those levels, which is early game, which you said enforcer is bad is like 200-300 plus enforcer has good aoe with good scale aswell.

I actually agree on this point, i still wonder what i want to run with Kasuga outside of hero. I tried bodyguard, but don't really like that it has no aoe and only one damage type. Foreman seems kinda nice, i was mainly thinking about chef or fortuneteller, dunno who else could run either of those. I kinda like Chef, it has versatile damage types, didn't try fortuneteller yet.

As i understand fortuneteller is not exactly mage, so it benefits from higher atk characters like Kasuga or no? Chef seems like a good fit for him anyway, foreman too, but i don't like foreman playstyle so i don't care much about how good it is.

Anyway, i feel like i want to run fortuneteller, whos good fit for it? I guess its either kasuga or namba.

Not exactly, it has a few medium blunt attacks, but it gets tons of magic and healing through levels and the weapon itself. Compared to Host it's more of a support mage, but it can get access to a wide variety of character skills. Nanba is the best pick for it since he has the highest magic stat and has exclusive access to Pyro Breath and Malodorous Stench through Homeless Guy.

Chef is one of the best non-exclusive jobs since it has access to two kinds of physical damage and one magic type without the help of character skills. It gets a lot of magic (stat) too, but is also very reliant on physical attacks. With Kasuga being the Joat in the party, he can be a good Chef.

Yeah, I missed the early game part on your post in view on Enforcer. It's true that other jobs are hindered by having very few damage types too, but they at least provide useful stats. Like Bodyguard giving attack+dexterity and I also think that this job is a lot worse than others despite the stats. Defense+HP (Enforcer) and HP+MP (Foreman) are just way worse than getting at least one offensive stat.

[Sweatyfx]

Imagine put Homeless on B, while its pretty helped you out throughout the game. Nanba and its homeless job at maxed level is pretty op. Not to mention his pyro prison (AOE Damage). Also Enforce, put highest damage output, if you equip Adachi with enforce job, he'll become a tank.

Even crap Idol wasn't match those two jobs.
I'm already 99 at all jobs.
