Class tier list

[mic01851165]

Disclaimer, I have every items unlocked, all blessing maxed.
This tier list is assuming with best item setup on the most optional build of that class.
I did a lot of testing trying out different set up on every classes and here is my list.
It will mainly focus on the main weapon, factor in some perk that can buff side weapon. Do note this is only MY OPINION , not concrete fact.

S teir: Top tier clear and single target, able to keep the screen so clean nothing can touch you, good for every situation and does not rely on specific double weapon perk.
- Warlock: main weapon focus build is rly strong, almost always the highest damage weapon in the damage list. With the hotfix, conversion works on Warlock now making an already op class even more op. Nothing can touch you.
- Cleric: there's way to scale its main weapon damage to ridiculous level for both clearing and bossing using rings. Status effect build on cleric is absolutely insane.


A tier: Very solid class that can burst boss down while keep the mob relatively clean w.o too much trouble but requires a little bit of positioning and side weapon luck.
- Archer: Crit speciality. Scale very well with Projectile and can clear screen clean with enough proj scaling. Kill boss super fast.
- Sorcerer: perk is strong for lightning and fire weapons but main weapon is just ok. Piercing limits its target too. Rly high crit damage.
- Exterminator: crit damage has -80% penalty with main weapon so the side weapon choice is a bit more restrictive, however his main weapon is still very strong.

B tier: Good enough class but compare to other class it falls a bit flat.
- Barbarian: tanky, strong and straight forward main weapon, but slightly weaker than cleric in terms of radius and multihit. Mediocre against bosses cuz no status stacking or strong single target

C tier: Can kill boss fine but mobbing is awful in general. Relies a lot from side weapons.
- Shield Maiden: Has high crit damage but clearing it's just so awful you can't rly count on it alone. No synergy perk with side weapons too.

After a lot more testing, I change my list a slight bit.

Archer bumping up to A cuz not only it has good clear, it also kill bosses extremely fast if you manual aim.

Barb kick down to B cuz bossing wise his dps is pretty mediocre.

Warlock becomes the strongest class after the hotfix that lightning ring and fire ring both work on it now. Not only does it do absurd damage, now it also stacks status effect quickly like cleric.

w00t rings works now on warlock? uff :D

My tier list:

S: Shieldmaiden, Sorceress

Most defensive class IMO. Defense and block perks are +4 which are the highest in the game and she can get a combination of HP/defense, block/defense, etc. making her the most unkillable class. Plus she hits like a truck. You can tank swarms in aquaduct at the 28 minute mark with no problems and you can crit for like 4000+ damage.

Sorceress is S because she deals an insane amount of damage, and that's just the base damage. She gets really good crit % and crit damage perks, and when fully built she can kill bosses with only a few hits. And that's not counting the electrify and the awesome synergies she gets with electric abilities.

A: Cleric, Exterminator, Archer

Clerics cannot crit, and that's what's holding her back. Your early game is very good, but you don't scale as hard as Sorc or Archer. She has good HP regen but she isn't a shieldmaiden so she cannot take too many hits. Still solid because when built correctly she can deal a lot of damage.

Exterminators can deal a lot of damage, but is very synergy dependent. He's pretty much limited to only fire-based builds which means if RNG screws you over and you can't get meteor or dragon's breath your overall damage will plummet.

Archers have more range than sorceress, but doesn't scale as hard as sorcs. He's a good solid late game DPS, but whereas Sorcs also have electricity synergy, he doesn't really have much good synergies.

B: Swordmaster:

Swordmasters are decent, and have the best HP perks in the game, but not as tanky as shieldmaidens, has less AoE than clerics, and is the middle of the pack when it comes to damage. They're just ok.

C: Warlock:

I can't get this class to work, I'm sorry. He's a summon class but summons are pretty bad in this game. He can deal a lot of damage late game but he cannot crit, and he needs to take a lot of perks just to come close to the level of damage a sorceress or even cleric has, all while he becomes even squishier than a sorc. His early game is also very horrendous; I cannot beat Aqueduct with him because he's the only class that cannot effectively kill the knight and cavalier minibosses on time.

Trick to play warlock, dont pick anything related to summon :>
If you see defensive stat/ summon tag on your class specific trait, AVOID IT at all cost.
Only pick main weapon damage, main weapon projectile, main weapon atk speed, main weapon duration. Pick all the traits that reduces your hp too.

Warlock is a trick class, there's only 1 good option and if you pick the wrong one your warlock gonna be bad.

Warlock becomes the strongest class after the hotfix that lightning ring and fire ring both work on it now.

Im wondering if Lightning and Fire Affinity works for main attacks, in that case you wouldn't need to occupy 2 ring slots to get lightning and fire to proc on enemies with main attacks.

Would be nice if dev would add what works and what doesn't work for attacks and abilities, some things are obvious ofc, but then ther are some that aren't, like lightning and fire affinity .

Damage % doesn't.

to be honest all classes are S tier when u unlock all the skills in the game .
in the 3rd map u can get up to 8 skills so ur main attack dont even do anything.

i took meteor , lightning strike , cog throwing ,lighting ball , and fire breath , stand in the middle and i clear all the mobs at the edge of the screen. my main attack with max reach and cone didnt do ♥♥♥♥♥

Who need other weapon when one weapon is more than enough to easily clear the whole stage? This is what warlock is capable of.
Other weapon is only there to boost up lord's kill speed and that's all.

Knowing this i think i'd stick with 1 weapon only from now on. I notice if you max out every skills you can actually get gold from leveling. It's just normally it's impossible if you grab any other weapon in this game.

Swordsman needs some love fr, it's the only class that seems subpar compared to the others I've unlocked so far.

[Atomsk]

Shield Maiden = S
Pyro = A
Warrior/Archer = B
Warlock = C
Cleric = F

[macaco louco]

my best score in the bridge map is 39m with archer, so
archer S
warrior/pyro A
Warlock B
Shield Maiden C
Cleric D

I'm not going to make a list but I am going to justify why you all should move exterminator to your S tier list. I forget which skill it is, but it's tier 5 and 6 weapon skill. You can get +20% range 3 times to main weapon, but the 4th one is +30% range (Elemental) this has some hilaaarious effect. Bundle that with the +fire chance and damage perks and this becomes one of the best screen cleaners in the game. Meteor strike is pretty solid for this but this affects kugelblitz and lightning strike because just range effects, flame breath with the jet upgrade is fun for this too.
