going back the 4 start characters id say squire, then mage, then monk, then huntress in my opinion. squire and mage get the blockades which can be really nice

The big 4 are Squire, Monk, Summoner, EV. Since you can F6 and have them all play with you at the same time and F8 for P1 solo screen.
Squire will get your monk levelled to the point where monk auras are pure pwnage. Add a nessie for easy +100 stats across the board and you'll fly through game modes pre NMHC and get fat lewtz to find out that everything is soloable with a Jester in the mix.

to answer your question, none. no character can solo until endgame. you need a mix of towers, especially EV and monk. but you cant just use these 2.
My suggestion would be Apprentice. I would say he's overall the best, high DPS towers, high hero DPS, good nuff walls, good slow with Snowball Tower, you could probably at least beat the main campaign on NM with a single Apprentice.

RIght, I'm retarded.
Squire, with gear farming and getting nessie as early as possible will take you a long way

Squire is pretty good for solo. Just note that the game isn't particularly balanced around solo play, so for some maps you may need to grind just a bit prior to taking it on. Monk and Apprentice can become viable after some time, but they will be incredibly annoying to play solo super early in the run.

This is way way more info than you are looking for. (also tons of typos, my dyslexic my my spell check is broken)
Every couple of months for the past 8 years I have attempted this as a challenge. Only listing charecters I that have reached 74 and gotten mythic geared solo I have done 2 Monks 1 huntress, 1 EV 3 Summoners, 1 Jestre, and at least 5 apprentices. The goal that I have never reached is getting full ultimate ++ gear and trying the crystal dimension without doing workshop assault farm. Not that I have ever even gotten close, but you know. Anyway

TLDR, Apprentice, summoner, and Jester are your best bet

App, is nice and well rounded, It can get very far. I have gotten into the 80s level wise and beaten the core campaign on NM. Even on a tower build if you are used to app dps you can help kill things in the early stages. Late game maps take hours just to figure out a build that can defend copters and spiders, but most are possible. Much easier if you are on redux just for tower projectile speed.

Summoner is excellent. Archers are just so well rounded and mages make you defense totally self sufficient. I have done most of the NM campaign. They kinda struggle against bosses, and summoning speed being capped is challenging, but after the first few waves they are amazingly strong, despite no buff beams or auras or any DU.

Monk, while lots of fun you need to kill ever ogre your self. The only upside is that you can just ignore copters and anything that can’t kill the crystals. I have only beaten a few NM maps.

Huntress, not enough anti air, so you have to do it all and ogres. I beat campaign on insaine but didn’t get much further.

EV is almost so good, but the little fact that the redux Sam turret done fire damage means you don’t have reliable anti air. EV is amazing for everything else though. Beams are so strong against everything. I could do a lot of the NM maps but I couldn't really farm them.

I have never touched squire or barb. Squire is probably decent, but years ago as a kid I said I’d never use them and I still don’t lol.

Lastly Jester. Has amazing potential of course with random gift towers. However, the basic 2 are very strong. I was able to clear NM campaign without any random towers. I think using random towers on the second wave and the basic 2 is the best chance at the maps beyond the core campain.

If you have any progression questions or want to know anything at all just let me know!
