What Each Tier Means
If you’re unsure why each Class placed in its respective tier, this section should hopefully shed insight into each column’s definition.
- S: My personal favourites! These Classes stand above the rest with exceptional skills from the get-go, with versatile attacks and strong upgrades as they progress.
- A: Great choices to make if the S-TIER bunch don’t entice!
- B: Decent, still not ideal. Since you have the freedom of choice, don’t settle for these Classes unless you’re sure you’ll not regret it!
- C: Not the best. Overall, these Classes are niche choices amongst players, not stunting ideal stats and upgrades in their skill tree.
- D: Poor choice to make. Choosing these Classes essentially equates to signing off on playing on hardmode.
