Beginner class tier list
Warrior
Straightforward physical attacks and an opening defensive passive make it our first-character recommendation.
Compare Warrior branches →Archer · Spear
Good alternatives when their weapon style appeals to you. Archer has distinct control and precision branches. Spear has a reported first-hit bonus, but newer branch evidence is less mature.
Archer paths · Spear pathsMage · Thief · Fist · Bard
Choose these for their specific role and skill rhythm. This placement means more deliberate planning for a first run, not weak endgame performance. Bard can be an excellent party choice when healing is needed.
Compare the actual skills →Race picks by role
Sustain: Nightborne / Tideborn
Compare damage-triggered healing against turn-start recovery. The timing and cap matter more than the label Mythic.
Magic: Vesper / Celestine
Both have reported caster-relevant bonuses. Read the current panel before rerolling for a particular number.
Fist: Stonekin
Its specific Fist bonus gives it a clear role match. That reasoning does not extend to every melee class.
Progression: Human
The XP and Mastery bonus serves a leveling goal. A common roll can still be the useful choice for that stage.
Talent picks by task
| Task | Pick to examine | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|
| All-round | Prodigy | Broad bonuses if you already have it. Its 1% reported chance is not a reason to spend unlimited spins. |
| Magic | Arcane Spark | A direct fit for a magic kit that needs a better opening turn. |
| Farming | Fortune’s Favor | Useful when reward farming is the goal; it does not supply a direct survival bonus. |
| Progression | Quick Study | Keep it while leveling rather than discarding it because of its rarity. |
| Defense | Iron Soul | Consider it when repeated stun, burn or poison is disrupting runs. |
Why we do not rank every Ultra from S to D
The available class guides establish names and skills, but not a controlled comparison across equal gear, difficulty and enemy selection. A complete-looking ranking would hide that missing test. Use the Ultra route table and your class guide to compare abilities, then choose the one that solves your current run.
