Rune Slayer Class Tier List

There’s no right or wrong class to pick! It all comes down to what you’re looking for in an RPG.

S Tier

The best classes in Rune Slayer.

• Priest
  • The ultimate healer class, which branches off into Cleric if you wish to pick up the subclass
  • Whilst only allowed to use Light Armor, this is the only class in the game which prioritises healing themselves and allies, with the ability of reviving them too
  • Deals Holy DMG when attacking enemies
• Magician
  • Attacks enemies at range with magical spells that you can obtain by progressing through the game
  • Skill set includes incantations that buff themselves and allies such as boosts to Strength, Dexterity, and Intellect
  • Has the ability to shield allies to protect them from oncoming damage
  • Can summon food and water to replenish HP and Mana

A Tier

A good choice!

• Archer
  • A ranged class that utilises a bow and arrow in combat – staying far away from the enemy always has its benefits!
  • Highly agile but relies on Focus
  • Battle Aura ability has various forms, ranging from boosting your movement speed and DMG, or reducing the amount of DMG you take

B Tier

There’s nothing wrong with these classes, but be wary of them.

• Warrior
  • A tank class which prioritises defense more than anything else
  • Deals Physical DMG and relies on Focus

C Tier

Definitely not a recommendation/

• Striker
  • A melee class that focuses on using their fists rather than a weapon
  • Relies on close range combat, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it does mean getting up close and personal with strong enemies
  • Uses gauntlets as weapons rather than a sword, bow, or staff

D Tier

The weakest classes in Rune Slayer.

• Thief
  • Excels in high agility, allowing them to move around in battle at an astonishing speed
  • Uses light weapons which don’t deal as much damage
