Builds & tiers
Why do "best builds" differ between players?
Progression stage, available skills, execution comfort, and mode goals all change what feels "best". A good build is repeatable and fits your current bottleneck.
How do I plan a build as a beginner?
Start with a simple template, add stability first, then optimize. Warrior Bruiser is the recommended starter build. The Best Builds page has templates for all 4 classes.
How should I use tier lists?
Use tiers to shortlist options, then test in your own progression context. A skill or companion can be "S-tier" but still wrong for your current bottleneck.
What class should beginners pick?
Knight (tank) is the most forgiving for absolute beginners. Warrior (melee DPS) is the best all-rounder for solo and group play. Sorcerer (magic DPS) excels at farming but is squishy. Mage (support/healer) is essential for group content but slow solo. See the Classes guide for a full comparison.
If you want an actionable next step, pick a template on Best Builds, then shortlist swaps using Skill Tier List.
