Classements actuels et le cadre d'évaluation derrière eux.
Cette page liste les classements réels et vous apprend à évaluer les compétences vous-même.
Aperçu
A "best skills" list is only useful if you know the context behind it. Skills are not isolated power objects—they are tools that support a loop. A skill can be "S-tier" in one build and mediocre in another.
Classements actuels
Below are the current skill tier placements. Note: Only Warrior skills are fully confirmed. Knight, Sorcerer, and Mage skill trees are marked TBD pending public documentation.
S-Tier — Broadly useful
Devastating ground slam with massive single-target and splash damage.
Massive DEF and HP boost. Makes Warrior nearly unkillable for a duration.
Jump to target location, dealing AoE damage and stunning on impact.
Leave a trail of fire while moving, damaging enemies in your wake.
Multi-hit star barrage that hits all enemies in a wide area.
Ice explosion that damages and freezes nearby enemies.
A-Tier — Strong when paired correctly
Self-buff that increases ATK and grants lifesteal for a duration.
Elemental shield that absorbs magic damage and reflects a portion back.
Powerful charged strike that deals bonus damage and briefly stuns.
Precision strike that applies a DEF reduction debuff.
Healing light that also damages nearby enemies.
Protective bubble that absorbs damage and slows enemies who enter it.
TBD — Awaiting data
Draws enemy aggro, forcing them to attack the Knight.
High block chance and damage reduction.
Stacking debuff that reduces enemy defenses over time.
Summons creatures to fight alongside the party.
Rapid chain of strikes for high single-target DPS.
Enchants weapon with elemental damage for hybrid burst.
Philosophie des tiers
Tiers are about opportunity cost. "S-tier" means you can pick it without regret in many contexts. "A-tier" means you probably want it, but only when it fits your loop.
- S-tier: broadly useful, consistent, hard to replace.
- A-tier: strong when paired correctly.
- B-tier: playable but niche.
Dimensions d'évaluation
- Consistency: does it work often?
- Uptime: does it keep your loop running?
- Synergy: does it support your anchor?
- Progression value: is it great early, late, or both?
- Execution cost: how hard is it to use correctly?
Comment utiliser
- Pick your anchor on Classes.
- Pick a template on Best Builds.
- Identify your bottleneck.
- Swap one skill to solve that bottleneck; test long enough to see consistency.
FAQ
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.
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.
