There are seven starting races which you can have on your character. Some are more powerful than others and even offer late game evolutions. But, at the core, having a synergetic class is more important for PvP and PvE situations. So, here's a complete guide on the best class combo for each race in Rune Slayer.
Human Race - Best Class Combos
| Class | Synergy | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Warrior | Best | + Best Synergy because of compatible passive skill. + Gets good DMG buff from Tenacity, useful for Melee. |
| Archer | Good | + Decent DMG increase when HP is low from passive. - Not ideal for Ranged units, because of HP increase. |
| Magician | Good | + Decent DMG increase when HP is low from passive. - Not ideal for Mage units, because of HP increase. |
As mentioned above, the Warrior class has the best synergy and combo with the Human Race because the Tenacity buff adds a 15% DMG Buff and 15% DMG Reduction when HP drops below 50%, making it ideal for a Melee or Tank class like the Warrior. Other classes like Archer and Magician can still get good value from the passive's DMG Buff.
Elf Race - Best Class Combos
| Class | Synergy | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Magician | Best | + Provides the ideal synergy for the Magician class from passive buffs. + Can use all the Race buffs to the maximum extent for best value. |
| Thief | Best | + Can take advantage of the extra Stealth and Speed buff. + Also provides an invisibility skill, which is very useful in late game. |
| Priest | Good | + Can get good value from the CD Reduction and Extra mana buffs. - Cannot use many of the other buffs like Stealth and Speed. |
For the Elf Race, the Magician class is a no-brainer because of the good synergy between the passive buffs and the stats which the class requires. Extra mana, CD Reduction, and even Movement speed, everything benefits the Magician as well as the Thief class with the added benefit of invisibility.
Orc Race - Best Class Combos
| Class | Synergy | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Priest | Best | + Benefits the most from the extra HP regen passive effect. + Overall perks are ideal for synergizing with this class. |
| Archer | Good | + HP Regen provides much needed sustainability. - Doesn't have much value apart from the regen passive. |
| Magician | Good | + HP Regen provides much needed sustainability. - Doesn't have much value apart from the regen passive. |
The 15% Base HP Regen passive of the Orc race is the ideal perk for synergizing with the Priest Class in Rune Slayer, which becomes even stronger in the late game. Other squishy classes like Archer and Magician also get good benefit from the passive.
Ailuran Race - Best Class Combos
| Class | Synergy | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Thief | Best | + Ideal synergy because of the movement speed and mobility perks of this race. + Provides extra resistance and much needed mobility freedom. |
| Archer | Best | + Gets a strong mobility boost from passive, which adds on other skills. + Can make your character have extremely fast movement without dash. |
| Warrior | Good | + Provides a good bit of resistance and movement speed. - No offensive buffs. Only provides mobility. |
The Movement Speed buff (+8%) is the signature passive of the Ailuran Race, with a ton of other additional resistance and fall DMG reduction buffs. These make it ideal for nimble classes like Thief and Archer. You can also try it with other slower classes like Warrior for dodging attacks.
Slime Race - Best Class Combos
| Class | Synergy | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Warrior | Best | + Ideal synergy because of physical immunity passive buff. + Provides extra layer of defense and resistances. |
| Thief | Best | + Ideal synergy because of physical immunity passive buff. + Provides a much needed survivability boost. |
| Striker | Best | + Good synergy because of physical immunity passive buff. + Lacks in PvE, but great in PvP with passive buffs. |
The Slime is one of the rarest races in Rune Slayer, and provides a broken passive ability of +25% Immunity as well as Evolutions among other buffs which make it ideal for Physical attackers like the Warrior, Thief, and Striker Class.
Half Golem Race - Best Class Combos
| Class | Synergy | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|---|
| All Classes | Best | + Can customize perks depending on your class. + Provides boosts to essential stats to make it fit your selected class. |
Similar to the Slime, the Half Golem is also a rare race (6% drop chance) in Rune Slayer. Unlike other races, the Half Golem has three evolutions, namely Siege Body, Assault Body, and Crystal Body, which let you choose the buffs according to your needs. Siege Body is ideal for Warrior and Striker classes. Assault Body is best for Archers and Thieves. Crystal Body is best for Priests and Magicians.
Dullahan Race - Best Class Combos
| Class | Synergy | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Magician | Best | + Passive buffs scale well with magic power. + Grim Reaper passive lets you heal in combat, providing sustainability. |
| Archer | Good | + Passive lets you heal in combat. - Other passive requires close-range attacks to trigger. |
| Striker | Good | + Lots of survivability from passive skills. - Lacks in PvE potential based on class skills. |
The Dullahan is the rarest race (2% drop chance), and comes with various passive buffs which can be quite overpowered. The combat healing and undead body make the race ideal for synergizing with the Magician class and also with most others, out of which I prefer the Archer and Striker for their PvE and PvP potential respectively.
