An Average Campaign can be a pretty difficult game, with death being less of a failure state and more of a mandatory step for progression, so the best thing you can do to ease your journey is pick the right class for the job. That's where our An Average Campaign Class Tier List comes in, with a detailed breakdown on pros and cons for all of the available subclasses.
The Best Classes in An Average Campaign
There are six base classes in An Average Campaign, and you can use the Magic Mirror to change between them, unlock new passive benefits in the skill trees, and customize your character's appearance. Those base classes are:
| Class | Details |
|---|---|
 Priest | A very flexible class that can do damage, heal and buff allies, while also debuffing enemies. Scales primarily with faith. |
 Ranger | A ranged DPS that focuses on applying debuffs to enemies that increase the team's damage. Scales with dexterity and intellect in its base form. |
 Warrior | A melee fighter that focuses on protecting allies and buffing the team. Scales with strength primarily, but needs some constitution as well for tanking purposes. |
 Mage | A caster that focuses on self-buffing and doing a lot of damage, being somewhat of a glass cannon. Scales primarily with intellect. |
 Brawler | A fast melee attacker that focuses on multi-hit attacks and buffing itself. Scales with both strength and dexterity. |
 Rogue | A fast attacker that focuses on applying debuffs and dealing critical damage to enemies. Scales with dexterity primarily. It can be a little RNG-dependent due to its focus on critical strikes and dodging. |
While the base classes are effective on their own, each has two subclasses, all with varying power levels. The true potential of each class is only unlocked after choosing a subclass, so with that in mind, you can check out how they all compare to one another in our An Average Campaign Class tier list below.
S Tier - Most Powerful Classes
The best classes in the game, perfect in any party composition.
| Subclass | Details |
|---|---|
| Druid (Priest) - Unlocked from A Resting Druid event in the Forest | + Druid class has amazing supportive abilities with its party-wide regeneration and single-target damage buffs, while also providing some great damage over time. + Summons a bear companion that can tank a good amount of damage and jump in front of debuffs that the enemy might send your way. This is also a great way for dishing out some decent passive damage itself. + While this class shines in parties with other players, it can do pretty well in solo runs as well, due to your animal companion. |
| GloomStalker (Ranger) - Unlocked from The Gloomstalker event in the Dungeon | + GloomStalker is the best boss killer class, able to dish out amazing damage by itself, but the Hunter's Mark applied by its abilities also buffs the damage of your whole team. This is the best ranger class for utilizing this effect because all of its abilities also scale with intellect. + Also applies Soulrend, which increases the force damage received by enemies. It can also become Shrouded, reducing aggro and boosting your own damage. - Can be pretty squishy and dies easily if things go wrong and you get focused by the enemies. |
| Rampager (Warrior) - A Powerful Stranger event in the Forest | + Rampager is an amazing damage dealer with ways to stun and apply debuffs to enemies. + Probably the best class in the game for doing solo runs, while also being great in teams due to the team-wide buffs and crowd control it offers. - High focus cost for abilities. |
A Tier - Great Class Choices
While not auto-included on any team like the classes above, these are still great choices with a lot to offer the team as a whole.
| Subclass | Details |
|---|---|
| Fey Wanderer (Ranger) - Unlocked from the Fey Wanderer event in the Forest | + Fey Wanderer applies great debuffs to the enemy, mainly in the form of Faerie Fire. This makes them miss attacks and increases the critical strike chance for attacks. + Feybomb is an amazing source of AoE damage, turning an enemy into a living bomb that explodes on death and damages the rest of its allies. + Can summon a Fey Wisp that attacks enemies, can inflict Charm on them, while also being able to buff and heal you. - Because this class scales more from dexterity and faith, your Hunter's Mark gets neglected because it scales off of intellect. |
| Zealot (Priest) - Unlocked from a A Single Zealot event in the Dungeon | + Zealot turns your supportive class into an AoE damage specialist, with both great burst damage and damage over time effects. + Applies Blind with its abilities, giving the enemies a pretty big chance to miss their attacks. A good utility for your team while they're focusing on destroying the enemies. - While you still have healing abilities from your base class, you lose out on some team utility by taking this route. That being said, sometimes the best defense is a holy-powered offense. |
| Beast (Brawler) - Unlocked from The Beast event in the Dungeon | + Beast does amazing damage thanks to the Unleashed status effect which provides a great damage boost, on top of having great sustain with the amazing lifesteal buff. + Can apply bleed for damage over time that helps against tougher enemies. Sadly, it is not effective against smaller ones because you will be destroying them long before it takes effect. - The Unleashed damage and lifesteal buff comes at the price of taking more damage as well. It's mostly not an issue though, due to the self-sustain you have in your kit. |
B Tier - Good Situational Classes
These are still good choices that you can win a run with, but are more tied to specific team compositions. They don't work as great if you don't construct a team around them.
| Subclass | Details |
|---|---|
| Knight (Warrior) - Unlocked from Knight's Caravan event in the Dungeon | + While it might not be a flashy role, Knight is the primary tank of the game and a great addition to any team. This class focuses on gathering the enemy's attention and taking all the hits instead of the squishier allies. + Applies a lot of debuffs that make the enemy take more damage, deal less damage, and prevent their energy regeneration, stalling their powerful abilities. - Not a great choice if you plan on doing solo runs. |
| Necromancer (Mage) - Unlocked from the Necromancer event in the Dungeon | + Necromancer can summon undead minions that attack the enemies. The Skeleton can stun them, and the Undead Knight inflict Vulnerable, increasing the damage they take, while also protecting allies and transfer any damage to the Necromancer. + Has a strong AoE ability that applies Bleed and heals you based on the damage dealt. It can also protect an ally and stop them from dying for two turns. - Can't have more than one summon up at a time, so your undead army fantasies will stay unfulfilled. |
| Elementalist (Brawler) - Unlocked from A Meditating Man event in the Forest | + A flexible subclass with different stances that you can swap between depending on your current situation and your team's needs. + Has a great support ability that buffs your whole party and heals them as well. Also has a great finishing move whose properties change depending on your stance. - Falls into the jack of all trades, master of none category. While it can be pretty fun to play, it's also a very complicated class, so I don't recommend it when you're just starting. |
| Assassin (Rogue) - Unlocked from the Strange Man event in the Forest | + All abilities apply stacks of Bleed, with Vicious Attack acting as a finisher that deals more damage based on the number of stacks on the enemy. + Assassin has a great AoE skill that can apply Bleed to all enemies at the start of the fight. - Can take a bit to set up, and its abilities don't get to shine in shorter fights against smaller enemies. Also suffers from rogues' core problem: RNG dependence. |
C Tier - Not Worth Using Right Now
While you can still find success with them, none of the classes in this game are unplayable. Compared to the rest, these don't offer the same payoff but come with bigger downsides.
| Subclass | Details |
|---|---|
| Bloodkin Warlock (Mage) - Unlocked through An Upsidedown Individual event in the Forest | + Bloodkin Warlock does some pretty nice damage, while also applying Bleed with most of their abilities, and increasing the lifesteal of anyone that attacks the afflicted enemy. - All your subclass abilities cost HP to cast, making it pretty risky. Especially considering you're already squishy, and Mana Surge makes you take a lot more damage. |
| Drifter (Rogue) - Unlocked from the Lone Drifter event in the Dungeon | + Drifter has access to a lot of self-buffing abilities and can deal amazing single-target damage after setting up. + The Bounty debuff boosts the critical strike chance and damage of the whole team when attacking the affected enemy. - While it can do some great damage, it requires a lot of setup, two whole turns of it to unlock its true potential. Most fights can be over before you even attack, making the whole buffing step only work against bosses, but at that point, you might as well just play the Assassin. |
An Average Campaign Class Tier List FAQ
Yes, the game supports solo play or up to five players in a party, with a recommended party size of three or four.
Is the game easier with more people?
Yes, but mostly because it's designed to be played in a group with other people, where you can combine your abilities. The enemy's HP and damage does increase with every player beyond the first to balance things out.
Should I always go for a subclass, or can I beat a run with just the base one?
While there are specific builds that make your base classes viable, and it can be a fun challenge, for the most part, I recommend always picking up a subclass and going into each run with your mind already made up on which one you'll be taking.
What should I spend my resources on first?
Buy some starting boons first, since they'll always be helpful no matter what class you choose to play, while investing in the skill tree will punish you if you later want to switch and play something else. Focus on the skill tree only once you have a sizable pool of useful boons for different occasions.
