When starting Rune Slayer, choosing the right starter class for your race can make a difference in your game. Each race has its own passives that are suitable for certain playstyles. In this guide, I will tell you the best starter class for each race to maximize efficiency at the start of your journey.
All Races and best classes for them in Rune Slayer
| Race | Best Starter Class | Alternative Choice | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Human | Warrior | Striker | Humans are natural Warriors with their enhanced survivability and attacking prowess. Striker is a similar but faster alternative. |
| Elf | Magician | Archer | Elves excel in magic, with their mana and cooldown boosts making Magician a strong choice. Then we have Archer which offers an agile ranged option. |
| Orc | Striker | Warrior | Orcs thrive in melee combat with their high regeneration, making Striker a strong pick. Warrior suits those prefer heavy weapons. |
| Ailuran | Thief | Archer | Ailurans’ speed and agility make Thief a perfect fit, though Archer is a great alternative for those who prefer ranged combat. |
| Slime | Magician | Priest | Slimes’ magic abilities shine with Magician. However, if you want something different, Priest is a strong alternative for more on the healing and support side of things. |
| Half Golem | Warrior | Striker | Half Golems' durability and toughness make Warrior ideal. Though Striker provides a more stamina-based melee approach. |
| Dullahan | Warrior | Magician | Dullahans' healing on kills and resilience make Warrior a great choice. The Magician class also works well for those who don’t prefer direct combat. |
With all that, my advice is to have fun out there. The game is PvP and offers a range of customisation down the lane, so don’t be too hung up on your starter race and class. Go with the choices that are most comfortable and enjoyable for you so you can master your art and have fun in PvP. Starting classes and race does not make much difference once you are past a certain point in the game, and everything depends on how you have built your characters, so focus on your build.
