Criteria for our Sword x Staff tier list of the best classes

Sword x Staff features two different types of class:

• Warrior classes : these are the experts in hand-to-hand combat. They have lots of HP and defence and can take heavy damage.
• Mage classes: perfect for ranged combat, they fight with spells or invocations. These classes are ideal for crowd control.

We've also opted for the rule of thirds for this ranking:

• S Tier: the best class in the Sword x Staff tier list, right up to the end game.
• A Tier: highly effective classes that offer an excellent alternative
• B Tier: don't bother, this is the least interesting class in our Sword x Staff tier list.

What's the best class for Free-to-Play players?

The best class in our Sword x Staff tier list is also the one we recommend for players who don't want to spend any money (or very little) on the game. We're talking about the Duelist!

The Duelist, the best class for F2P

• Expert in single-target DPS
• Performs highly effective multi-attacks
• Very good chances of survival, thanks to its resistance to damage and life theft

What are the best classes for Premium players?

Please note: the Sage and Knight from our Sword x Staff tier list are fairly weak solo. You'll need to spend money on items to boost their stats. In that case, they'll be very effective for solo progression. On the other hand, if you're playing in co-op, you won't need to invest as many resources in one of these two characters.

The Knight, an excellent character for P2W players

• Excellent single-player DPS
• Perfect for boss fights / long fights
• Has armour and a shield to resist damage
• Inflicts debuff damage reduction on enemies

The Sage, a good premium customer

• Inflicts damage reduction debuffs
• Summoning expert
• Able to heal himself
• High HP
