In our Sword of Justice class tier list above, we ranked all six starting classes (schools) based on their strength both in PvE and PvP. Generally, the difference in performance between classes in PvE isn’t as massive as it is in PvP, and any class will work. However, in PvP, team synergy, your skill, and your class’s kit will matter much more. Check out the section below to learn each class’s pros and cons.
Tiers Explained
- S Tier: The best classes for the specific game mode, with hard-to-replace kits.
- A Tier: Very good classes that will perform as well as the S-tier ones, but require more skill/game knowledge.
- B Tier: Classes that will underperform in the specific game mode most of the time.
Sylph [Support & Healing]
Sylph is the best support/healer in Sword of Justice and is virtually irreplaceable both in PvP and PvE. Unfortunately, despite its insane utility and value, it’s one of the least-played classes. If you want to always have a safe spot in a party and be the one keeping everyone alive, playing the Sylph is the way to go.
| PvE | PvP | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | S | + The best and only healer/support class in the game + Irreplaceable both for PvE and PvP + Easy to play while dealing decent damage and providing utility | – Doesn’t have as much DPS compared to other classes |
Ironclad [Tank & CC]
Ironclad is the best tank/frontline class in Sword of Justice, with plenty of CC and defensive utility. It’s one of the best classes for PvE, as no other class can tank as well as the Ironclad can. For PvP, it can be replaced with Bloodstrom, which deals more damage and has a more offense-oriented kit.
| PvE | PvP | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | A | + By far the best tank class for PvE content + Doesn’t require much skill to play and perform well + Has decent CC, DPS, and utility | – Bloodstrom has more DPS and is better for PvP |
Numina [Ranged DPS & CC]
Numina is a spellcaster class that excels both in PvP and PvE, due to its versatile kit, summons, CC, and burst damage. It’s a jack-of-all-trades kind of class that is also fairly easy to play. It doesn’t have many weaknesses and is currently the best DPS class for PvP and one of the best DPS classes for PvE.
| PvE | PvP | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | S | + Very versatile kit that is also fairly easy to use + Excellent DPS, utility, CC, and summons + The overall best DPS class in Sword of Justice | – Fairly squishy compared to other classes |
Nightwaker [Melee DPS]
Nightwaker is an assassin-type class, with very high burst damage and mobility. It’s extremely good for PvP, but also the most difficult class to play, as it requires fast inputs and precise skill usage. Because it’s so difficult to play, it’s not beginner-friendly at all.
| PvE | PvP | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | A | + Extremely high single-target burst damage and mobility + One of the best DPS classes for PvP once mastered | – By far the most difficult class to play – Other classes can dish out similar DPS without much skill |
Celestune [Ranged DPS]
Celestune is a ranged DPS class and a real glass cannon. It has the highest sustained DPS in the game, and it excels in PvE. However, it requires good kiting to maximize its DPS, and in PvP, that is sometimes impossible against good players. Its kit is also very easy to master.
| PvE | PvP | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | B | + Has the highest sustained DPS in PvE content + Doesn’t require much skill to perform really well + The most beginner-friendly ranged DPS class | – Very squishy and easy to focus in PvP – Requires kiting and good movement to maximize DPS |
Bloodstrom [Melee DPS & CC]
Bloodstrom is a melee DPS/off-tank class, and it performs really well both in PvE and PvP. It’s a mix of Ironclad and Nightwaker, having a variety of CC, offensive, and mobility skills in its kit. However, it can’t tank as well as Ironclad, making it slightly less of a priority for PvE.
| PvE | PvP | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | S | + Excellent mobility, CC, DPS, and tankiness + The overall best melee class in Sword of Justice + Meta for PvP because of its abusable kit | – Can’t tank as well as Ironclad in PvE |
