Arcane Lineage Super Class Tier List

Super Classes are why the level 5 weapon purchase is a trap for anyone who only reads names. This list ranks the common forks. Requirements sit around level 15 plus alignment and a trainer. Confirm the live card on the Trello before you plan a Paladin on a Chaotic murder streak.

Base ranks live on the class tier list. Skill details live on the roster.

S — the party does not fall over

Paladin (Warrior). The fork you bring when people you like are also in the instance. Mitigation and frontline tools turn missed yellows into stories instead of wipes.

Monk (Martial Artist). Same job from the cestus side. If your group already has a sword, Monk is the cleaner duplicate. If your group has nothing, Monk still teaches the game.

A — the party wins faster

Assassin (Thief). Single-target deletion with the same blind-and-bleed DNA. Needs someone else to hold slams.

Necromancer (Wizard). The scary Wizard fork. Minions and pressure that make bosses shorter. Still a backliner. Still allergic to solo slams.

Impaler (Slayer). Poison and holes. When the bar is clean, Impaler is why a named enemy looks suddenly mortal.

Berserker (Warrior). Simpler than Paladin, meaner on a single target. Take it when your party already has a babysitter or when you are the babysitter and you are tired.

B — specialist forks

Rogue (Thief). More tools, less “I am the boss button.” Excellent if you like tempo and gold. Easy to underrate until you play a dungeon without one.

Elementalist (Wizard). The elemental Wizard fork. Flashier than Necromancer in some patches, hungrier for Arcane and for a party that keeps you off the targeting table.

Saint (Slayer). Support-shaped spear. The name confuses people into thinking it is Paladin. It is not. It is a Slayer who brought a kit instead of only a hole.

Darkwraith (Martial Artist). Selfish cestus. High ceiling, worse at being the only adult in the room. Take it when you already have a Monk or Paladin.

How alignment ruins a plan

Orderly, Neutral, and Chaotic are not flavour text. A fork can refuse you if your run has been the wrong kind of violent or the wrong kind of helpful. If you care about a specific Super Class, read the alignment notes on Trello before you farm the last levels. The class unlock guide is where that planning should have started.

How to pick without a spreadsheet

• First Super Class on a new account: Paladin or Monk.
• Second character: the A-tier damage fork that matches a race you actually rolled.
• Never: a B-tier specialist as your only character while you still miss yellow.

Spend Soul points from the first Super Class into health. The Soul Tree guide is blunt about that for a reason. A new title does not dodge for you.\n\n## Party seats after the fork\n\nA four-person Hard group wants one Paladin or Monk, one status or assassin seat, and room for whoever rolled the awkward race. Two Darkwraiths and a Wizard is a screenshot, not a plan. If your friends already locked Paladin, take Impaler or Assassin and stop arguing about the S row.\n\nIf you play with random LFG, say the Super Class in the post. “Need heal” is worse than “Monk 16, I have Daze, need a slam holder.” The Discord guide covers the pitch. This list only tells you which name to type.\n\nRerolling a Super Class because a thumbnail moved one name from A to B is how people never see Grove bosses. Pick the fork that matches the weapon you already bought. Then play it until yellow is boring.
