Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 Class Tier List
Here’s a quick look at the tier list:
- S Tier: Warrior, Paladin
- A Tier: Warlock, Sorcerer
- B Tier: Wizard
- C Tier: Rogue, Ranger
- D Tier: Priest
S Tier
Warrior
Warriors excel at close combat and can easily outlive dangerous battles. The Tyrant specialty boosts your overall physical damage no matter if you use spells or weapons. Shout gives Warriors multiple uses including healing allies while weakening enemies and accelerating their weapon attacks. Wearing a shield protects Warriors best, especially in the courts where lethal lightning attacks keep coming.
Paladin
A Paladin is your safest pick if you want to stay alive in battles. Although they strike slightly weaker blows than the Warrior, their immune-like power bridges that gap. Paladins convert mana points into two main abilities: they either gain extra shield power to take damage or make their punches more powerful. Using Lay on Hands makes their healing much more effective. Using shields becomes crucial when trying to avoid taking serious injury.
A Tier
Warlock
Warlock excels at regenerating health while using blackjack-style attacks on low tier enemies. The Warlock does deadly melee damage and heals itself so they stay almost invulnerable in combat.
Only Shadow Face’s unmatched might beat them down—other bosses aren’t much of a match for their abilities. Having a shield in their offhand hand makes them even better at staying alive in fights.
Sorcerer
The Sorcerer uses lightning powers to destroy enemies rapidly showing their combat strength. Because they do so much damage, they can survive despite being easily killed. When fighting bosses, you’ll have a problem since you can’t stay alive very long. Your speed to act and where you stand matter most in this game.
B Tier
Wizard
As a one-target master, the Wizard delivers powerful attacks.
While the Wizard damages targets slower during group battles the Sorcerer can manage yet produces superior damage when facing single opponents. They make a perfect fit for gamers who favor striking down bosses or enemy formations disjointedly rather than in large groups.
C Tier
Rogue
While the Rogue holds promise their weak defense against fighters due to broken evasion becomes a serious issue. Fan of Knives excels as a control ability that outperforms every other class skill in handling multiple targets. When evasion is fixed, the Rogue’s performance could push them up to definitely Tier B or possibly Tier A.
Ranger
Compared to the previous game Heroes of Hammerwatch 1, the Ranger lacks refinement. Their combat focus keeps players bow-heavy even though movement abilities and crowd control need improvement. Power Shot packs good punch, but you must equip it as your weapon rather than have it naturally from your class. Better movement and skill access would make this class perform far better.
D Tier
Priest
The Priest’s usefulness is barely noticeable now. Their frequent use of holy wine has turned them into a relic ignored by everyone else. This selection performs the worst since it does not provide any specific purpose or effective features at present.
