Guerrero

The warrior is an excellent option for players who prefer an offensive playstyle and aim to deal substantial damage.

Arma

Giant’s Bane: This powerful axe is the warrior’s ultimate weapon, perfectly complementing their devastating abilities such as the destructo-spin. The spin move is highly effective for clearing out groups of enemies and delivering a strong blow to formidable opponents.

Alternative options: The turbo-slam is another viable ability, although it falls slightly short in terms of damage compared to the destructo-spin. It requires precise accuracy to fully utilize its potential.

reliquias

Ring of Mirrors: This relic consistently stands out as the top choice due to its overall effectiveness. The illusion fighters it generates provide tremendous support, significantly enhancing your combat capabilities.

valquiria

The Valkyrie is an excellent choice for players seeking a balanced playstyle that combines defense and offense. The Valkyrie’s shield block ability is particularly noteworthy as it reflects many enemies’ attacks back at them.

Arma

Final Justice: The ‘extreme prejudice’ ability proves to be the best all-around choice. It excels in both crowd control by clearing groups of enemies and dealing a powerful blow to formidable foes.

Runner-up options: The intercept ability can also be effective for defensively leaping away from sticky situations, although it is not as potent as extreme prejudice. Shield throw is a decent option, but it lacks the crowd-clearing capabilities of extreme prejudice. Smite is generally considered the weakest ability since it only strikes a single enemy at a time.

Talismán

Mark of the Commander: The ‘Summon Valkyries’ ability takes the lead when dealing with tough adversaries like bosses. Combine it with the ring of mirrors to temporarily have a small invulnerable army fighting alongside you. Recordar, you can only summon the Valkyries using potions, so make sure to use them strategically.

Mago

The Wizard is an excellent choice for players who enjoy providing support to the team while keeping a safe distance from the battlefield. Sin embargo, due to having the lowest health, it is crucial for the Wizard to maintain distance from enemies and rely on hit-and-run tactics.

Arma

The Hollow Chapters: Opting for the Void school will grant the Wizard the best crowd-clearing abilities. A highly effective strategy involves using the vacuum spell to draw a massive group of enemies into a confined area and then launching a fire bomb right into the heart of the mob.

The Wizard possesses a variety of spells, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. It is definitely worthwhile to acquire other weapons (hechizos) for the Wizard, depending on specific situations. Sin embargo, giving up the water/ice and fire abilities can be a significant drawback.

Endritch’s Mystic Sphere comes in as a close runner-up since its moves allow the Wizard to move swiftly and evade trouble. Además, the Wizard can utilize various supporting attacks to bolster the offensive capabilities of teammates.

Talismán

Merlin’s Bookmark: The arcane blast stands out as the best option, offering a potent attack that proves invaluable when the Wizard is in dire straits or needs to deliver a strong blow to a boss.

Duende

The Elf is a fantastic character choice for players who enjoy a hit-and-run playstyle with a focus on ranged combat. Due to having low health and limited ability to engage in close-quarters combat against large mobs, the Elf excels in quickly striking and evading.

Arma

The Messenger: The mortar shot emerges as the Elf’s most powerful offensive attack. It is highly effective against crowds, generadores, and bosses. It is advisable to avoid relying on the vault shot, as it is not as potent in comparison.

Talismán

The Necromancer is an excellent character choice for players who seek to overpower the enemy with an army of the undead. Sin embargo, it is crucial for the Necromancer to maintain a safe distance from the battle. Please note that this character is only available via DLC.

Arma

Eternal Night: The summon shades ability proves to be the most effective in terms of damage output and rate of attack.

A good strategy is to weaken enemies and empower your evil spirits before unleashing them. Repeat this process to maintain a strong offense.

Talismán

Dream Catcher: The dark remnant ability stands out as the strongest magical attack for the Necromancer. It requires the use of a potion, so employ it strategically when it truly matters. This ability deals significant damage to large crowds of enemies.
