Path of Idle: Old Gods Rising Class Tier List
Compare early class roles, published tier signals, and what still needs testing before treating any class as best.
Direct answer
The early class tier picture favors Cleric and Warrior as strong anchors, with Mage and Priest close behind, while Hunter and Mercenary need more testing. Treat this as an early meta snapshot, not a final ranking.
Current Published Tier Signal
Destructoid published a class tier list shortly after release and framed the ranking around how well each class performs in the current meta. It states that all classes are usable, but some are stronger or easier to build around.
The page lists Cleric and Warrior in S-tier, Mage and Priest in A-tier, Hunter in B-tier, and notes that Mercenary still needs more evaluation.
Role Notes
Cleric is described as a strong support option that boosts team survival and damage output. Warrior is described as a melee option with hybrid damage and tank potential.
Mage offers ranged elemental and area damage. Priest appears more complex, mixing magic capability with build-specific ideas such as Bone Chill. Hunter reads as a more standard ranged damage option.
How to Use This Page
Use the ranking to choose test priorities. Do not treat any tier list as a guarantee unless it matches your gear, runewords, and stage progress.
Source notes
- Destructoid class tier list is the primary early source.
- Steam confirms team strategy and auto-battle as core systems.
- Further in-game testing is needed for Mercenary and exact builds.
