Suggestions for Selecting your First Archetype
Any choice can be fun, so don’t stress over it. Just choose something that sounds fun and roll with it.
If you want a
melee damage dealer
try a
Brawler
to run in and stab or slash enemies to death
If you prefer to
blast enemies at range
choose a
Devastator
who can also do a bit of healing or buffing
If you want to
heal and buff your team
we recommend the
Support
archetype. But to play solo, a Devastator might work better.
If you want to
taunt enemies
choose
Tanker
But to play solo, choose Brawler. You’ll do more damage and still be pretty tough.
If you have
transferable skills from other games
consider a
Controller
This skill class has low damage, high buff, or high debuff and optional fighting pets
