The best Subclass for every Class in Rune Slayer
Here are the best subclass for every class in Rune Slayer:
The beast Tamer is the best subclass for the Archer. The mount system will let you have a considerably easier time traversing the map, and your pets will help you take on the tougher content by tanking for you and dealing damage to the enemy as well.
Priest
Cleric
As the Cleric is the only subclass for the Priest you really do not get a choice here.
Magician
Sorcerer
The Sorcerer is one of the biggest backline threats that can completely destroy enemies in the blink of an eye. It’s one of the most balanced subclasses in Rune Slayer that can take on PvP and PvE content equally well.
Striker
Monk
The Monk is all about maximizing the Striker’s DPS output. This subclass is extremely potent when it comes to 1v1 situations and PvP.
Warrior
Knight
The Knight is amazing when it comes to tanking through some of the hardest contests that Rune Slayer has to offer. It’s one of the best supporting subclasses when playing in a party and is the perfect pick for those who like staying on the frontlines.
Thief
Assassin
The Assassin subclass just melts enemies in PvP. They have one of the highest single-target DPS in Rune Slayer and can breeze through enemy players as well as bosses if played right.
