Duelist: Idle Expedition has seven different base classes to pick from, and all of them have different pros and cons. Mostly, you can do well with any class you want as long as the build is on point.

Complete Duelist: Idle Expedition class tier list
To separate all seven classes, I have used three different tiers.
- S-tier classes are essentially the best possible choices.
- A-tier classes are close to S-tier, but you’ll need to get your build on point.
- B-tier classes are really difficult to manage, and you’ll want to min-max your build.
S-tier
- Warrior: This is the most beginner-friendly choice. It offers good damage, decent survivability, and a lot of versatility with how its subclasses work. It’s also an excellent choice to learn the game with, so that’s another big positive. The correct build can see the Warrior reach the endgame easily.
- Mage: One of the best options when it comes to ranged damage. While the damage potential is very high, the Mage can also inflict elemental affixes on the enemy. This makes the class a good choice for different combinations and runs.
A-tier
- Priest: The Priest is, naturally, a great healer, and no other class does it better. In some ways, this makes the Priest a must-use in almost any combination, but the base damage could have been slightly higher to help clear the harder bosses.
- Thief: Has the most damage potential among all melee classes, but you will have to be extremely specific with its build. Unlike the Warrior or the Orc, the Thief does not have a lot of health to begin with, so getting a proper setup with a complementary squad is necessary.
- Orc: The Orc is a pretty decent choice for most players, as it deals an immense amount of physical damage. That said, when I compare it to the Warrior, the Orc requires a bit more care to build properly.
B-tier
- Archer: With the correct setup, the Archer can be one of the best ranged attackers to add to any squad. The class also works well with almost all other classes equally, but it needs a lot of care. Go for the wrong build, and you will end up with poor results. This is why I have put the class in the B-tier.
The only class I have not placed on the tier list is the Elf. I would like to assess it more over time and with some proper builds. The remaining classes I have ranked above will give a good idea of how to run an optimal squad.
