Best Classes in World // Zero – Ultimate Class Guide & Tier List (March 2025)

As you progress through the various worlds inside World // Zero, you will realize that you are as strong as the class you are using. No doubt, some classes, like Necromancer and Stormcaller, stand out from the rest. However, almost every class excels at something—even Paladin. So, we prepared the following World // Zero guide to classes and a tier list to help you pick the best ones.

What are Classes in World // Zero

Classes in World // Zero let you switch up your playstyle whenever you want because each one offers a different set of class-specific skills. Now, most skills are just there to help you dish out more damage. However, some classes also have utility skills that increase your defenses, DPS, movement speed, etc.

How to Unlock New Classes in WZ

You can unlock most classes in World // Zero by simply leveling up. Now, there are a few Mastery classes that you can get after you complete some really long and grindy quests. To find out more about these quests, inspect the Elementalist, Mage of Light, Demon, and Spirit Archer classes.

Alternatively, each class is available for Robux. Now, if you want to purchase one of the late-game classes, like Demon, you are better off buying the Skip to Endgame battlepass. The battlepass costs 200 more Robux than the Demon class, and it grants you 140 levels right away. As you instantly level up, you will unlock most classes, including the Demon, and jump straight into the endgame.

World // Zero Class Tier List

In the above tier list, we ranked each class in World // Zero based on how good they are overall. We gave a slight priority to dual-wielding classes. Why? Because they let you switch between perks on the fly and maximize your DPS depending on whether you are fighting regular mobs or bosses. Currently, the best classes in World // Zero are the Stormcaller and Necromancer. Both have very high DPS, excellent AoE, and decent survivability. For more information about each class, check out the class list further below.

World // Zero Class Tier Lists for the Nightmare Dungeons, Infinite Tower, and XP Farming

As I mentioned previously, most classes have their niches at which they excel in World // Zero. For example, the Elementalist, which you unlock in the second world, is insane at clearing later floors of the Infinite Tower. With that in mind, you can find all classes ranked from best to worst, depending on how good they are for clearing specific types of content in the table below.

Nightmare Dungeons	XP Farming	Infinite Tower (Leaderboards)	Infinite Tower (Gear Farming)
Necromancer	Stormcaller	Elementalist	Warlord
Stormcaller	Summoner	Stormcaller	Mage of Shadows
Shadowblade	Spirit Archer	Mage of Shadows	Stormcaller
Guardian	Necromancer	Hunter	Necromancer
Dragoon	Guardian	Spirit Archer	Dragoon
Mage of Shadows	Hunter	Mage of Light	Shadowblade
Berserker	Mage of Shadows	Warlord	Guardian
Warlord	Warlord	Berserker	Hunter
Dual Wielder	Elementalist	Demon	Spirit Archer
Hunter	Dragoon	Necromancer	Berserker
Demon	Demon	Guardian	Dual Wielder
Elementalist	Paladin	Dual Wielder	Elementalist
Spirit Archer	Mage of Light	Shadowblade	Summoner
Mage of Light	Berserker	Summoner	Demon
Summoner	Shadowblade	Dragoon	Mage of Light
Paladin	Dual Wielder	Paladin	Paladin

Each of the tier lists above ranks classes in World // Zero based on different criteria. For Nightmare Dungeons, the overall clear speed is essential. So, the best classes are equally good at dealing with both mobs and bosses. The XP Farming tier list ranks classes based on how good they are for farming XP when you just unlock them. So, use the above ranking to map out your class progression until you reach the maximum level.

Ranking the Classes for the Infinite Tower Leaderboard Runs

There are two main reasons for grinding the Infinite Tower in World // Zero. Firstly, you can earn guild points by pushing to the highest floors of it. Secondly, Infinite Tower is one of the best spots for grinding endgame gear and battlepass XP. To farm gear and battlepass XP efficiently, stick to classes that are good at dealing with a lot of mobs at once. Also, grind only until floor 180, as the mobs get increasingly stronger after that point.

For the World // Zero Infinite Tower leaderboard runs, use classes that apply a lot of status effects. The reason why the status effects are so significant is that they deal damage equal to a percentage of the enemies’ maximum HP. So, the damage of World // Zero classes with a lot of status effects stays consistent no matter how high you climb in the Infinite Tower.

World // Zero Class List

To add more context to all of the ranking we did in the above tier lists, below you can find a list of all classes in World // Zero, along with their pros & cons. Some classes really need good perks to work properly. So, we included optimal perks for both grinding mobs and bosses for each class.
