Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is a game where teamwork is kinda baked into the formula, but some classes are great for playing alone (especially if you have social anxiety like us). These classes have special abilities like healing, pets, or strong defense that help solo players do alright without needing help. Here is our take on a tier list for the best solo classes and why they work well.

1. Summoner

The Summoner is probably best of the solo classes, using pets to fight enemies while staying safe at a distance.

Why Summoner is Great for Soloing:

  • Strong Pets:

    • Pets grow in level with you so they stay powerful throughout the game.

    • They can take hits and deal damage, keeping enemies away from you.

    • You can give pets some armor and weapons to make them even stronger (something other classes cannot do).

  • Helpful Spells:

    • Summoners have lots of spells for damage and support.

    • For example, Summon Trinket gives you a free drink to save money on mana potions.

  • Easy to Use:

    • Pets heal fast after fights, so you don’t waste time waiting to recover.

    • If your pet dies, you can summon a new one quickly.

How to Play as a Summoner:

  • Let your pet attack first to protect you.

  • Use spells to help your pet and do extra damage.

  • Stay far from enemies to stay safe.

2. Shaman

The Shaman is a strong solo class because it can heal itself, deal steady damage, and use a pet.

Why Shaman is Great for Soloing:

  • Healing Powers:

    • Shamans can heal themselves during fights so it’s a bit harder to die.

  • Steady Damage:

    • Their spells do damage over time, slowly wearing enemies down.

  • Wolf Pet:

    • At level 10, Shamans get a wolf pet that helps fight and takes some damage.

How to Play as a Shaman:

  • Keep yourself and your pet healed while fighting.

  • Use damage-over-time spells to weaken enemies.

  • Let your pet take the hits while you deal damage from a safe spot.

3. Paladin

Paladins are tough warriors who can heal themselves. They’re great for fighting one enemy at a time.

Why Paladin is Great for Soloing:

  • Hard to Kill:

    • Paladins wear heavy armor and take less damage.

  • Healing Skills:

    • They can heal themselves so they don’t need potions or long breaks.

  • Crowd Control:

    • Paladins have abilities to slow or stop enemies, giving them an edge in fights and helping them focus on one enemy at a time while the delaying others.

How to Play as a Paladin:

  • Use your armor and healing to stay alive in long fights.

  • Attack enemies directly and control the fight to avoid being overwhelmed.

  • Focus on fighting one enemy at a time.

4. Necromancer

The Necromancer uses pets and life-draining spells to make it on their own.

Why Necromancer Great for Soloing:

  • Undead Pets:

    • Necromancers can summon multiple pets to help in fights.

  • Health Drain:

    • They can steal health from enemies to keep themselves alive in battle.

  • Control Spells:

    • Necromancers can slow down or stop enemies to stay safe.

How to Play as a Necromancer:

  • Let your pets tank damage while you stay back and cast spells.

  • Use life-draining spells to heal yourself.

  • Be careful when facing groups of enemies—use control spells to keep them in check.

5. Dire Lord

The Dire Lord is a tanky fighter who can heal itself while doing lots of damage.

Why Dire Lord is Great for Soloing:

  • Self-Healing:

    • Dire Lords heal themselves during fights so they can keep going without breaks. They’re also just… Bad&!@.

  • Tough Defense:

    • They take less damage making them hard to kill.

  • Area Damage:

    • Dire Lords can hit multiple enemies at once with powerful attacks, so unlike the Paladin fighting mobs at a time isn’t always a bad idea.

How to Play as a Dire Lord:

  • Engage enemies head-on and let your health regeneration keep you alive.

  • Use area attacks when fighting groups, but avoid pulling too many enemies at once.

  • Focus on upgrading your gear to stay strong.

So What Should You Play Solo?

  • Love pets? Try the Summoner or Necromancer.

  • Want to stay alive easily? Pick the Shaman, Paladin, or Dire Lord.

Each of these classes is strong for solo players, but we think that the Summoner is the easiest and most forgiving for beginners. Choose the one that fits your personality and enjoy exploring Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen!
