How it is calculated
- Formula
- Consensus tier = median of all source tiers on a common S–D scale; agreement = share of sources that put the class exactly in the consensus tier.
- Data source
- 7 public tier lists (linked in the table header)
- Data version
- Global 1.0 · Oct 15, 2026
- Confidence
- Medium — tier lists are opinions; the more sources agree, the more reliable the tier
Editorial verdict
- Gladiator S
- S in 6 of 7 lists, including every Global-based list. The safest PvP pick right now.
- Assassin S
- S in 5 of 7 lists and in every Global-based list. Only the KR user posts rate it lower.
- Templar A
- Consensus A (4 of 7). Strong in organized group play, low kill pressure alone.
- Ranger A
- Consensus A (4 of 7). Good in large RvR and kiting. The low KR ratings (B, D) come from single-user forum posts.
- Sorcerer A
- Consensus A (4 of 7). High burst and control, but fragile when focused.
- Spiritmaster B
- Consensus A, but 2 of 3 Global-based lists say B. Strong in large fights, tends to lose duels. We rate B for Global.
- Cleric A
- Consensus A (3 of 7). Strong sustain in group and 2v2, weak alone.
- Chanter B
- Consensus A, but 2 of 3 Global-based lists say B. Opinions are split on its value in small fights.
Methodology
Meta tier list. We read public tier lists in 5 languages and keep only lists that rate at least 6 of the 8 Global classes. Each list is converted to one S–D scale: letters are kept as-is; 3-tier scales (T0/T1/T2) map to S/A/B; custom scales are mapped as described in our source matrix page. The consensus tier is the median of all ratings (on an even count we take the better of the two middle values). Agreement = how many sources gave exactly the consensus tier. Column labels show the data basis: [KR], [TW] or [KR/TW] marks lists built on the Korean or Taiwanese service, which is ahead of Global (level cap 50, Brawler). Partial lists that only name top picks (Game8, GamesFuze) are cited on the source matrix page but are not part of the consensus. The editorial verdict is separate from the consensus and gives more weight to lists that use Global data. Player voting is separate again. Snapshot: Oct 15, 2026.
