Lord of Mysteries Tier List — Launch Pathways by Scenario

Official: single-target burst mage (Fool — card-stacking)

Seer 占卜家· Fool 愚者

• Leveling & startA
• Raid PVES
• PVPA
• ExplorationB

Raid S rests on outpacing Mystery Pryer in speedruns plus 'excellent overall' playtest notes; leveling A because early direct damage is low and the curve blooms late; PVP A for a small-scale edge that fades in large team fights; exploration B stays single-source (puzzle warnings).

• 17173 · 2026-05-23 — outpaces Mystery Pryer in raid speedruns; overall performance rated excellent
• 17173 · 2026-06-25 — first-beta top-player log: an all-rounder with no weakness and no single peak
• 17173 · 2026-06-26 — top-tier survival stalling; holds its own in small skirmishes, lacks AoE and fades in team fights
• LDPlayer · 2026-07-30 — T1 band (tarot control + burst, medium difficulty); exploration read: puzzle warnings
• Reddit · 2026-06-26 — demo panel: in neither the top-3 damage nor the top-2 defense groupings

Official: high-mobility assassin (Door — hardest launch class to master)

Apprentice 学徒· Door 门

• Leveling & startB
• Raid PVEB
• PVPS
• ExplorationS

PVP S comes from the relayed official 'best 12v12 class' line plus the roster's highest mobility; exploration S is LDPlayer's all-pathway first place; raid and leveling B follow the 'high skill floor, low payoff' playtest record and long cooldowns — a high-ceiling pick that punishes beginners; whether the public beta already rebalanced it is unconfirmed.

Raid PVE —The demo panel ranks it among the top-3 damage classes, yet first-beta raid runs scored it mid-pack — 'high skill floor, low payoff'. Held at B until proven otherwise.

PVP —Relayed as the officially recognized best 12v12 battleground class; second-beta testers called it broken — whether v1.1.2 rebalanced it is unconfirmed.

• 17173 · 2026-06-26 — relayed as the officially recognized best class for 12v12 battlegrounds
• Reddit · 2026-07-28 — second-beta testers call it broken; whether the public beta already rebalanced it is unconfirmed
• 17173 · 2026-06-25 — first-beta top-player log: mid-pack raid output, 'high skill floor, low payoff'
• LDPlayer · 2026-07-30 — best exploration efficiency of all pathways (wall-phasing and doors; some hidden areas reachable only this way); long cooldowns leave a visible lull after bursts
• Reddit · 2026-06-26 — demo panel: top-3 damage class, naturally the highest mobility, 4-star execution difficulty
• Official · 2026-05-24 — TapTap six-pathway reveal: high-mobility assassin, hardest launch class to master

Official: melee / frontal combat (Twilight Giant — frontline tank, pulls and soaks damage)

Warrior 战士· Twilight Giant 黄昏巨人

• Leveling & startS
• Raid PVES
• PVPB
• ExplorationB

Double S in leveling and raids combines the only mandatory raid frontline with the lowest entry floor; PVP B reflects a bright 3v3 showing against low presence in large fights (the late-game 'opener utility' read is beta-only and unverified post-launch); exploration B rests on a single source (brute-forcing obstacles).

PVP —Shines in 3v3, fades in large fights; the late-game 'opener utility' read is beta-only — post-launch numbers are unverified.

• 17173 · 2026-05-23 / 06-26 — the only mandatory frontline in team dungeons; indispensable while raids are being learned
• 17173 · 2026-06-26 — early-game combat stands out, safe solo pick; shines in 3v3, average in 6v6, low presence in large fights
• LDPlayer · 2026-07-30 — T1 band (the only melee sustain package); exploration read: brute-forces obstacles
• Reddit · 2026-06-26 — demo panel: one of the two highest-defense classes (alongside Spectator)
• Official · 2026-05-24 — TapTap six-pathway reveal: melee / frontal combat, tank pulling and soaking damage

Official: the only healer (Visionary — switchable to a damage branch)

Spectator 观众· Visionary 空想家

• Leveling & startB
• Raid PVES
• PVPUnverified
• ExplorationUnverified

Raid S follows directly from being the only healer, which every source calls mandatory for group play; leveling B because the damage branch is barely practical and the solo pace rests on a single source; PVP and exploration have zero evaluations anywhere — the matrix leaves them blank rather than guessing.

Leveling & start —Stable in group leveling, weak as a damage build; the solo leveling pace rests on a single source.

• 17173 · 2026-05-23 — the only healer; a mandatory class for every group activity
• Reddit · 2026-06-26 — demo panel: the only direct heal (sanity is the health bar), highest support score, top-2 defense
• 17173 · 2026-06-25 — first-beta top-player log: leans on raid damage output, stable in group leveling
• 17173 · 2026-06-26 — the damage branch is barely practical; the healer branch lacks a save-yourself skill; overall lower-mid
• Official · 2026-05-24 — TapTap six-pathway reveal: the only healer, switchable to a damage branch

Official: recommended for new players, relaxed operation (Hermit — AoE mage)

Mystery Pryer 窥秘人· Hermit 隐者

• Leveling & startS
• Raid PVEA
• PVPA
• ExplorationB

Leveling S comes straight from the official newbie recommendation (three corroborating sources), with community notes adding excellent clearing pace; raid A resolves the 17173-T0 vs LDPlayer-T2 split to the upper middle and keeps tracking it; PVP A rests on a single city-siege source; exploration B rests on a single source (hidden-object detection).

Raid PVE —17173 (2026-06-26) rates it T0, 'most stable raid output'; LDPlayer (2026-07-30) rates it T2. The sources conflict — this matrix takes the upper-middle A and keeps tracking the split.

• Official · 2026-05-24 — TapTap six-pathway reveal plus three corroborating official sources: recommended for new players, relaxed operation
• 17173 · 2026-06-26 — version-strong T0: complete toolkit, the most stable raid output, 'hard to drop out of the top band even after nerfs'
• LDPlayer · 2026-07-30 — rated T2 (splitting with 17173's T0); high AoE coverage, excellent mob-clearing; exploration read: hidden-object detection
• 17173 · 2026-05-23 — lowest execution floor, friendly to clumsy hands; slightly behind Seer in PVE speedruns; excellent city-siege experience
• Reddit · 2026-06-26 — demo panel: top-3 damage class

Official: team support, provides buffs (Sun)

Bard 歌颂者· Sun 太阳

• Leveling & startB
• Raid PVEB
• PVPS
• ExplorationUnverified

PVP S follows from the 'best pick for duels and small skirmishes' consensus plus the double-cleanse, super-armor competitive record (large fights stay weak); both PVE cells rest on one qualitative line ('mediocre PVE footing'), so they hold a provisional B under an unverified flag; exploration has zero evidence and stays blank.

Raid PVE —Only one qualitative line exists ('mediocre PVE footing', 2026-05-23) — the exact raid tier stays flagged until a second source lands.

• 17173 · 2026-06-25 / 06-26 — the optimal pick for duels and small-scale skirmishes; currently competitive-dominant (double cleanse + 6-second super armor)
• 17173 · 2026-05-23 — a counter-pick that punishes assassins (one charged shot deletes a squishy Apprentice); PVE footing rated mediocre
• 17173 · 2026-06-26 — weak in large-scale team fights; the super armor took a small second-beta nerf
• Reddit · 2026-06-26 — demo panel: unexpectedly a top-3 damage class; support means buffs/debuffs, not healing
• Official · 2026-05-24 — TapTap six-pathway reveal: team support, provides buffs
