How to Train Classes and Level Up
At the start of your Arcane Lineage journey, you'll choose from several base classes. Reaching level 5 unlocks the ability to select and upgrade one, though you can allocate specialization points to desired stats beforehand. Each base class offers unique strengths, making careful consideration essential.
While the base class tier list shows some variation in strength, it's important to note that no class is inherently "bad." Each offers viable options for progression. However, the Thief consistently stands out as a top performer, as detailed below.
