Best Class Tier List for PvE

Tier	Class
S-Tier	Tempest
A-Tier	Demon Hunter, Barbarian, Crusader
B-Tier	Necromancer, Wizard, Blood Knight
C-Tier	Monk

Given that seasons in Diablo Immortal are brief, major shifts in the meta are infrequent. The Tempest class, being the latest addition, continues to dominate PvE ranks. While the Demon Hunter, Barbarian, and Crusader follow closely, spellcasting classes find themselves in B-Tier. Although the Monk is the sole representative in C-Tier this season, it doesn’t detract from their potential enjoyment.

Best Classes for PvP

Tier	Class
S-Tier	Crusader, Barbarian
A-Tier	Tempest, Demon Hunter
B-Tier	Blood Knight, Monk, Necromancer
C-Tier	Wizard

In PvP, the Crusader and Barbarian emerge as the leading classes, with the Tempest and Demon Hunter resting in A-Tier. The Blood Knight, Necromancer, and Monk each have their moments in PvP, yet fall short of being top-tier. This discrepancy is largely tied to their play styles, especially for the Blood Knight and Necromancer; meanwhile, the Monk’s struggles are surprising, as melee classes typically excel in PvP matchups. The Wizard, true to form, lands at the bottom of the PvP tier due to their glass-cannon nature.

Our Tiers Explained

Below is a brief explanation of each tier:

S-Tier: The best characters in the game
A-Tier: Very good characters that provide viable alternatives
B-Tier: These characters may excel in specific situations
C-Tier: Best to avoid unless you have a special preference for them

Keep in mind that these rankings reflect the standings for Season 31 and may change in subsequent seasons. Just because a character thrives in PvE does not guarantee equal effectiveness in PvP and vice versa.

This means next season could present a very different ranking landscape. If your favorite classes aren’t performing well this season, don’t worry; they may rise to prominence as eager challengers to Diablo and his brother in the forthcoming season.

Moreover, the latest classes introduced, namely the Blood Knight and the Tempest, were not available at launch.

Diablo Immortal Classes Breakdown

Here’s a detailed overview of each character class and their effectiveness this season in both PvE and PvP.

Barbarian

The Barbarian can singlehandedly take down most enemies in Diablo Immortal.

The Barbarian excels as Diablo Immortal’s strongest physical fighter, wielding axes and heavy weaponry. This class is reliable in PvE this season and stands tall in performance. Given its versatility across playstyles, it’s unlikely this class will descend the ranks soon.

Necromancer

A Necromancer begins his journey in Diablo Immortal – Skeleton in tow.

The Necromancer is characterized as a classic summoner, commanding skeletons and golems while employing bone and blood magic against foes. Currently, the class performs moderately in both PvE and PvP, holding a B ranking in each. If you favor minions, this class will still be a solid fit for your gameplay.

Wizard

The Wizard is reminiscent of the Sorcerer from Diablo 4.

The Wizard is Diablo Immortal’s interpretation of the Sorcerer class, designed for players seeking the glass cannon experience, standing back and unleashing devastating spells. While this class performs adequately in PvE, it’s generally ill-suited for PvP this season. It’s common for spell-casting classes to dominate in PvE yet struggle in PvP within Diablo titles.

Monk

The Monk is a lethal hand-to-hand warrior.

Returning from Diablo 3, the Monk specializes in martial arts to defeat adversaries, showcasing skill in close-quarter combat. While currently at the lower end of the PvE tier this season, they can still perform well in PvP with the right guidance. That said, there are more powerful choices available this season. The Monk has enjoyed periods atop the PvP and PvE metas, so don’t shy away from them.

Crusader

The Crusader class is a fan favorite in Diablo 3 and Diablo Immortal.

The Crusader represents Diablo Immortal’s holy warrior class, wielding heavy swords and shields to smite foes while shielding themselves with robust armor. This class excels in both PvP and PvE, arguably standing as the best choice this season, though it competes closely with the Barbarian and Tempest.

Demon Hunter

The Demon Hunter makes a comeback from Diablo 3.

{The Demon Hunter serves as Diablo Immortal’s rogue class, skillfully utilizing traps, crossbows, and knives to fend off the forces of Hell. It’s a reliable option this season for both PvE and PvP, elevated to A-Class in both aspects. Ideal for players interested in both solo and multiplayer engagements, though we anticipate some drop in their meta standing in future seasons.}

Blood Knight

The Blood Knight is Diablo’s first playable vampire!

The Blood Knight harnesses vampiric powers to battle Diablo’s minions, offering a distinctive gaming experience. However, it has seen a decline in the rankings since the introduction of the Tempest class; now recognized as a reliable, though somewhat average, B-Class character this season. Most importantly, the Blood Knight is unique to Diablo Immortal—making it a must-play for new players in the franchise.

Tempest

The Tempest is a water wizard who’s had quite enough of demons.

Introduced in Diablo Immortal in 2024, the Tempest is currently dominating the PvE meta, expected to retain its top position for an extended period. This class utilizes a blend of area of effect (AOE) spells and temporary minions, demonstrating a dynamic playstyle that excels in PvE. However, in terms of PvP, it does not quite match the sheer power of the Barbarian and Crusader.

Consider these rankings carefully, but always prioritize enjoyment when selecting which characters to play.
