Decision rule
Choose the question before the class
- New extraction player: prioritize forgiveness, defense, and a readable combat loop.
- Solo player: prioritize range, disengage, and the ability to leave bad fights.
- Trio player: decide whether the team needs frontline pressure, ranged damage, control, or support.
- PvP specialist: compare queue type and matchup instead of using one universal tier letter.
