The QuestAway class tier list for the official 1.0 launch establishes Healer and Mage in the supreme S-tier, dictating optimal cooperative party composition across endgame dungeon runs. According to verified reports from Destructoid, developer ART X GAMES rolled out version 1.0 with six diverse archetypes sorted into S, A, and B rankings based on baseline kit utility and gear reliance. S-tier picks are currently overpowered without needing endgame gear, with Healer standing out as the only sustain class providing vital party-wide shields and recovery spells. Mage joins the top rung by compensating for paper-thin defense with overwhelming ranged burst damage. Meanwhile, A-tier archetypes demand highly optimized equipment sets to match high-tier clearing speeds, while B-tier picks remain underpowered and struggle in solo or uncoordinated queues. Players looking for nuanced character builds and progressive mechanical deep dives can compare this shift with our breakdown in [Phantom Blade Zero Boss Fight Music Secrets [Confirmed]](/news/phantom-blade-zero-boss-music-reveal) to master encounter tempo. As dungeon difficulties ramp, securing early-game synergy around S-tier keystones proves critical for clean clears.
