Picking Classes can be tough as the game offers six base Job 1 Classes and twice the number for the Job 2 Classes. However, you don’t have to dwell too much time on it and rack your head after graduating from the Novice Academy. We have prepared a general-purpose Class Tier List below to help you pick the best Jobs for your Ragnarok Origin account. Do note that all Jobs are viable but some are easier to pick up or build, while the others just need more investment!

What are the Criteria for Our Ragnarok Origin Class Tier List?
- S-tier Classes are extremely strong and easily synergize in any group or for solo play.
- A-tier Jobs in our Ragnarok Origin Tier List are considered good all-rounder Classes.
- B-tier Jobs are hard to use, not free-to-play friendly, or need very specific situations/setups to be played properly. But played right, they can be very dangerous or act as a vital party member.
- C-tier Classes can still be viable in Ragnarok Origin PvE or PvP scenarios but they don’t add much to a team play.
