Ranked from three release-week sources that disagree on the edges but not on the top: the Sep 1 creator ranking, Pro Game Guides' Sep 2 list and the Aug 30-31 community wiki rankings. The rule that survives every list: rarity is not power (Boxer and Witch Gunner outclass most Mythics), and the four S-tier kits are unlock chains or a 0.05% roll, not something you spin into on day one. Unlock routes are on the classes page.
S Tier
Name
Role
Why
Sinister Trigger
Exotic · ranged (Dex)
Highest rotation damage in the game per the Sep 1 ranking and #1 on Pro Game Guides. Exotic spin only: 0.05% Normal, 0.1% Lucky — a jackpot, not a plan.
Awakened Devil EX
Evolution · physical (Str)
Azure Devil's evolution: extreme attack speed, multi-charge skills and an i-frame move. The only S-tier you can schedule (Azure Devil Lv.50 + 1M Coins + 1 Devil Heart).
Unrestricted
Requirement unlock · physical (Str)
Top-three damage once you pair it with its Unchained state; needs player Lv.75, 500K Coins, Honored One Lv.25 and 10 Heavenly Fragments.
Honored One
Boss Rush / Forge · magic (Int)
Gojo kit with the biggest AoE burst of the Boss Rush trio, and the material for Unrestricted. Floor 40+ class item or 50 Gojo Fragments.
A Tier
Name
Role
Why
Cursed King
Boss Rush / Forge · physical (Str)
Sukuna kit; God-tier during open beta, one rung down only because the top grew. Floor 40+ class item or 50 Sukuna Fragments.
Anti Magic
Boss Rush / Forge · physical (Str)
Asta kit, same farm structure as Honored One and Cursed King — one Boss Rush lane can feed all three crafts.
Dreadlord
Nightmare drop · physical
Skills 2 and 4 clear hard floors fast; the catch is the route: Underworld Glaive, then a 1% drop from Underworld Gate Nightmare.
Shadow Vagrant
Exotic · physical (Dex)
S-tier on feel in every showcase (Flickering Step dash, clone ultimate) but no confirmed unlock route as of Sep 2 — do not plan an account around it.
Jetstream
Hidden NPC unlock · physical (Dex)
Fast combos, a direct upgrade path from Azure Devil via the Jetstream NPC (Lv.50 Azure Devil, Exotic Shattered Armor, 3 Devil Hearts per the Aug 31 unlock guide).
Azure Devil
Celestial 0.5% · physical (Str)
Best Celestial you can roll: insane attack speed on M1s (pairs with Alacrity) and the prerequisite for Awakened Devil EX. Keep it equipped while it levels.
B Tier
Name
Role
Why
Witch Gunner
Legendary · ranged
Best Legendary in the pool: long-range damage that makes hard floors safe, and the standard solo Boss Rush class with the Ruin Aspect.
Boxer
Epic · physical (Dex/Str)
The proof that colour is not power: a 20% Epic whose M1 speed stays viable into late game, and a machine gun with Alacrity + Ruin.
Artemis
Celestial 0.5% · ranged (Dex)
Solid bow kit with a hold-variant aerial shot and the God Hunter title at class Lv.50. Gets the job done while you chase S-tier.
Vacio
Celestial 0.5% · hybrid
Ulquiorra-style kit (Cero Blast, Sonido Barrage, Javelin Toss). Respectable main if Azure Devil never lands.
Forge Archon
Celestial 0.5% · ranged/skill
Twin Projection and Supreme Cell Blades give it a skill-heavy playstyle; reliable, not meta.
Founder
Shop bundle (7,500 Robux)
Grand Sovereign Pack class. Strong burst, entirely optional — no free route exists.
Streamline
Celestial / starter compensation
Water kit tied to the Tidemaker Katana starter compensation; decent for standard dungeons, slower clears than the A-tier Celestials.
Demonbane
Celestial 0.5% · magic (Int)
Mythical Staff kit (Refraction, Arcane Storm). Showcases overrated it into best-class talk; it is a mid-game workhorse.
C Tier
Name
Role
Why
Divergent
Mythic 2% · physical
Yuji-style Black Flash combos. Fine, high M1 volume feeds Blaze — swap when anything above B appears.
Wanderer
Mythic 2% · physical
Mythic colour, C-tier clears. Do not protect it with potions or Aspect Gems.
Cursed Child
Mythic 2% · hybrid
Cursed Speech kit with a good bar and slow clear times.
Archer
Legendary · ranged
Ranged beginner class; outclassed by Witch Gunner in the same rarity band.
Kage
Legendary · physical
The Shadow Step teleport looks illegal in showcases and is still C for PvE.
D Tier
Name
Role
Why
Shinobi
Legendary · mobility melee
Flash Rend, Kurogiri, Guillotine Drop, Oni Rend — the bar people keep it for; clear time is why it is D.
Ronin
Rare 50% · tutorial class
Ichimonji, Setting Horizon, Swallow Cut, Falling Blossom. Finishes Bandit's Den, not Underworld Gate.
Greatsword
Rare 50% · physical
Frontline filler; build Strength only until anything better drops.
Assassin
Epic 20% · burst
Epic rarity, Rare-class results. Replace on the first useful roll.
Bowman
Rare 50% · ranged
Temporary ranged option for the first extract loop.
Flame Bastion
Epic 20% · defensive
Defensive niche kit nobody keeps past the early dungeons.
