Torchlight Infinite: Class Tier List [Updated March 2024]

Torchlight Infinite has some relatively even classes in my opinion, thanks to all the talents that you can choose from, as well as skills, gear and so on.

But since some are more straightforward to play than others, and they have certain advantages – which is what I am basing my updated tier list on.

So without further ado, let’s check out the best characters in the game – and why I consider them the best. I’ll start by listing them in the table below, but I’ll also go more in-depth – so read to the end!

S Tier

The S tier is the highest possible tier list in Torchlight Infinite, and I am placing two characters here, considering them the best of the best.

Moto

Moto is a typical summoner, and he uses different robots to do his bidding. His followers are indeed very strong, and because they are so good at killing monsters, he can be as protected as possible.

Even though he doesn’t do much per se, his style of play is one of the best for solo play. 

If you want to keep it simple, though, a well-equipped Moto is one of the best DPS characters in Torchlight Infinite. 

Not only that, I consider Moto to be one of the easiest characters to play in the game. You are really able to just summon a lot of minions to your bidding and see your opponents suffer. It is a very rewarding and nice feeling indeed!

Gemma

Gemma is a character who fits the mold of a mage. She is an expert in both fire and frost magic, and when she builds, she will usually focus on one of these. 

She’s not as tough as other characters, but she’s very mobile and does a lot of damage, so she can tear through enemies like crazy.

If you want to go for a mage build and playstyle, well this is the character for you. You will be able to play with the different elements that this game offers.

You will be able to slow down enemies, burn them and damage them over time, cast huge AoE fireballs, and such. A very fun character to play as and very powerful too.

Does a good job in solo plays, but also can be very squishy at times, especially when facing bigger bosses. If you need help with building a great character, check out my previous guide sharing the best Gemma build in Torchlight Infinite.

A Tier

After the S tier comes the A tier. This is one rank lower, but the characters here are pretty good still – and you can get a lot out of them if you build them right.

Carino

Carino is your default character for damage from a distance. He uses bows and guns to do good damage from a long way away. 

He relies heavily on auto-attacks, which also tends to make him an easy-to-play and safe character.

We all know a player that simply never plays melee classes in no matter what type of game it is. If you are one of them, then you will love Carino.

He is quick, agile, and very powerful in damage dealing. The thing about him is that you will need to be constantly active though. Let’s say, very unlike Moto.

With Moto you can just sit back and watch the combat unfold. Whereas with Carino you will be shooting, running, jumping, circling, and all sorts of things.

This is of course very fun, but for some people, it might come as too much work. Still, a very good character to play as and highly recommended.

Rehan

So far in the game, Rehan is the “warrior” class focusing on close combat. He does have a lot of damage-dealing skills that hit hard, which makes him a fantastic DPS character. You can check out my recommended Berserker DPS build here.

The badass quiet type of character is Rehan. Every game has this type of cliche buffed character. You will be getting exactly what you expect of him.

Extremely high damage dealing and having buffs and resistances from taking damage. You will be going head first to every enemy that you see and just spamming buttons.

It is a very simple type of character to play as. Just place your character in the middle of lots of enemies, and just spam the AoE Skills until they die. Simple, but effective.

Erika

Another very active character that keeps players involved in the game. She focuses on attack and movement, dealing plenty of damage and being, overall, very rewarding and fun to play.

Despite all these, she’s not perfect: her AoE skills are not that great, and the fact that you have to keep moving to build up that Stalker meter makes her a bit more difficult to play. But all in all, she remains a great choice.

Iris

Another summoner, but not quite as good as Moto in the previous tier because of her gameplay mechanics. But still, she is extremely strong and can be very rewarding.

The best part about Iris is that you can still build a pretty decent character even with cheaper gear – and this makes her beginner friendly.

Her main strength is the summoning part of the Spirits, with the traits and talents complementing them really well and making them invincible. Great to play overall, especially if you prefer a less active play style.

Rosa

The latest character introduced by the game’s developers, Rosa is a a tanky character that focuses a lot on defense, but thanks to her durability, she can prove to be a very tough nut to track in the game.

It’s not very beginner-friendly, but for the veterans, she not only brings a breath of fresh air to the roster, but also proves to be very rewarding when mastered.

B Tier

The B tier is the lowest in this tier list that I make. These characters are by no means weak, but I think there are better options out there.

If you decide to go for solo and you are a beginner in the TL series, I recommend holding these off until later on.

Thea

She does her job by granting herself blessings, which she then uses to get buffs. She is seen as a powerhouse by many of her players.

You will be dealing with the blessings that she can do. They are simply buffs either minor or major that will define how the battle might unfold.

When it comes to solo play, she can manage well, but not as nearly good enough as the other characters in the higher tiers.

Very good to check out though because she breaks the cycle and gameplay of all the other characters in the game. 

Youga

He helps himself and those around him. Still, his skills don’t always have the right amount of damage scaling built in. 

So, he’s a wonderful asset to a group, he could be a bit slower when he’s on his own. Still, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t check him out.

You will be going on slower and feel as though you are weaker than the other characters. But if he is a very welcome asset when combined with other groups or parties.

If you want to be the big support of your group, Youga is the character to go for.

Bing

While it is satisfying to see all his bombs and projectiles explode, Bing is not my favorite character and I consider him difficult to play and weak when compared to the others.

Also, low-ish damage (which is also delayed), not good in defense… overall, not a top character at the moment.
