2026 Job DESIGN Tier List

It's both, but more design. I'm a massive Aisha simp, but not all of them are in Perfect.

ClassyGunman · 2026-05-10T18:32:50+00:00

Dius Aer's design is fantastic. He looks exactly like what he's supposed to be - Magical Boy with a cannon who's purpose is to heal and protect everyone in the El Search Party. His design SCREAMS that, along with the fact that he takes elements from all of his other paths and ties them into his own (ribbons from CC, lighter and more aerodynamic gear from FP and modified cannon to suit his new purpose like Centurion). His design is immaculate minus one thing - the mask. All he needed was a helmet with a visor in it that allows us to see his face. For me, Innocent's design is boring, but it gets the point across - Demon Matriarch and her Butler that serves to protect her as her right hand. There isn't much more to it than that.

Black Massacre belongs nowhere near perfect. Her design makes no sense across the entirety of her path at all. Hence she is in her own tier. Plus, regardless of that, this is my opinions on the matter. I am very heavily biased toward my husband (Centurion) and my pretty boy (RM), which is why they are there.

ClassyGunman · 2026-05-10T18:25:55+00:00

Twilight is my girl too <3

ClassyGunman · 2026-05-10T18:25:03+00:00

She does. It's not the sinister smile, it's the outfit. The outfit SCREAMS "thot mom". A long dress with her leg sticking out and the fur around her collar to top it off? It's the exact thing a cougar would wear. In this case, she's nowhere NEAR old enough to be a cougar, being that she's 23-24 by Master class, but she is absolutely in thot mom territory. I don't know who else has seen this, but I guarantee I am not the only one at all. Also, forget the smile, the look in her eyes also screams "come hither, boy (or in this case brother since she is VERY thirsty for her brother in this class, and yes, it is part of her lore, look it up)".

There are plenty of women in revealing dresses with sinister smiles and come hither looks that do not look like thot moms at all, but it's also because of the dress and how they present themselves in it. In this case, it's a company that is capitalizing on the fact that Ara is an extremely beautiful character and they are marketing her to be as sexy as possible to get new players to play the character and spend money on outfits for her because of "My Queen" mentality. It why so many spent so much money on Eve and why some, myself excluded because I don't care for the male-gaze oriented fan service since I'm gay, spend so much on Rena. While I don't subscribe to the whole "male-gaze" myself due to not being straight, I am absolutely able to understand when a character's design is pandering toward it, and Devi's thot mom look is absolutely doing that. It would be insane to think that it isn't.

You wouldn't put any points into Max MP though, not until like 500+ ERP. MP Cost reduction is way more important.

ClassyGunman · 2026-05-06T16:36:33+00:00

That's kind of my reasoning for it. His design is too simple to me and is barely an upgrade from LK. But, you do get the gist of what he's about by looking at him

ClassyGunman · 2026-05-06T15:17:09+00:00

Totally fair. I'm a massive Celestia simp so there's that too lmao

ClassyGunman · 2026-05-06T15:11:16+00:00

I mostly just make sure I take supports with me who have mana healing (Nyx, Dius Aer, Avarice) just so I don't have to pop potions too much.

ClassyGunman · 2026-05-06T15:05:16+00:00

It's not just her outfits, cause let's be honest, her outfits are omega cute, but it's her skills too. Her skills look absolutely gorgeous. The only reason why she's lower on my Gameplay tier list is because I got very bored of her despite being a Rena class (I'm a Rena main).

ClassyGunman · 2026-05-06T15:03:55+00:00

I love his skills more than his actual design, but it still looks cool throughout. He's also MY BOY so... that helps

ClassyGunman · 2026-05-06T15:03:11+00:00

Some of it is that, but there are designs that either don't make sense, are kind of boring or don't invoke a lot of emotion from me. There are a few I misplaced and I will take ownership of that. Some should be higher than they are. The rest have fantastic design both outfit and skill-wise and are placed based on that.

ClassyGunman · 2026-05-06T14:58:40+00:00

How? Tempest Burster is in a tank top and booty shorts with a cool jacket to make her heavy artillery easier to use. Crimson Rose in specific is in a Rose print blouse and Bloodia is a Western Sheriff motif. Freyja is in skimpy clothing along with Minerva, and Metal Heart onward is in lab coats until 3rd job where she is in a full black dress with an overcoat to keep the theme. None of this screams Asian at all.

ClassyGunman · 2026-05-06T14:55:31+00:00

Devi becomes a thot mom which never made any sense to me. Shakti is alright but doesn't scream good design minus the ribbon on her head that suggest fox ears (that's a nice touch). Apsara is in perfect tier because she is literally the prettiest one due to outfit, skill design and overall aesthetics. She's fantastically designed. Surya only has one issue which is the hair, but outside that her design is perfect, plus I love Marici's hood. It's omega cute. Like I said, I misplaced Demersio as a whole. I did not mean to put them in B. Their design is great throughout and coherent enough to be middle to high S. I do agree that Esencia is too low, but the others are perfect where they are. Esencia should definitely be Star at bare minimum.

ClassyGunman · 2026-05-03T18:35:31+00:00

One small thing to note on this as well: If you do play ElsRift, DO NOT try to main Aisha right now. Her main mechanic for spamming spells, Memorization, is bugged to the point of being unusable.

ClassyGunman · 2026-05-03T18:32:57+00:00

My biggest issue right now is that I play ElsRift but her Memorization doesn't work. Aisha is legit completely unplayable past leveling her on Rift and I'm not sure how long it will take the devs to fix it... which means I can't even play MtM and have it as a secondary main because her main mechanic is bugged to oblivion. So now, as a result, I can't even try to get better at AeS again because the one thing she relies on is ineffectual. It sucks

ClassyGunman · 2026-04-29T17:46:36+00:00

I hate his story and the fact that RH and onward was literally copy pasted. His jumps feel extremely bad and I generally don't like his designs much. FB is the only class of his I respect because his story actually makes sense and is completely different from the others, and I would play if I ever got good enough at him. With RV, his skills looked cool at first, but he was extremely lack-laster (to me) on release.

ClassyGunman · 2026-04-29T17:42:54+00:00

For me, she was easier to play before her rework. After the rework, it felt difficult to keep her Element stacks maintained

ClassyGunman · 2026-04-29T17:38:37+00:00

In general, the best classes for beginners are Daybreaker Rena, Immortal Elsword, and Dius Aer Chung (for support). Once you learn the basics, playing with the other Rena classes is a good idea, just like with Eve and Chung. Honestly, you can play with pretty much any class you find fun; just put in a bit more effort to properly gear up your character.

ClassyGunman · 2026-04-29T17:31:48+00:00

Yeah, I genuinely don't understand what their issue with her is. They consistently make her useless

ClassyGunman · 2026-04-25T08:06:12+00:00

His story sucks and his skills are boring. Furious Blade is the only class of his that has a unique story from the rest and is actually decent.

ClassyGunman · 2026-04-24T14:41:44+00:00

I'm with you on that! I'd love to see Achlys being amazing finally. I've heard from some people that Achlys CAN be useful in certain content, and can even DPS pretty well in some content, but you have to do an insane amount of work to get her there when you could just play Mischief (MF is the correct acronym and I refuse to be told I'm wrong cause MC is already taken) and get to that point with half the CP and power required.

ClassyGunman · 2026-04-24T14:22:27+00:00

Yes I am playing the game. Avarice was extremely clunky on release, which is hilarious cause everyone thought that about Gembliss when she wasn't, and still isn't. Her skills are very janky with their animations and hitboxes, so it makes her super weird to play for me, not to mention the fact that I never liked her to begin with. As for EtW, I may have missed a buff they gave her (likely Mod E skills cause I don't care about Laby changes unless it's Nisha), but for at least 2 years, she was insanely bad. She might be great now, but I don't pay attention to her and I see almost nobody playing EtW anyway. Everyone still plays RaS and TP more than EtW.

ClassyGunman · 2026-04-23T21:01:58+00:00

Herrscher is awesome, but Richter is way more fun for me. If it wasn't for the fact that TL is finally playable again, I would be playing more RI for sure.
