Hunters offers every player various possibilities to showcase their in-game abilities. A beginner player might accept whatever they first get to go through the dungeons, but a true pro will make use of the best meta builds in the game. Here’s the best Hunters builds tier list.

Hunters Meta Builds Tier List

We’ve taken all of the builds in Hunters and ranked them from S-Tier to C-tier based on their stats and efficiency. S-Tier builds are the best in-game, those which almost guarantee a win in any dungeon. A-Tier builds are also very good, but have certain flaws because of which they cannot be described as OP. B-Tier builds can be used by more experienced players to their advantage, but aren’t as good as some others in-game. C-Tier builds are, in this case, essentially un🔥usable. 

Ultimately, it’s up to you to choose what aligns with your gameplay style – however, this is what we found to work the best. If you’re looking for an additional boost, take a look at our Hunters codes list.

S-Tier Hunters Builds

Currently, staff builds are without a doubt the best in-game. Obviously, an Epic staff might be weaker in damage than a Mythic dagger, but ultimately the staff wins over because of the skills that accompany it. It’s a must to use the Fireball skill with your staff, since it deals long-range damage. A great perk as well is the Heal skill which, you guessed it, heals you at ꦺany time. 

These two combined with a staff ranked Epic or higher are the OP build in-game as of right now. For this to work, of course, you need to invest your points in the Intellect stat. For more info on the stats, check out our Hunters stats builds guide.

A-Tier Hunters Builds

Dagger builds are the only ones in-game where you can have two weapons at the same time, meaning you can combine various daggers – however, there’s a dual-wielding dagger coming soon. If your thing is to go head-first in fights, the dagger is a great choice for you. Combine it with a maxed Agility stat and you’re good to go. Keep in mind that the dagger is significantly weaker if you don’t use its respective skills, Execution and Dagger Stab (we have a slight preference for the latter). Our Hunters skills tier list gives a great insight on all s🐟kills available in-game.

B-Tier Hunters Builds

Sword builds are, in a way, very basic. You have a sword, you slash enemies with it, and that’s about it. Make the best use of the Barrage skill and you’ll have a very decent weapon to make your way through the dungeons. If you’re into more close-range battles, then you’ll like the Sword Thrust skill – but if you’re into that, just switch to daggers. Obviously, both this one and the Greatsword builds are unusable if you don’t invest points in the Strength skill.

Greatsword builds are on the very edge between B-Tier and C-Tier. The only thing keeping them from the lowest tier is their damage dealing. However, it takes quite some time to get to the damage-dealing part, since a build with this weapon is crazy slow. Its Horizontal and Vertical Slash skills are decent, but in no way faster. If you have the patience for this kind of build, then go for it – but we don’t recommend it. There’s way better weapons in-game, and our Hunters weapons tier list showcases them all.

C-Tier Hunters Builds

Hybrid builds just don’t work in this game. Considering the fact that both staff and swords are dual-wielding weapons, it’s impossible to combine weapons. It also makes no sense having skills that don’t work with your weapon of choice. That’s why you shouldn’t invest Ability points in multiple stats, but rather choose one that works best for you and max it out (with occasional points in Vitality). It’s better to reset your stats with in-game money if you change your mind than investing i🅺n everything a little and then struggle with mediocre performance from all weapons.

That’s all of the builds in Hunters ranked. Looking for more tips on the game?
