What Classes Should you have in Solasta?
It's really up to you how you'll build your party. What's important is the right balance between the classes. However, it's always important to take note that the combination of your classes in the party play an important role when dealing with enemies. You should have a hero who's best in Magic attacks (Wizard, Sorcerer, Druid), one in Melee attacks (Fighter, Paladin, Barbarian), one in ranged attacks (Rogue, Ranger), and one in healing or all-around attacks such as the Cleric.
Recommended! - Must Pick Classes in Solasta
Cleric
The Cleric is easily the best supporting class in Solasta. This class can support your party with magic, while also acting as a tank class on the front lines. It's highly effective when messing with enemies as well, making it a master of all trades. A good combination of a team would be a Ranger, Wizard, Paladin, and Cleric.
Sorcerer
Sorcerers are well known for the damage that they can deal, making them a great class to choose if you solely want to bring damaging spells to the enemy. The only cons for this class are its versatility.
Druid
The Druid is very similar to the Cleric class and is known for its capability to do anything almost. The Druid can be considered your go-to class when you need a slot filled. You can primarily use this class for powerful crowd control.
Barbarian
The Barbarian class is the best choice during the early game. Other classes would eventually outshine the Barbarian as you progress. Its main focus is HP, which is good since this class focuses on taking damage rather than avoiding it.
Paladin
The Paladin is the absolute must-pick class if you're looking for a melee type. It can do what the other fighting classes can do but way better. It's one of the tankiest classes and can also deal a ton of damage to enemies with its powerful abilities.

Solasta Party Builds
Basic Party Build
While most Solasta veterans use complex classes in their party build, having a basic party build as a beginner can sometimes grant you more success. If you're a beginner in Solasta: Crown of the Magister, you may want to start out with this kind of build:
Cleric
- Choosing a Cleric class is almost the every move that everyone makes in Solasta: Crown of the Magister. As we mentioned earlier, the Cleric is almost the best at everything. We recommend boosting or prioritizing the Wisdom stat of the Cleric followed by its healing and strength. You'll want the cleric to take the most damage in your party to keep your other classes alive, while also providing healing. Choose the Hill Dwarf as its race.
- The Wizard class has the ability to deal damage to multiple enemies at once. You should prioritize improving the Intelligence stats of the Wizard to get the most out of it. You can choose from a variety of spells to either attack the enemy or support you other classes in combat. Choose the High as the Race of this class.
- The Rogue class is a good choice for this party build because of its potential in terms of sneaking up on enemies and dealing damage without being caught. Make sure to prioritize Dexterity and Charisma for this class.
- Lastly, we have the fighter class. This class has the capability to deal high amounts of damage. Make sure to prioritize the strength stats of this class. This class will be your main attacker in your party, dealing and taking damage for the whole team.
Advanced Party Build
In Solasta: Crown of the Magister, we also have advanced builds suitable for players who have decent time in the game already. For players who want to deal the most damage possible, this is the Party build for you:
Hill-Dwarf Cleric
- Using a Hill-Dwarf Cleric that has chosen the Battle Domain will not only give you a plus 1 in terms of wisdom, but it will also guarantee you multiple powerful combat spells that the Cleric class can use in battle.
Fighter (With Spellblade ability)
- Not only is the Fighter capable of high amounts of damage, but you can also have this class cast spells using the Spellblade ability. This increases the damage that the fighter class can give.
Half-Elf Paladin (Sworn an oath of the Motherland)
- This class build will give your character the opportunity to deal enormous damage using Fire spells. Prioritize Strength and Charisma for this class set up since a Paladin will usually need to hit an enemy first before using a spell.
High-Elf Rogue (Shadowcaster)
- Stealth and sneaky attacks is what the Rogue class is known for. Mix that up with Shadowcaster, and this will give you spells that you can use to boost your abilities like stealth to deal more damage.

To go along with the use of DnD mechanics, it would be nice to see classes and subclasses more closely aligned with the current version of DnD. I only see thief and draconic bloodline from the current subclasses of DnD. I'm super surprised to not see the assassin subclass, or monk and warlock classes, but the full scop of classes and subclasses from DnD would be much more appealing and diverse.

This selection is rather underwhelming.
I understand Human Fighters are required as a safe default choice for those who are new to the genre or prefer to just tank it out than resort to finesse and tactic. But then it should be complimented with at least one class at the other end of the spectrum--one odd or unusual option. Something that is a little more challenging to master.
And it's not like D&D5e doesn't have those options. I've played a Dragonborn Shadow Assassin before, which is ridiculous fun--I highly recommend that everybody, at least once in their life, experience the joy of a shadow step right in the middle of an enemy mob to drop a mine right under their feet. And played an Warforged Artificer, which was challenging yet satisfying. Making a tribe of goblins believe they were haunted by the ghosts of their ancestors using nothing but a "message" spell is as entertaining as it sounds. This game needs at least one such incredibly satisfying brains-over-brawn alternative, to scratch that hobbit itch of any character for whom the front door just isn't an option.
Sure! You can make a game limited to the classes above. Your party encounters a blind slime, who is attracted to your footsteps, takes it head on, and that certainly may turn out to be a challenge in itself--people may die, you could give your tank a hard time, exhaust your spells, and reek all sorts of mayhem and havoc; you might have to retry that encounter couple of times until you eventually barely survive. Is it satisfying though?
Or--given meaningful options--wouldn't we rather teleport past the danger zone using the creature's own shadow, then magically switch places with each companion one after the other to get the entire party across with no attack roll fired. Would we not rather fly across, use acrobatics, throw a damn rock the other way... anything that allows us to "roleplay" our character? All those classes are straight up combat options--this ensemble of classes is missing the odd one out to make things interesting.

Really? You almost couldn't have picked a worse set of classes if you tried.
Unless somebody mentioned it already, your description above for Greenmage and Courtmage are EXACTLY written the same way.
