Remnant 2: 7 Best Classes For Solo Players (2024)

In Remnant 2, Archetypes serve the same purpose as classes do in other games. These Archetypes help shape your character and can be chosen based on how you prefer to play and what suits your preferences. Whether you're playing on your own or with friends online, there might be times when you're flying solo and don't have a companion, or perhaps you simply want to take on the game independently.

If you decide to embark on a solo adventure, it's crucial to select the Archetype that will carry you effectively throughout the game. However, keep in mind that the game provides the flexibility to use two Archetypes simultaneously, allowing you to switch between them during your gameplay.

Updated on May 2, 2024, by Mohamed El Ouardighi: With the release of a new Remnant 2 DLC, the Forgotten Kingdom, comes a powerful new Archetype. This time, the Invoker joins the ranks of available archetypes, offering a solid option for solo players.

Medic

Although the Medic Archetype might not initially seem like the best choice for a solo adventure, its capabilities are quite compelling. Despite being labeled as a supportive class that primarily emphasizes healing and grants buffs to allies, it's essential to note that these advantages extend to benefit you as well. This means you can embark on your journey independently, without requiring assistance.

While offensive options may not be its primary focus, the Medic remains dependable through its potent healing abilities and the ability to bolster oneself during combat.

Summoner

Considering the Summoner as one of your Archetype choices can be quite beneficial, and here's why. This particular Archetype centers around summoning Root Minions that offer both offensive and defensive assistance in combat. Since you'll be playing the game on your own and facing numerous enemies, having extra support can prove incredibly valuable.

However, it's important to note that summoning these minions comes at a price; your health. This is why it's advisable to prioritize the Vigor Trait early on. This investment will enhance your maximum health and you will not have to pick between summoning or conserving your health. Additionally, you should consider acquiring the Amber Moonstone, as it will boost your defenses when your health is at a lower level.

Hunter

The Hunter Archetype specializes in long-distance combat, and if you're playing solo, it's wise to conserve your Relics, especially since the game begins with just three. Its advantages are centered around improving ranged damage, exploiting weak spots, and boosting reload speed.

Opting for this Archetype gives you access to the Hunter's Mark skill, which marks all nearby enemies. This approach lets you navigate through encounters strategically, without needing to get up close, and all marked enemies also become more susceptible to increased damage.

With those skills at your disposal, you won't have to worry about getting ambushed by enemies and you will easily clear entire dungeons with minimal need for healing and no major challenges.

Invoker

The Invoker Archetype is the latest addition introduced with the Forgotten Kingdom DLC, and this class focuses on enhancing your skills. Its Prime Perk, Visionary, grants you a double charge of any skill across all archetypes, allowing you to use powerful skills more than the usual in succession.

The majority of the Invoker's perks revolve around skill potency and cooldown reduction. Its skills primarily consist of area-of-effect attacks that target multiple enemies simultaneously. However, one notable skill, Way of Meidra, allows you to heal yourself and any allies nearby, making it a valuable secondary option for healing in case you run out of Relic recharges.

Ritualist

The Ritualist Archetype is an addition to Remnant 2, introduced with the Awakened King DLC, and it's a strong one. Specializing in inflicting status effects on enemies, the Ritualist employs a strategic approach where the status effects take center stage, allowing you to conserve ammo and let the effects weaken your foes.

What sets the Ritualist apart is its Prime Perk Vile, enabling affected enemies to spread the status effect to those nearby. This means you can focus on applying the effect to a single enemy, whether it's setting them on fire or causing them to bleed, and witness the ripple effect as others suffer the consequences.

The majority of Ritualist skills revolve around area-of-effect attacks, delivering damage while simultaneously applying the status effect.

Engineer

The Engineer specializes in wielding powerful heavy weaponry, which can be deployed in turret mode. Although these turrets are stationary and can't move, they offer valuable coverage, particularly when dealing with numerous adversaries; which is something you'll frequently encounter while playing Remnant 2.

Two more reasons why the Engineer stands out as a strong choice are the standout Prime Perk called High Tech allows you to enhance your weapons by overclocking them. This results in infinite ammo and a damage boost that can be a life savior when running low on ammunition while facing off against enemies.

Secondly, the Fortify Trait augments your armor effectiveness, thereby increasing your defensive capabilities. This Archetype boasts versatility in both offensive and defensive aspects, making it a well-rounded option for a solo journey in Remnant 2.

Handler

The Handler is arguably the best Archetype for a solo run in Remnant 2 simply because of its loyal dog companion. Dogs aren't just remarkable companions in real life; they also excel as allies in video games.

This Archetype revolves around your trusty dog companion and offers three distinct modes for commanding its actions. You can direct it to stay close by your side, have it engage enemies at a specific location, or allow it to enter a boosted state to increase its effectiveness.

What's more, this loyal dog possesses a truly standout ability: it can actually revive you, provided you have a charge from your Relic. This skill is undeniably its strongest suit.

Imagine being in the midst of a solo run, down to your final chance in a boss fight, and then you get down. The resulting frustration can be immense, but there's no need for such worry with the Handler, as your faithful companion will bring you back to life.

This aspect eliminates the need for an additional player to intervene and you can easily complete a solo playthrough of Remnant 2 using only the Handler.
