RELATED: Tactics Ogre: Reborn- Most Important Choices In The Story
Tactics Ogre: Reborn features tons and tons of customization and lets players essentially mold their entire army to their choosing. There’s a lot of weapons, skills and most importantly classes. Every class has its unique perks and drawbacks, but some classes are definitely optimal and every army should feature them, this list goes over the best classes.
9 Beast Tamer
The Beast Tamer class isn’t exceptional in combat, nor is it ultra tanky or anything but it’s special. The beast tamer class lets player recruit dragons, griffons and pretty much every other beast class out there. Moreover, Beast Tamers can empower these beasts as well making them even stronger. This class also has a variety of weapon options available so its no slouch when it comes to combat either!
8 Witch/Warlock
Witches are essentially sorcerers, but even better in every way possible. They have insane offensive stats, and access to a variety of spells, far beyond what ordinary sorcerers can conjure up. Players don’t have access to many unique characters in this class until later in the game, so it is also recommended to try and recruit any that appear in encounters. Additionally, this class can recruit golems which is a nice addition.
7 Dragoon
This is another niche class; dragoons have access to the beast-slayer and dragon-slayer skills which makes them amazing at fighting these units. Those skills destroy the absolutely monstrous health bars these units possess. Dragoons also boast solid stats across the board and are absolutely essential in later levels, their inherent dragons-bane and beast-bane skills are also useful, so should the Dragoon be running short on MP, it can still dish out some notable damage. Dragoons also have the advantage of range as they specialize primarily with spears and crossbows.
6 Knight
The knight is the most reliable and all around solid class in the game. The can use a variety of weapons effectively, have superb defensive stats and can even use light magic, meaning they can heal units as well.

Knights have access to the phalanx and rampart aura skills making them take lesser damage for a few turns and not letting enemies cross by them. This makes them extremely effective at soaking damage and baiting certain difficult units. Knights also unlock a skill later in the game which lets them divert damage from other units to themselves. This, in conjunction with the aforementioned skills makes them really useful. The only drawbacks knights have is that they’re a little slow, maybe.
5 Vartan
This is the class Canopus joins in. It’s an extremely flexible class with really good stats in pretty much every attribute Vartans have high movement, can fly and even recruit fairies. Vartans excel at using axes, bows and hammers and can pretty much do whatever task is assigned to them, from picking off squishes to front-lining or just rushing the boss.
4 Terror Knight
Terror Knights are similar to knights largely, but there’s some key differences that make them better. They have access to fear related skills; lament of the dead and fearful impact. These make them extremely good at making stubborn enemies more manageable, particularly bosses like Hector and Xaebos.
What makes Fearful Impact even better is the access Terror Knights to 2-handed great-swords. Some of these swords have added effects like breach which work really well at weakening enemies.
3 Ranger
This is the class Vyce rocks, a couple of other unique units can access it too. This class is really fast making it super useful. It can also double-attack like ninjas do and has access to dual wielding swords and daggers both. Rangers can also use bows and have a variety of unique skills and spells which makes them extremely good offensive outlives.
2 Rune Fencer
Rune fencers got a massive glow up compared to the previous iteration of this game. They use spears really well, and also have access to crossbows and one-handed swords make them very useful at multiple ranges. What makes them special is their ability to use magic as well. Rune fencers also gain certain passive abilities which lets their melee attacks deal additional elemental damage as well.

They’re extremely good at dealing damage at multiple different ranges, coupled with this is their water traversal and high movement which lets them cross the map with ease.
1 White Knight
White Knights are amazing, possibly the best class in the game. Not only are the only units that can access this class really good anyway; Ozma, Mirdyn Gildas and Raveness, but the class has exceptional stats all around. White knights are everything that’s good about the knight class, but they’re much faster too. Moreover, they have access to a wide variety of supportive white magic, making them even better. There’s just no drawbacks to this.
