Master Tactician and Officer stand tall above the others thanks to their overall versatility and extremely good Action Point usage.

The Officer, on the other hand, can bolster their entire team’s Action Points. Overall, they’re key to giving their team more turns, but they rely heavily on the strength of their allies.
A Tier
Warrior, Assassin, Arch-Militant, and Soldier all sit confidently in the A-Tier. They’re all equally good attackers, especially when bolstered by the Officer and Master Tactician units.
Generally speaking, they’re all equally powerful depending on which type of attacker you want.
Warriors are great for melee, Assassins are great at single-target damage, and the Arch-Militant and Soldier are great for ranged attacks.
B Tier
Moving to the B tier, the Operative is a pretty good class during the first two acts. Their Analyze ability is great early on, but it becomes useless later on.
At least by then you can get the Assassin advanced archetype, though!
C Tier
In C Tier we have the Grand Strategist and Vanguard, which are this low mostly due to their situational usefulness.
Grand Strategist’s buffs aren’t particularly useful if you end combat quickly, unless you’re making use of certain builds for Pasqal.
Similarly, the Vanguard’s overall playstyle is finicky as they rely on taunting their enemies. However, they can be useful in protecting Warriors sometimes.
D Tier
Lastly, we have the Bounty Hunter in D Tier for one simple reason: they rely too heavily on buffs from killing enemies. Combat will be over by the time the Bounty Hunter is ready!
