The Best RavenQuest Archetype for Beginners
As a beginner, you’ll want to focus on Archetypes that offer high survivability, easy-to-use mechanics, and strong performance in both solo and group play. The following Archetypes provide a solid foundation for new players.
Warfare is one of the best Archetypes for new players, especially those focusing on melee weapon power builds. It provides strong DPS, crowd control, and self-healing through life leech, allowing you to stay alive while dealing heavy damage. Warfare serves as a versatile foundation for any weapon-based build.
Witchcraft excels in ranged spell damage with damage-over-time effects and life-stealing abilities. This makes it easy to sustain yourself during longer battles. The combination of strong offensive spells and self-healing makes Witchcraft an excellent choice for solo PvE and magic-based group content.
Protection might seem like a tank-only Archetype, but it pairs well with almost any other Archetype, adding massive damage mitigation and defensive buffs. Even as a secondary or tertiary Archetype, Protection significantly boosts survivability, making it ideal for both tanking and hybrid builds.
💡 While other Archetypes also offer value, starting with one of these three ensures a smoother learning curve and a stronger foundation as you progress through the game.

Conclusion
While these combinations are the most effective for their respective roles, RavenQuest encourages creativity. Experimenting with different Archetype mixes allows you to find the class that suits your preferred playstyle. Mixing similar types of Archetypes (weapon power vs spell power) will usually yield better results, but hybrid builds can work well depending on the situation.
Don’t be afraid to try out different combinations! Finding the perfect synergy between Archetypes is part of the fun of RavenQuest. What’s your favourite Archetype? Let us know in the comments!
