Classes represent the basic archetype of your character and how they will operate inside the game. Specializations add deeper depth to your selected archetype and allow you to enjoy different playstyles. Since this selection will have huge ramifications on your entire playthrough, let’s look at all the available classes, along with their respective specializations.

All classes in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Here’s the complete information you’ll need before you jump into Dragon Age: The Veilguard. There are three specific classes: Mage, Rogue, and Warrior. While the three classes act and react differently, their respective specializations will allow for greater customization.

Which is the best class and specialization for Dragon Age: The Veilguard?

Honestly, this entirely depends on how you want to play and enjoy the game. This isn’t a multiplayer experience like Call of Duty Black Ops 6 where you’ll want to exploit the meta. However, here are my top three recommendations.

  • The Death Caller specialization will be my firm favorite because raising the undead to do your bidding is on whole another level.
  • Saboteur might be the hardest Rogue sub-class in my books, but killing enemies with traps is unique.
  • Reaper, because Champion is boring and Slayer is slow.

But in the end, there’s no wrong choice, and just go with how you want to play.
