Gearbox‘s latest chaotic looter shooter lets you mix and match character classes for deep build customization. With Graveborn necromancers, Clawbringer paladins, Brr-zerker barbarians, and more, there‘s no shortage of unique playstyles.
But what happens when you combine classes together into epic multiclass heroes?
In this guide, we‘ll cover the most powerful class pairings for different preferred playstyles and explain what makes them so effective based on endgame performance. Whether you want the highest spell damage possible or the most durable melee tank, you‘ll find a killer class combo here to match your Fatemaker dreams.
Rating Criteria for Best Class Combos
To judge the highest tier combos, we used criteria like:
- Damage Ceiling: How much DPS can this build enable at its max potential? Can it erase bosses in seconds?
- Survivability: Does the combo let you face-tank hits or avoid taking damage altogether?
- Gear Dependence: Do you need ultra-rare drops to make it work or is power more innate to the skills?
- Resource Generation: Is ward/health/ammo regen strong or do you run empty quickly?
- Ease of Play: Are long rotations required or is the gameplay smooth and intuitive?
Using these criteria on endgame class pairings, we‘ve highlighted the strongest for varied playstyles below.
Best Caster Class Combos
These spell-focused combos maximize damage through stacking magical effects and shared damage buffs.
1. Spellshot + Graveborn – S+ Tier Magic Damage
| Graveborn Buffs | Spellshot Uniques | Shared Synergies |
|---|---|---|
| Dark Magic damage | Multiple spells per turn | Spellweaving boosts |
| Spell crit chance | Bonus elemental damage | Companion assistance |
| Health/Ward steal | "Polyaimorph" enemy transform | High skill ceilings |
This combo leverages two of the most potent spell-caster classes in the game. Individually, Graveborn and Spellshot boast incredible damage potential through dark magics and "spellweaving" extra casts in between weapon attacks respectively.
But the real power comes from mixing both skill sets together. This enables insane magical feats like:
- Casting 3-4 devastating spells in a single turn
- Transforming bosses into weak forms using "Polymorph"
- Siphoning massive health/ward from enemies to sustain your assault
- Building full stacks of Spellweaving to insta-delete fights
Graveborn also shares all its dark damage buffs/debuffs with Spellshot spells. So each cast hits harder, lands more crits, and steals more health than normal. With the Demi-Lich providing ranged assistance as well, you become an agent of unlimited magical destruction.
This combo lacks defense, so it may struggle against certain encounters that demand mobility/durability (like dry‘l). However, by erasing threats before they can attack, its unparalleled offense reigns supreme overall.
For players who enjoy pushing caster damage to the limits through chaining potent spell effects, no pairing beats Spellshot + Graveborn‘s magical prowess. You rain elemental chaos nonstop while transforming dangerous foes into sheep waiting for slaughter.
Verdict: S+ Tier for top-end magic damage. The glass cannon combo to rule them all.
2. Spellshot + Clawbringer – A Tier Extreme Caster Flexibility
| Clawbringer Buffs | Spellshot Uniques | Shared Synergies |
|---|---|---|
| Fire/Lightning Auras | Multi-Spell Turns | Hammer spellweaving |
| Melee Damage | Bonus Element Damage | Companion skills/auras |
| Target Debuffs | Transform Enemies | Well-rounded versatility |
This unexpected pairing fuses advanced magic with fiery hammer strikes and storm calls from above. While the Clawbringer lacks direct spell boosts, its auras and debuffs amplify the devastation of Spellshot‘s magics indirectly.
You retain all the elite magic flexibility of Spellshot – flinging multiple elements per turn that spellweave into further blows. Only now these casts detonate with even more fury thanks to Clawbringer‘s supplements like:
- Aura of Flames: +35% fire damage after clearing adds
- Storm Smite: Next attack scores chain lightning
- Urgent Thunder: On spell cast gain stacks for +lightning/fire damage
- Wyvern Lightning Barrage: Trigger spellweave opportunities
Against tougher foes the Clawbringer themselves can erupt in melee mayhem with giant magical hammer blows. Capable of tanking some hits or avoiding damage altogether thanks to Urgent Thunder‘s movement buff. This grants a lightweight caster much needed defense when threats close in.
In all, this combo brings extreme flexibility between ranged devastation and up-close hammer-time. Allowing you to unleash hell however an engagement demands – turn bosses into sheep then smite with storm hammer blows!
Verdict: A Tier for advancing the limits of extreme caster flexibility/survivability thanks to Clawbringer supplements.
Best Melee Class Combos
These vicious pairings fully embrace close-quarters carnage to unleash your inner barbarian might against all foes great and small.
1. Stabbomancer + Brr-Zerker – S Tier: Rapid Assassin Strikes
| Stabbomancer Traits | Brr-Zerker Buffs | Shared Synergies |
|---|---|---|
| Ghost Blade throw/teleport | Frost damage vs Health | High Crit chance for both |
| Increased Crit Chance | Damage resistance | Bonus Frost weapon damage |
| Exploit Enemy Weaknesses | Melee lifesteal | Extreme speed/bonuses |
Do you crave slicing apart foes in a blur of steel faster than they can react? This Stabbomancer and Brr-zerker combo defines high-octane melee devastation.
On Stabbomancer you gain a thrown spectral Blade to teleport between enemies with exactly 30% crit chance to exploit their weaknesses. This pairs brutally with Brr-zerker‘s Frost weapon damage – as you constantly heal while teleporting around the battlefield shattering frozen enemies!
Bonuses like increased movement/attack speed, damage the longer you fire, and even Frost chance on crits takes this excessive carnage into overdrive. Allowing extremely rapid crit chains that cheese bosses before adds can even touch you.
While squishier than paladin builds, the extreme aggression buffed further by Brr-zerker‘s frost bonuses make you an unstoppable force whirling between hordes. Capable of erasing badass enemies in seconds during burst windows.
For those who enjoy mastering high APM melee crit builds, no combo does assassin gameplay better than this frost-fueled barrage.
Verdict: S Tier rapid strikes from a lethal frost assassin.
2. Clawbringer + Graveborn – A+ Tier: Battlemage Survivalist
| Clawbringer Traits | Graveborn Buffs | Shared Synergies |
|---|---|---|
| Lightning/Fire Auras | Improved Dark Magic | Boosted elemental damage |
| High Melee Damage | Health Steal | Demi-Lich assistance |
| Wyvern Companion | Debuffs enemies | Versatile offense/defense |
This unexpected melee-mage combo brings huge AoE elemental devastation fueled further with dark magics that steal health for sustain. Creating a versatile battlemage perfectly suited for the frontlines.
The Clawbringer forms your vanguard tank – drawing aggression with a giant magical hammer that erupts with fiery blows. Buffed further by passives like bonus fire damage on clearing adds or landing weapon crit hits.
This high-risk offense gains security from the Graveborn though. You gain improved dark spells that debuff enemies and steal large chunks of health/ward on every cast to keep you going strong. And the Demi-Lich makes short work of distracted backliners.
Together they enable an explosive battlemage experience – smashing apart hordes with lightning hammers while blasting any stragglers with dark magic missiles. The damage stacks extremely high given enough targets, creating excellent boss and mob clearing builds alike.
For any who prefer self-sufficient elemental knights, no combo enables quite the same paladin-necromancer fantasy.
Verdict: A+ rating for weapon-wielding dark sorcerers who can still brawl on the frontlines.
Best Pet Class Combos
These combinations maximize companion ally damage for doubling your overall party output.
1. Graveborn + Stabbomancer – S Tier: Ranged Death Squads
| Graveborn Buffs | Stabbomancer Perks | Shared Synergies |
|---|---|---|
| Dark Magic damage | Increased Crit Chance | Exploit Enemy Weaknesses |
| Improved Companion damage | Bonus Companion Crit Chance | Group Ranged Barrages |
| Demi-Lich: Highest Spell DPS | Ghost Blade teleportation/DPS | Synchronized Target Focus |
This pairing emphasizes ranged strikes and spell bombardment by juicing both your and your companion‘s damage to obscene degrees.
As a Graveborn you gain access to the Demi-Lich – the single most powerful spell damage companion. Their innate crit chance and ability damage can erase Elite enemies rapidly even while solo.
But then the Stabbomancer support sends these pets into overdrive. You gain skill buffs that share +30% critical hit chance WITH your demon buddy while exploiting enemy weaknesses they strike. How does +80% damage sound?
Furthermore, you can teleport around the battlefield with ethereal daggers to synchronize multi-angled assaults. As you shred with dark magic, your lich bombsards from afar and ghost blade rips into their backline.
The combined ranged barrages rapidly overload enemy defenses, bringing excellent crowd control and boss DPS all at once. Add in Graveborn buffs that further boost companion damage and none can stand this death squad onslaught for long.
For those who enjoy micromanaging lethal pet armies, no combo competes with the Graveborn and Stabbomancer‘s synchronized shades.
Verdict: S Tier DPS from combined ranged death squad strikes
2. Spore Warden + Clawbringer – A Tier Offensive Overloads
| Spore Warden Buffs | Clawbringer Bonuses | Shared Synergies |
|---|---|---|
| Mushroom companion | Wyvern ally | Maximum pet damage potential |
| Bonus Companion Damage/Crit | High melee damage | Elemental debuffs |
| Caustic elemental arrows | Fire/Lightning Auras | Group focus firing |
This unexpected nature/vengeance pairing overwhelms enemies with sheer offensive brute force both from your Fatemaker and TWO potent companions.
The Spore Warden supplies a lethal Mushroom ally spewing toxic fungal clouds that debilitate targets. You surge their strikes further with bow attacks inflicting caustic and frost elemental decays.
Yet extra chaos comes from the Clawbringer‘s own Wyvern entering the fray – barraging enemies with incinerating breath blasts that trigger combos with every spell cast.
And YOUR primary attacks leverage a giant magical hammer that unleashes thunderous lightning/fire elemental eruptions once spellweaving thresholds charge. Enemies face endless overload from all angles.
In total this build brings three hard-hitting sources of elemental and weapon damages bolstering each other. Allowing extremely aggressive play that swiftly eradicates whole battle arenas – whether solo or in co-op groups.
For those who enjoy relentlessly crushing enemies between hammers, Dragon‘s Breath, and toxic mushrooms alike, no combo brings the pain quite like Spore/Clawbringer OVERKILL.
Verdict: A Tier Overkill from combined mushroom, wyvern, and hammer group strikes.
