S-tier masteries in Last Epoch

Although rankings like this are quite personal, we have chosen these three masteries as the best currently available of Last Epoch for several reasons:

• Bladedancer: This mastery leans heavily into the standard Assassin/Ninja archetype and comes with unique skills Dancing Strikes and Lethal Mirage. You also get to use daggers, shurikens, and smoke bombs. Even though this mastery focuses on melee and Physical and Poison damage, it also has access to great defensive mechanisms, like a good HP pool or Dodge and Glancing Blow.
• Druid: Druid can transform and take one of three forms—Werebear, Spriggan, and Swarmblade. When you leave the form, you get increased Health and Mana. Thanks to the versatility of Druid’s skill tree, players have more freedom with their builds.
• Lich: Good damage, good survivability, and some of the strongest skills in Last Epoch make Lich’s S-tier position easily justifiable. This mastery allows you to sacrifice an amount of your health to increase damage, and Lich excels particularly in Necrotic, Poison, and Physical damage types.
