Summary
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandshas shown the gaming community that there’s more to the shooter looter genre than only spraying and praying. ThisBorderlandsspin-off has reintroduced the shooter looter genre by including unique gameplay features and zany fantasy themes that, in some ways, make it more fun to play than previousBorderlandsgames, thanks in part topowerful spells that can melt bosses.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandshas also introduced several new classes that have proven powerful, each in its own way. For example, the Spellshot is a unique gunslinging mage that can wield two spells simultaneously, or the life-leeching Graveborn and its hellish companion. However, not all perform well during solo play, so players who want to experience the Wonderlands on their own should know which class will get them to the end.
Updated on July 06, 2025, by Stephen LaGioia:Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands blends fantasy elements and satire with the classic Borderlands formula, in such a way that the game remains distinct years after launch. Given itsDungeon & Dragons theme,it naturally stresses various diverse classes (as well as class combos) and customizations.These range from the ice-cold Brr-Zerker to a Ranger with a mushroom as a pet.
And now, with the added Shaman-esqueBlightcaller, players have another viable choice. So we’ve decided to update thisTiny Tina’s Wonderlands best classtier list. We’ll go over some of the more notable Passive Skills for each class and touch on a few great class combos. With the game’s robustChaotic Great Edition on sale via Steam, there’s no better time to dive into the action!
7Graveborn - The Life Leech
Notable Graveborn Passive Skills:
Undoubtedly, the least solo-friendly class inTiny Tina’s Wonderlandsis the Graveborn since both of its Action Skills (Reaper of Bones and Dire Sacrifice) use the player’s HP to cause damage to enemies. For example,Reaper of Bonesincreases HP steal and magic damage while draining a player’s health bar. As players can imagine, that can lead to unavoidable death, especially if the player is surrounded by enemies and doesn’t have access to an HP potion.
But, of course, that doesn’t mean a player can’t use the Graveborn class to solo the entire campaign, since this class hasone skill (Dread Covenant)that redirects damage to their Demi-Lich companion. Fortunately, players cancombine this class with another classto increase its survivability, but overall this class isn’t the best suited for a solo playthrough.
Graveborn can be even more useful for soloandteam players with theBrr-Zerker combo.This is because Graveborn players typically find themselves in harm’s way more often, and the Frost moves of the Zerker can help players escape by slowing or freezing them.
6Clawbringer - The Wyvern Wrangler
Notable Clawbringer Passive Skills:
Most players assume that the Clawbringer is one of the weakest classes since its companion often dies and has limited damage potential. However, this class can be relatively useful for solo players since it has ample skills that increase Ward’s capacity by quite a lot. Moreover, theTier 2 skill “Rebuke"boosts Damage Reduction plus players gain a chance to reflect damage to enemies.
As with the Brr-Zerker, the Clawbringer lacks damage-based skills, so players should use theSpellshot or Gravebornasa secondary class. If players decide to use either of these as a secondary class, they’ll be able to usetwo companions at the same time,which increases damage output.
5Stabbomancer - The Critical Hit Specialist
Notable Stabbomancer Passive Skills:
Even though theStabbomancer stresses stealthand has the best gun damage and status effect skills inWonderlands, it’s not the best class for solo gameplay since it lacks skills that add to survivability. But, what makes the Stabbomancer better than the Graveborn (in terms of solo players) is itsAction Skill “From the Shadow,“which turns a playerinvisiblefor a short amount of time.
Also, that Action Skill has a low cooldown (36 seconds) which means players can use it to “poke” a boss from the shadows without risking their life. But, as previously mentioned, the Stabbomancer has no skills that can help it survive a solo playthrough, so players will need to use another beefy class to give it more survivability.
Combo withSpellshotfor a powerful blend of criticals, spells, and elementals that will tear down foes fairly quickly from a distance.
4Brr-Zerker - The Enraged Berserker
Notable Brr-Zerker Passive Skills:
Although the Brr-Zerker class is mostly aimed towardmeleegameplay (which sadly isn’t as powerful as it should be), the Brr-Zerker class also has plenty of skills that’llboost a player’s HP and HP regeneration.For example, theBrr-Zerker’s Tier 1 Skill"Unyielding” increases Health regeneration, and the effect is doubled if the player is Enraged.
ItsTier 4 Skill “Ancient Fury"increases the player’s Maximum Health, which means players will be a lot harder to kill. But, with all these survival skills, the Brr-Zerker lacks decent damage output, so players should combine it with a damage-based class.
3Spellshot - The Dual-Wielding Wizard
Notable Spellshot Passive Skills:
The Spellshot class is perhaps the most distinctive class in the entireBorderlandsfranchise as it focuses heavily on spells and not guns or melee weapons. Moreover, the Spellshot has lots of skills that players can use to take down elite enemies in a matter of seconds, like theHigh Thread Count skillthat increases Spellweaving Stacks.
But, the reason why the Spellshot is a good solo is itsAction Skill “Polymorph,“since it transforms an enemy into a Skeep for a few seconds. And while the enemy is transformed, they’ll not be able to attack and take increased damage from all sources. And if the player uses this Action Skill on aboss like Bansheeor LeChance, they’ll instantly cast a free Spell and gain two stacks of Spellweaving.
As this class comes with a tougher learning curve overall, it’s a good idea to pair Spellshot withSore Warden,as the Mushroom avatar can take some of the heat off while tinkering with various spells and the more involved skills given. Of course, this applies toClawbringeras well, though the mushroom companion is a bit better at drawing aggro.
2Spore Warden - The Mushroom Master
Notable Spore Warden Passive Skills:
The Spore Warden is among the best solo classes inTiny Tina’s Wonderlandssince its companion targets nearby enemies and dealsPoison Elemental Damage. But, more than that, players can invest a skill point into the"Medicinal Mushroom” skill,which allows the mushroom companion to revive the player.
Furthermore, the player’s mushroom companion"Spore Cloud” (Tier 2 skill)taunts enemies and leaves a Poison Cloud that deals damage over time. These two skills will help players survive throughout the entire campaign, especially if they combine the Spore Warden with the Graveborn class since they have useful skills that increase companion survivability.
The Spore Wardenmakes a nice class combowith the Graveborn,as they are both stout classes with similar perks and allow companions to unload tons of damage.
1Blightcaller - The Elemental Shaman
Notable Blightcaller Passive Skills:
Elemental damage has been a key aspect of theBorderlandsgame series, and players who know how to use them effectively can mow through any enemy or boss. That’s why thismost recently addedclass takes the cake as Tiny Tina’s best class, since it can synergize with all the different Elemental types. Furthermore, itsAction Skill “Bog Totem"summons a Totem companion that releases elemental spirits based on the player’s current weapon type.
TheVirulencePassive Skill increases Status Effect application and duration by quite a bit, making every bullet cause massive Elemental Damage. Another reason the Blightcaller isWonderland’sbest classis itsTier 6 Passive Skill, “Spirit Swarm”.
It creates a Spirit Swarm companion (similar to the Pixie companion) that seeks out enemy units and deals Elemental damage. Players will breeze through all the current content with so many skills that hugely buff Elemental damage (unless Gearbox releases more challenging events).
