Void Highlord – The Undisputed Strongest Soloing Class in AQW

As a long-time player and fan of Artix Entertainment‘s popular MMORPG AdventureQuest Worlds (AQW), I‘ve tested every top-tier class in the game extensively. And without a doubt, the Void Highlord reigns supreme as the strongest soloing class for tackling bosses.

Criteria for the "Strongest Class"

Before analyzing why Void Highlord earns this title, it‘s important to understand the class ranking criteria used by the AQW community:

• Support: Provides buffs/heals to the team
• Debuffs: Applies weaknesses to enemies
• DPS: Raw damage dealing potential
• Farming: AOE attacks to grind XP quickly
• Solo: Survivability and damage to defeat bosses alone

Classes are then rated on a tier list:

The Void Highlord is placed firmly in S-tier, especially for its unmatched soloing capability.

Void Highlord Skills and Benchmarks

Let‘s analyze the Void Highlord‘s skills and stats to understand why it excels:

Damage Output

The Void Highlord can dish out devastating single-target and AOE damage to quickly takedown bosses. Some key benchmark numbers:

• Skill: Uncreation – Up to ~60k damage per second (DPS)
• Max Damage Combo: 4 -> 5 -> 3 -> 2 -> 4 -> 3 -> 2 -> 3 -> 5 – Over 150k total damage

Self Healing & Sustain

It also has lifesteal abilities that help sustain its health during long boss fights:

• Passive: Void Infusion – Restores 315HP per hit
• Adds up to 1000+ HP restored per second

Mitigation

The VH has abilities that significantly reduce incoming damage taken:

• Skill: Dark Parry – Avoids 65% of enemy damage for a short period

Void Highlord was praised for its versatility, survivability and potential to defeat Ultra Bosses that most classes cannot without a team. Many also use it as their primary farming class due to efficient clearing speed.

Tips to Master the Void Highlord

As someone who has accumulated over 50,000 monster kills using a Void Highlord, here are my tips to maximize this powerful class:

• Use a Lucky enhancement build for most balanced stats
• Stack damage boosting consumables like Power Elixir/Idle Elixir
• Gather mana to 100% before engaging bosses
• Time Dark Parry skill to avoid big nukes
• Weave in auto-attacks between skills to trigger Void Infusion heals

With practice, a Void Highlord gives veterans the tool to push extreme solo challenges and triumph over the toughest foes in AQW. It more than earns its reputation as the undisputed #1 soloing class.
