Destructoid recommends a Cleric, Warrior and Mage as the strongest general-purpose three-character team in Path of Idle: Old Gods Rising. The combination balances healing, durability, crowd control and area damage, making it especially useful while progressing through chapters and facing groups of enemies.

The game has six classes, with teams limited to three members; players can eventually use up to three teams as they advance. The Cleric is valued for healing and resilience, the Warrior for absorbing damage and summoning minions, and the Mage for area-of-effect and elemental abilities; a Mercenary or Hunter can provide more specialised alternatives.
