Remnant II is a game that is designed from the ground up as a multiplayer experience. However, that doesn't mean that playing the game solo isn't viable--it's actually very doable and should pose no issues if you're looking to experience the adventure on your own. Any archetype (class) should be suited for solo play if you're willing to fully embrace its unique skillset, but there's one that stands above the rest for those taking the game on alone. Read on to find out which archetype is best for solo players.

　　Now Playing: Remnant 2 - Handler Archetype Gameplay Reveal Trailer

　　Because the Handler sports this additional companion, it can feel like you have a second player with you. You're able to command the dog to attack certain targets, and you'll be able to use its three unique skills that can provide significant aid in battle. These can either buff your attack damage, provide a defensive bonus, or grant health regeneration. Even better, if you do decide to team up with some other real people, these bonuses will also apply to them.

　　Another benefit of the Handler is its faster movement speed. Early on in its leveling process, you'll earn a 10% movement buff that makes moving around battlefields a bit quicker. Like with your dog's skills, this buff can also apply to any friends you bring along, as long as they're within 10m of you.

　　The Handler's unique archetype trait is Kinship, which increasingly reduces friendly-fire damage as you level up the class. This comes in handy quite a lot, as you'll be shooting the same enemies as your dog and may unintentionally hit it occasionally. Having this friendly-fire damage reduction means that you'll also give and receive less damage from any friends you're playing with if your bullets happen to graze each other.

　　The Handler is our pick for the best class for solo players.Though any secondary archetype will fit the Handler pretty well, a few worth considering include Medic and Summoner. The former allows you to keep yourself healed and buffed even further so as to improve survivability while playing solo. The latter is another pet class, meaning you can have additional creatures summoned to aid you in battle. With all of this additional assistance, handling groups of enemies can be significantly easier.

　　Regardless of what secondary archetype you decide to go with, you can rest assured that the Handler is a solo powerhouse. Besides, it goes without saying that having a pup follow you around for the entire game is quite a treat. And yes, you can pet the dog.
