    There's not really a best archetype, but I'll give you a rundown of how each one functions

    Summoner:
    Summoner passively spawns in puppets that deal ranged damage, saving you the hassle from casting spells (casting spells will help you deal more damage). Summoner has pretty good AoE damage due the number of totems possible and it is excellent for shredding bosses since it specializes in single target damage. The only downside of Summoner is that Haul is kind of bad for movement and Summoner is kind of on the squishy side regarding defense. Another thing worth mentioning is that Summoner CANNOT be paired with Ritualist due to Masks blocking Uproot. Pick Summoner if you wanna sit back and relax and have your puppets do all the work

    Ritualist:
    This playstyle is kind of fun, giving you 3 separate masks to switch between: an Offensive Mask, a Defensive Mask, and a Mobility Mask. Unfortunately this does block your Uproot spell but Mask of Lunatic and Mask of Fanatic are strong abilities that pair extremely well with Acolyte. Unfortunately, Ritualist is extremely weak on its own, so if you want to deal good damage you do need that Acolyte combo.

    Acolyte:
    Acolyte is similar to Fallen (Warrior) in that you sacrifice Health but you can heal it back since your Health is transferred to a Blood Pool. Unlike Mage, Acolyte's Aura heal is a burst heal and it deals additional damage. Acolyte functions best with Mask of Lunatic and Double Totem, allowing you to constantly gain health and whip out high damage. Blood Connection is also a lot better than normal Haul spell regarding movement. Acolyte paired with Mask of Fanatic will generally give you the best chances of survivability if you just want to face tank bosses.

    Most people are going to recommend going the Acolyte+Ritualist route for general usage, and Summoner if you wanna specialize against soloing bosses
