Pathfinder — Kingmaker Best Class

The Inquisitor is a master of adaptability. They possess a unique ability to identify enemy weaknesses instantly and can switch roles from a tank to a damage dealer in a single round. The "Monster Tactician" or "Sacred Huntsmaster" archetypes are particularly potent. The latter grants an animal companion—a class feature so powerful in Pathfinder that it is essentially an extra party member for free. With access to "Bane" abilities and "Judgments," the Inquisitor can ensure that their attacks rarely miss and their damage output rivals that of pure martial classes, all while retaining the ability to cast crucial buffs and healing spells. For players who prefer a gish style (mixing magic and melee), the Inquisitor offers the highest return on investment with minimal micromanagement overhead.
