The big hero challenge can’t be solo no matter your class, but Thief has the advantage to cheese a few of them via stealth / shadow refuge.
The Champion of Balthazar for example can done solo this way.

As far as daredevil goes, I found it very effective. It has plenty of dodges to get out of troublesome mechanics, staff is very good to kill random mobs with Vault destroying pocket raptors easily for example, and the projectile reflect on the auto countering the ranged frogs. Has also access to blinds which are king in solo’ing non champions mobs.

Dash allows you to run around the juggle very very fast, which is nice. The main issue is the lakc of a powerful ranged option, which is why I usually choose P/P as my second weapon set, but it’s still not amazing. But you’re gonna need something when those wyverns are in the middle of their own fire.
