Why the top classes rank high
- Lumberjack (70): lots of wood from nearly unlimited trees, strong early and late (Robloxden).
- Vampire (600): strong starting weapon and night buffs; lifesteal at max level helps you recover while kiting (Robloxden).
- Cyborg (600): area-of-effect starting weapon and one of the best armors; good at farming Cultist strongholds (Robloxden).
- Necromancer (600): slow to start, but dominates once the army is built (Robloxden).
- Fire Bandit (200): cheap, infinite-ammo ranged weapon, can stockpile Wildfire potions (Robloxden).
Where the two lists disagree
Pocket Gamer puts Farmer in S tier; Robloxden puts it in F. Lumberjack is S for Robloxden and B for Pocket Gamer. Chef is S for Pocket Gamer and B for Robloxden. The lists are a year-apart snapshot of opinion and the game has been updated since, so treat tiers as a guide, not a rule.
Both agree Necromancer, Cyborg and Vampire are top classes, and that Camper, Cook, Medic and Support sit low.
Solo or with a team
Robloxden says Support and Medic are useless solo, calls Undead entirely useless in solo play, and says Chef and Brawler lose value without a team. In a group, Chef and Medic get more useful, and Hunter pairs well with a Big Game Hunter.
How to pick
- Starting out: save for Lumberjack (70), Fisherman (50) or Alien (100).
- Going for a 600 class: Vampire, Cyborg or Necromancer are on both lists' top tier.
- Playing solo: skip Support, Medic and Undead.
- Costs and perks change, and the shop rotates every 24 hours, so check in game.
