The character holds a Shield meter, which protects them from the incoming damage. This hero can complement your gameplay if you want to engage with melee weapons.
Bard
From advanced class, Bard is a long-range weapon specialist and helps the whole team. Equipped with a holy harp, she can destroy the enemies and help her teammates with the healing. Bard enables creative and versatile gameplay. However, her attacking stats are comparatively low; because of her supporting attributes, she is one of the best heroes in the game.
Destroyer
If you want to play slow and with full force, Destroyer is the go-to-class for you. They are equipped with amazing weapons, and they have reliable armor. They have the power to control gravity and have a massive hammer as their weapon to kill their enemies. With amazing jumping shots and explosive attacks, they are frightening to come across.
A-Tier
In A-tier, there are amazing classes. They are very effective and powerful.
Deathblade
Deathblade has one of the highest pick rates in the game. Because of her menacing and luring looks, players tend to choose this class despite its certain weaknesses. Deathblade is equipped with a short dagger and an amazing longsword.
On top of it, she carries three death Orbs that you can use to improve your speed skill and movement skills. The main setback of this character is the lack of automatic gun switching.
Sorceress
The sorceress is a very fun to play character in the game. And if you are starting out in the game, then you can easily play this character. Sorceress can deal with great damage and sometimes carry the team.
All her powers come from the various magic spells. She can cause great damage to various enemies in a certain proximity.
Glavier
Glavier is the advanced class female martial arts character that owns two weapons with different attributes. They have Spears and Glaive. This melee helps her to balance their attack.
Additionaly, the AOE of these melees is very wide and can damage different foes. Due to various intricacies, Glavier is very fun to play, but they are very hard to master.
Wardancer
Equipped with lightweight knuckles, Wardance is an advanced-class martial arts character in the game. The main attributes of Wardancer are her fast mobility and powerups that are too devastating to the opponents.
You can throw some power and flashy kick and punches at an enemy initially, but as you move up with level, you get more skills and amazing attacks.
Berserker
Berserker is considered one of the most powerful classes in the game. They are very fast and versatile as well. They crush their enemies with their amazing-wielded swords and amazing powerups.
The downside to the Berserker is their cooldown and waiting time. But when they get the power, they get unstoppable.

If you want to mix the work of fantasy and Sci-fi, then Aetillerist is the best option. They are equipped with amazing weapons like missiles and laser beams that can cause a lot of damage to the opponents. When Artillerist deals with the damage, they get the power gauge in the game.
Shadowhunter
Shadow is an exciting class to pick from. With the exciting transformation and smooth powerups, it is very fun to play and to gets into the fight with the enemies.
When the character transforms, the character can even heal itself, which is very important. On top of that, the character only needs two obs to get the transformation power.
Scrapper
Scrapper is very simple to play and forgiving at times. You can sometimes make silly mistakes, and you can get away with them. Also, Scrapper is a well-balanced class that you can pick up and play.

Similarly, You need great support to really shine if you choose Striker. Overall, It is a very good pick with some exciting play.

With the lighting bow and arrow as the primary weapon, Sharpshooter can easily knock down various enemies with ease. Sharpshooters excel in the long-range battle. But to master this class, you need to invest your time and up your skills and aims.
B-Tier
The B-tier classes require a lot of time and effort to master.
Deadeye
Equipped with an amazing shotgun, this class is very fun to play with. But sometimes, Your shotgun feels onlylike a melee weapon. You need to get close to enemies to kill them. Furthermore, you need a very long time to master this class and be good at it.
Soulfist
This is a good class, but the cooldown time makes it an average class in the game. The burst attack and powers are powerful, but they must be well calculated if you want to get the best out of it. It has both melees and ranged weapons, so it has more cooldown time.
C-tier
This class is relatively weak than the other three classes.
Paladin
Paladin is technically a Support class, but its attacking attributes are also okay. They can cover up from the back and support the team. They have two special power which can be used to fend off enemies and bosses.
