Favorite class and why?

[Mazzle Dazzle]

Mine is fencer for the dashing, the jumping and the blasthole spear and the dispersal mortar. What are yours?

[Tony YenvoY]

Same here XD I feel that I got the same mobility as wingdivers do when I played fencer XD

[James Bondage]

Ranger. It should be pretty obvious why.

[Asur]

fencer i like to snipe stuff and then move fast to another position.

[Airk]

Air Raider: There is no satisfaction like the satisfaction of a well placed air strike.

Fencer, then wing diver. Not touched the other classes.

[Canadian Guitar]

So far I've only played fencer in 5.

OP, give Blood Storms a go, those are greatness

[Muu]

Air raider, does 90% of the work each level.

[Gracey Face]

Air raider because airstrikes and artillery win wars.

[Akkarin]

Wing Diver! I couldn't stand playing them in 4.1, but for some reason they feel a lot more powerful and fun in 5

[All talk and no fight]

Ranger. Can't wait for the reloadable fusion blaster in dlc 2.
I just wish there was a higher level perfect liquid armor, or some of his suits offered a tiny amount of damage resista ce!

In EDF 4.1, I played a fair amount of all 4 classes, but overall Wing Diver was my favorite. Now in EDF 5... Wing Diver is probably my least favorite. I like the added mobility but strongly dislike the mechanical changes to most of her weapons. Not a fan of huge energy costs, damage falloff with ammo spent (effectively halving magazine sizes), having to pre-charge weapons before you can fire, stuff like that.

For EDF 5 I have to say I'm enjoying Ranger the most. Air Raider is pretty close with its improvements to, well air raids. Ranger, though, I like the feel of Minion Busters, Slaughter and Breacher shotguns are insanely powerful at point blank, and Free Bikes are freaking fantastic. Bikes in the last game were a joke but this time around it's somehow become my favorite vehicle, and I wish Air Raider could call them too.

Wingdiver due to mobility. So she's my favorite class. Also Stardust Cannon is just such a lovely weapon.



Ranger run ability takes too long to activate and zooms in far too much to be fun to use. Even with later upgrades it's meh. Have some fun using his weapons though.

Fencer is much like Ranger with that mobility is rather slow. Even with booster mods. Weapons have so far been really weak sauce when using his and long reload on fun weapons.

Haven't tested Air Raider at all so don't know how he is.

I did so too in the start but later on you can get weapons which are devastating to enemies. Stardust Cannon and Destroyer Blaster 2 for example is quite powerful at low level. When you get the upgraded versions of the game it just gets so powerful. Not to talk about the upgraded Stardust cannons.

But basically most other weapons are weak or have energy cost so high that they are not worth it.

Air Raiders are a lot of fun to play as in 5 thanks to the way how strikes work compared to 4.1.

Rangers are nice due to the semi automatic assault rifles and the sprinting mechanic, although it may take a bit for the startup. Their other weapons are fine, but I like the AR + Bazooka combo.

Fencers are definitely good for bigger enemies when you pair two shotguns on a weapon set, and your other weapon set has side thrusters.

Wing Divers are nice for hit and run attacks, but I will need to experiment with their weapons more.

I was an Air Raider back in the 2025 and 4.1 days and I certainly don't see any reason to change that with EDF 5. Especially with the improvements to his various support strikes (even if it does come at the cost of having to build up to being able to have ANY sort of vehicle sent to you).

[Mazzle Dazzle]

I love all of these comments. I liked ranger surprisingly more in this one with the ability to drop a lot of vehicles. He feels very good. The wing diver does a ton of damage so I like them too.
I really liked the air raider in the first one but they feel a bit slow for too many missions. I'm not sure how to change that.
The fencer is probably the best for me in terms of damage, mobility and skill ceiling for me. It's so satisfying to go careening through a gap in a cluster of bugs or aliens and tearing them apart barely being scathed and then launching away and mortaring the entire area.
In short, I like everything lol.
