What class is top tier?

[CHEWY]

That's all I care about

[Kheryo]

Wing Diver, but not by far.
She has a tool for every job, and if all else fails, infinite flight (with Sky-High/Bird/Mighty core) + power/dragoon lance will let you outlast any situation.

Fencer is also great but incredibly difficult to play well.

Air raider is really good on specific maps and near powerless on others.
Ranger is a good all-rounder too but weaker than the others.

[Goblin King Jareth]

Air Raider is the best at trivializing many maps, but some maps he can struggle on or get reduced to overreliance on vehicles.
Fencer can solo all of inferno with not much health, and phone in kiting much easier than WD. I prefer AR for the crazy fun flexibility of weird loadout combinations you can still win maps with. Overall if I was stuck picking only one class though it would be Fencer, even though he can't trivialize things to the degree a WD or AR can due to their outrageous damage potential, he never struggles with much either and has a wide loadout flexibility including defensive options.

Fencer is by far the best but requires a lot of skill to use.

Wing Diver is also a close second but doesn't require much skill. Sky Core go brrt.

[Plumber]

Fencer has an answer to everything and no real weaknesses with high-level play, but his strengths won't be apparent unless you already have experience playing the other classes. It's not just that he is versatile and very difficult to kill; his power is being able to be anywhere and do anything on the map to make sure your teammates can do what they want without sacrificing your own direct contributions like Wing Diver and Ranger are forced to because of their limited resources and low mobility. Knowing what that means for each class, weapon, and mission is the difference between winning a map for your teammates and stomping it WITH them.

In other words, YOU are the top tier class.

We are playing in different version of the game? Why you count fencer as a hard to play class? By my opinion it's most easy class in the game and he also strong as hell.

Dash+jump wtih full mods for and kite like hell.

Fencer is the easiest class to succeed with once you have a basic understanding. Fencer also has the steepest learning curve and the fastest-paced offense. They are not mutually exclusive.

Join some normal/hard rooms and see how new players do with them.

I'm playing only with friends, so i can't see how regular players is playing on fencer. But, if you ask me: Fencer is easy class to play, easiest if to be honest. You have insane mobility, huge DPS with AOE, also your durability is higher thany any other.

Playing with my friends Wingdiver is easiest.
Later missions our ranger was basically reduced to motorcycle+shotgun+healing tool
And driving around shotgun reviving/healing
Air raider was either mission carry or dead weight
Wing diver was kiting/Damage
Fencer was damage/kiting

Just recently bought and started playing it. Like I said just our 4 person group sprinting through the game on Hard with fresh characters. I'm sure pre grinding or a difficulty change would change that, but eh.
Didn't read any guides either because dash canceling was *fun* in 4.1 (it really was, just a little trivializing)

All good. Glad you're enjoying this w/ your friends :)

I'd say WD is the easiest and really strong but Fencer is the best. He takes the longest to get good with but can pretty much do whatever you want and do it close to as well if not better than the other classes.

That being said Air Raider is hard to rank. He struggles to be a solo monster like Fencer or maybe WD but in certain situations he can destroy an entire mission with his support.

It's relative to the other classes. His movement alone is actually something that takes a bit of practice and a lot of basic characteristics like walking speed, how fast he can move his reticle, how much recoil his cannons have, how many boosts and jumps he has, etc. vary greatly depending on your equipment setup. The other 3 classes don't have to worry about that at all, though WD has a tiny bit of energy management to deal with but nothing close to what Fencer has to account for.

also don't forget the fact that some fencer weapons also takes time to wind up before u can even fire, another micro-management that u also need to do
