Favorite early game classes?

[Intra]

So far I like Ranger and Bard, what do you guys like using?

[AtheistPreacher]

Not counting the default knight, the earliest class unlocks are Ranger, Mage, Valkyrie, and Barbarian.

Out of those, I definitely like Valkyries best for their versatility. Their long reach and ability to attack up and down in addition to left and right means you'll often be able to kill mobs through narrow walls/floors/ceilings without exposing yourself to danger at all. Their class ability to reflect projectiles has no cooldown as long as you deflect at least one thing, making bullet hell scenarios way, way easier to deal with... and meanwhile deflecting projectiles is refilling your mana, making them good spellcasters.

That's the 2nd person I've heard recommending Valk for early game, that will be the next I level for sure

I think valks are pretty fun early, but they got overshadowed later, they dont do much to me par blocking small projectiles (which sure its useful)

The Knight and the Barbarian would be my pick, my fav is duelist tho.

Ranger i have no patience to play on joystick..too slow to clean rooms

Yeah I can understand why. They can't move while shooting so even with 100% accuracy and one shotting they are slower than most.

Chefs are OP. Whenever I pick one I try to slow down so the run takes longer. Projectile reflection, tons of healing and a safe play style with Burn. Ranger's another good choice.

How's the Chef alternate weapon? I felt like pot was kinda low DPS and I like one shotting

It's even harder to use than the Pan(arguably hardest to use in the game) but does do more damage if you manage to skill crit with it. Best thing about the Chef is the Burn really. You just whack things and wait for the DoT to kill them. If you're trying to kill things with the Pan's damage just play a melee class.

I should consider weapon swapping on Chef then until I get spoon then lol, I'm going hard STR

Ranger is too strong, and I hate the barbarian. Feels too slow.

Honestly, it sounds basic, but Knight is my favorite class in the game. Once you learn how to time the parries, you can "shield-bomb" enemies for massive damage and projectile clearing

I got the boxer pretty fast, and it is BY FAR the one I get the furthest on. It was the one I killed first boss with. And that's forgetting to use the class skill after stacking the combo a couple times, for that big damage.

[Mani]

I was able to kill the second boss first try (haven't seen any vids before) with the Ranger, I couldn't have done that with any other class. There's your answer..

[aremtheman]

I like the ranger too, although I thought it would be considered weak by most people. Guess not.

[O Melhor e mais Humilde]

Barbarian and Chef! (They both are very OP... for me at least), (Hated Archer and Mage)

[bzcharkl]

Barbarian was my first successful Lamech kill, so I guess it would get my vote.
