No they are not, "Utilty" classes scale dmg slower than ones with pure dmg bonuses, which can make a huge difference in snowballing, if RNG is not particularly generous in a run. And snowballing fast is everything on D5.

Knight can increase very rapidly armor and healt regeneration and just survive everything. It's basicly only what he needs.

With the armor and regen nerfs its just not good enough anymore. I recently ended a run on wave 19 with Knight. I had like 35 armor, 28 health regen, 98 max hp, 6 spears at tier 3-4. Wasnt enough, got overwhelmed.

Why spears? Swords are best for him.

Knight and Demon were some of the easiest D5 wins for me.

Whats your Demon strat? Just restart until you get nothing except max hp upgrades, and use items to cover for all other stats? My Demon runs end around wave 10-12, due to getting two-shotted by something because I dont have HP. If I try to stack more HP I dont have items and no damage or anything else.

Also when did you do Knight runs? Armor and hp regen got nerfed with the recent patch. Try again now see how it goes

Spears have a lot of range, figured they'd be the best. Why swords?

I was stacking Harvesting and had Piggy Bank. I usually wasn't taking max HP upgrades from level ups because I got plenty of max HP from the material conversion.

Knight, Bull, Demon, Multitasker, Wildling, Gladiator. Just from my testing. There are probably others, I suspect Mutant is unviable as well, you just wont get nearly enough items with that debuff. No items means no damage means that XP buff is useless.


Knight is one of the most consistent ways to beat D5

I beat Knight on the beta branch before the patch went live. So pretty similar to the current patch and the HP Regen was actually even worse at the time. I'll give it another try soon though.

Ok just gave it another go on the current patch. Beat it on the first attempt.

Bull can win d5. I had to get that item that deals 1 damage every second and used the explosion to clear enemies.

Gladiator is fine, one of the strong ones really. Free +5 Melee damage, stack random weapon and you get 30-45% free attack speed. The negative Luck is annoying, but it's far easier to overcome than all the garbage Potatoes with damage penalties.

Swords stacks for both Heavy and Blade "set bonuses". Up to 25% increased damage, and 5 Melee damage/5% Life steal.
It's also slightly faster, good sweeping attack, and still a respectable range on it's thrusting attack.

But I will say, I love the Spear, it's amazing, but on Knight, it's so easy to stack Swords, it's simply the better option for this tato.

Knight and Demon were two easy wins for me. I did the Knight with a full sword build. As for the Demon, I just played him like a glass cannon in the early game. It's very important to get a strong build and fast. I was under 10 HP up to wave 10, but with a very strong build so it was easy to not get hit. Past wave 10, start to buy things less agressively to gain HP back. I had more than 150 HP for wave 20.

Wildling and Gladiator took me some tries but weren't that bad. I didn't try Multitasker yet. Bull however is indeed awful in D5.
