What Class Is Best Suited for PvP (Arena Battles) In trove?
I currently own the tomb raiser and the dracolyte, however neither appear to be very strong in pvp. I die most often with the tombraiser, and dracolyte just has short range. I have no direct melee or long ranged classes, and I have a free class token, so what should I get? Need recommendations from the majority!

PvP is unbalanced :D For Example:
Candy Barbarian - you press 2 and your ice cream kills everyone
Ice Sage - You press 2 freeze everyone and spam RMB to kill everyone (+ you can press 1 for speed boost and armor protecting from 1-hit kill)
Pirate Captain - RMB and 2 are cannons with AOE, wallhack and aimhack at once (you can't hide behind wall)
Shadow Hunter - If you are good at shooting, you just charge RMB and kill everyone in 1 hit (tanks would need to use 2 too)

With banner wchich grant battle power to remove cooldown (forgot name) you can just spam "2"
Candy - a lot of ice creams
Ice - keep freezing
Pirate - spam 5 cannons on spawn. Enemies will be dead in few sec after spawn
Shadow - his 2 grant additional dmg to RMB to it could be usefull

I love your answer because it's so true. LOL

Anyways, I thought I add on this:
Dracolyte: It's a decent class but it's annoying when you're stuck in narrow areas with it. Like the ult is something you wanna avoid if you encounter a dracolyte.
Tomb Raiser: Surprisingly, I couldn't by-pass one blocking the flag unless I used my ult freeze skill (ice sage). Tomb Raiser can act like a melee with their minions and it takes out health pretty well.
Knight: Great at capturing flags except the movement speed is terrible. It can dash to the flag quicker, and the ult heals your health full giving you a shield to reduce incoming damage. So yeah..the knight is protective.
Revenant: The ult is good (sometimes) because it can pull your opponents in it which might help another team-mate kill whoever is suffering in the Rev's ult
Fae Trickster: Stay away from this unless you wanna knock people out with the bombs. (Need good aim)
Boomeranger: the one bomb attack that splits into 4 bombs can knock you back (sometimes) which is annoying especially when you're on those island maps. The first skill is terrible but sometimes you get lucky with it.
Chloromancer: My god this class is a piece of hell for that small arena with the flag capture thing in that one small room. It's pretty good at stopping people (some people get lucky to get out alive) I'd say a chloromancer and rev would work well together.
Gunslnger: Meh..it's okay? I guess you need good aim for it.

I think I covered all the classes.

I also might make a guide about classes in pvp later on in the future..if i stop playing Trove for abit lmao

PvP is pretty much worthless other than getting those chests... which is why so many people sit AFK in it... I don't waste my time with it.

Rank 10 and you forget the best class? Neon Ninja can not only stunlock characters with his number 1 ability he can keep them there free from harm with his 2. Add that with sweet movement speed, some jump tactics, and you have the best flag blitzer on the map. Dodge out of combat with right click and flank clueless enemies from behind! Such fun.

Not like I was in game typing the comments so I couldn't obviously remember every class or checked the class changer list. Tbh, I've met some terrible neon ninjas but some are decent but unfortunately, the top 10 players on the pvp leader boards don't even use neon ninja.

I also don't use neon ninja myself. In pvp or pve. I don't consider it number one for anything.

:'/ I think poor little gunslinger has been left out quite heartlessly. I love my lil' baby...

In all seriousness, I think of several deadly combinations:

Rev+Chloro- Chloro slows them down and damages constantly, also healing, while rev tanks and beats the sh*t out of them.

Rev+Ice- Ice sage freezes them and drops icicles on their head while rev once more tanks and beats their brains out.

Ninja+Pirate- (The most glorious combination) Ninja holds them in place and damages wih their ult while pirate captain sets cannons and blasts them while they're frozen.

Lancer+Chloro- The combined slowness of the lancer's 1 attack and chloro's right click make it nearly impossible to escape, add to that the lancer's dead ult and it becomes instantly clear who will or won't escape that.

These are in my opinion highly dangerous to encounter, and despite my intense love for my gunslinger, I have a hard time doing well in pvp with him. :(

Well, thanks for your replies guys. Overall, I'm in a war between pirate and candy barbarian. Both appear to be extremely strong (in terms of you guys) and both are roughly equally powerful. So, which one should I pick? This is a once in a lifetime experience! (not really).
