Which character do I choose?
It is my first playthrough and I don't know how to choose, any suggestions?

Purna Jackson is a shooting hero, which means you're just waiting for the first chapter and it's very difficult for you. In the second act, a firearm appears and here Purna can show herself well (upgrade her skills only on firearms, otherwise she is useless). Rage is difficult to control if the enemy is standing close – you can't shoot. A support character, her skills are of great use only if you play in a team or with a friend.

Logan Carter is a support character. A semi-finished product that can all do a little. The main disadvantage is that abandoned weapons can be lost. Has the best rage in the game, but its duration is very low. A controversial character, for an amateur pageantry.

Xian Mei – has very powerful offensive skills. But she has the smallest health, when you reach a high level, problems may appear. Rage is also good, but make sure you have enough skill points for other abilities.
The strongest character in the game (in terms of damage done).

I would agree that Sam B is the tank and easiest if you are just starting. There are no super bad choices but it takes awhile to figure out how things work and Sam B gives you the best chance to recover from getting into a bad situation because you don't realize how quickly one or two zombies can become a swarm.

Here I meant that you can be knocked down during a rage. The probability of this is much higher for Sam B, than that of the other heroes, because in order to strike you need to get close to the enemies. Sam's rage does not give additional effects in the form of acceleration or increased health, like Xian Mei (she can use almost all the rage skills and you will feel their effect in battle). If you don't increase Sam's rage (just ignore it), then you can make him a very cool character. Since his fighting and survival skills are the they are very good and will help you survive much longer. Sam B created to absorbs damage and survives well. But the role of Damage Dealer is assigned to Xian Mei in this game.
