Saltzpyre is the best character in the game

[Shadow Phantasm]

Do you agree/disagree? Why?

[The Fountaineer 🖋]

Agreed, WHC can be dressed up like a Bloodborne character so he’s the best

[Jim]

He definitely has the best VA and personality followed closely by bardin with kruber and sieanna tied for third. I've played saltz since VT1 and he's always been my favorite character.

[Ittrix]

probably the best character in the game that doesn't feel like cheating to use, yeah. He's just... solid. all around.

[DaTank]

Even a bad salts can make the run easy, doesn’t matter which career

[Shadow Phantasm]

IMO, saltzspyre has the best personality, career pathing and balance thus making him the best and most fun character to play

[These stairs go up!]

WHC is easily the strongest career in the game, maybe tied or second place to BW but shes just objectively OP and broken.

[tools guy-kun]

Sometimes I feel like I’m cheating when I use WHC. I got a build off of Wet Magic that sorta makes him able to do everything, with monster killing not being anything crazy like most careers with their ults.

His careers are just really good, and plain fun to use.

[Acherontia]

Disagree; because he's a misogynist.

[Maitre Malterre]

Every character and/or profession is the best in the game - if you know how to play them.

Kruber & Elf got more versatile choices that can easy balance any team & bring superiority in neaded roles that neads to get filled.

I probably would place them like this :
Kruber > Keri > Bardin > Saltz > Sienna.... i really dont like her althrought she got fun stuff in store it's not as fun as the stuff that others can bring to the fight & yes... BW going 2 stager firewalks is nice sometimes but mmost poeple really dont know when to pop theyr ult when it's neaded & mosty of those are as now BW players.

Why Saltz 4th... yeah he got good stuff but Kruber hunter is better :P sorry.. he's better in all aspects :P from the talents to the weapons choices. for elite & special kiling & Saltz can outpower him in kiling monsters but as you play long enought then you will see that monsters are not the problem the problem is all around monster & when people tend to focus to much on it & get hit or grabed.

In terms of drip? Probably one of the best

Actual viability? Near the top but arguably BW is still the dumbest class in this game

As others have mentioned Timothy Bentinck is an incredible VA for Saltspyre and arguably the best VA out of all the characters in the two games.

Gameplay wise it gets a bit more confusing since you didn't define any parameters on how we should judge. Saltspyre and Kruber are arguably the easiest to jump into/learn to play, with Bardin in 2nd place, then Sienna and Kerillian in third.
This is most because WHC and Merc are straightforward frontline-support careers that the rest of the party revolves around in a game. RV, BW, and Waystalker are far less capable of handling crowds on their own for a new player and they go down a lot easier too due to having less health/protection.

For general career diversity I'd say it's tied between Saltspyre and Kerillian.
For 'fun' in my opinion I'd say Krubs and Sienna tie for first, followed by Krerillian and Bardin.

[Puppet Pal Clem]

slayer for life

[Khal'cynee]

he is the only one who say to the elf "shut up", that enought for me

[Kotzi]

Sir Krüber le Grey Knight c'est the best. Love his funny dialogue especially with Kerillian.
