 Illusionist | +Auto target ability makes this class a no-brainer +Teleport skill is also a huge plus for mobility -Needs some practice to get accustomed to |

 Nomad | +Perfect damage and skills make it good for beginners +Strong movement ability that allows you to zoom past maps -Not a master in any field |
| Character | Pros/Cons |
|---|---|

 Shield Lancer | +Good for taking on hordes and playing coop +Summon augment works best but slows farming down -Weakened defense after nerf -Slow attack and average damage |
| Character | Pros/Cons |
|---|---|
 Marauder | +Good HP and optimal for a tank build +For players who prefer a melee class +Skills like Bombardment are great as they allow aiming -Lacks mobility -Gets good only after higher levels |
 Viking | +Powerful melee combat +Can take on hordes easily -Difficult to level up unless you're playing Arcane ability -Lacks movement |
 Butcher | +Tanky class with good HP +Good for players who prefer a melee class -Difficult to level up as he requires a relic to do so -Mobility and abilities are subpar |
 Redneck | +Mediocre character with balanced stats -Doesn't excel at anything -Mobility is poor |
 Shaman | +Useful abilities in general -Not so good for leveling up -Good moves, but some require a lot of mana for execution |
One of the best choices for beginners is a Necromancer focused on summoning (Lord of the Dead skill tree). This character doesn't require high skill to use, as most damage comes from summons. Those undead will clear the stage for you, but what's more important is that with their help, it's easier to reach the end game.
