Blademaster, Anchor and RE.

Covers everything except explosive spam which I hate and I donā€™t like being the guy who refuses to take turns playing engi.

Tactician- for versatility.

Brawler- for versatility.

Nomad- for versatility.

(If I could chooseā€¦ thereā€™s a lot of close choices though).

If I couldnā€™t choose because my game bugged out and didnā€™t have a choice of classes I could use - outlandish worst case- Iā€™d ā€œhopeā€ for:

Blademaster.
Jack. (Not even a preferred class, just one I could use effectively to assist all of the DPS picks here in the thread so far haha).
Mechanic. (Pretty much same as above- wouldā€™ve preferred gunner/anchor since mechanic is a bit ā€œjack redundantā€ - but Iā€™m not making the rules).

ā€¦ I donā€™t play escape anymore so Iā€™d have to make due.

Assuming that most of randoms players should choose Demo/Tactician and Veteran and good players should choose Brawler, BM, Infiltrator and Nomad or Marksman and because Horde and Escape is a team effort, my choices are:

Jack
Combat Medic
Anchor

Even when choosing Jack left me with only 2 options for Escape, and CM never shines enough on Escape, but Anchor is an all-terrain class

In this order:

Blademaster
Tactician
Brawler

Insane survivability. Offensive power houses. Very useful in low ammo scenarios. Not reliant on weapon lockers.

Very difficult choice, butā€¦

  1. Gunner - for sure
  2. Jack - indispensable
  3. Brawler - fire bullets are always useful

Infiltrator
Marksman
Anchor

I think thatā€™s a nice mix which covers offence, defence and support. Technically Anchor covers both defence and support with the Barrier ability and Harness Energy card, while the other two cover close-range and long range offence.

I wanted to include Blademaster too, but I think they have to be 4th place to be honest. Infiltrator works better against the low-flying enemies like Bastions, Guardians and Sentinels. They donā€™t always fly into melee range so can be trickier for BM.

And an honorary mention to the Nomad for their versatility. Plus I love playing this class in Escape.

Thatā€™s absolutely brutal lol. I love most of the classesā€¦

If I had to answer for letā€™s say finishing mastering everything, it would have to be different. Most of whatā€™s left is Escape, but still half of the 1-50s anyway. So Iā€™d have to ditch Jack because I canā€™t use him in Escape in your hypothetical question. I also would likely have to ditch Brawler because any hive thatā€™s easy for Brawler, Iā€™ve mastered, or could do so another way. And he isnā€™t good honestly in horde, at the highest levels at least, thereā€™s just better classes (but so much fun for me in Escape).

I guess that might bring it down to:

Tactician
Anchor
Nomad

I have no idea. Thatā€™s not what I prefer though, really.

Iā€™m less skilled at melee classes, I can do well, but itā€™s more iffy for me.

If I was purely talking about getting horde maps done, Demo is #1. I canā€™t trust the randoms for boss damage most of the time. But I find Demo a little bit boring, I know itā€™s nice to do the most damage pushing Y but itā€™s a little boring if you ask me.

If Iā€™m thinking about pure fun, what 3 classes have I enjoyed and want to keep playing, it has to be:

Pilot
Jack
Nomad

A strange mix. Iā€™m good with a Dropshot, the class literally gets an Ult back from a Boomshot to the face so when something goes wrong, the game is like, ā€œAww poor guy, hereā€™s your Ult!ā€ The Silverback is tons of fun, it works great for holding a side. If youā€™re holding on an open map, you can use it sparingly and just dropshot for great damage and team help (stun lock the big guys and elites). I just find it a super fun class and Iā€™m good at it. Most Pilots I see arenā€™t very good so maybe that makes it feel more special to me. Even my friends who are better gamers than I am seem just not to like the class or do as well with it.

Jack because I loved him from the start and nothing for me is as much fun as a team freaking out, but then I take a Mulcher and just melt the entire wave. Iā€™ve worked very hard to have almost everything 6s, Iā€™m 18/20 on duration for his Ult so Iā€™ll have a max Jack soon. I call him Kill Jack.

Nomad is a similar thing. Everyone seems to think Nomad sucks and is at best some sort of lame support class. I just did 1-50 Master on Nexus Thursday and ran Rain Down, Acceleration, Markza Mastery, Consecutive Shot, and Intimidation (all level 6) and cleared 5 million damage, second to Demo. It absolutely melts with maxed cards. And itā€™s a versatile enough class I cleared a Master frenzy on Village using a totally different setup - Concussive Boltok, Faze, Execution Shield, Gnasher damage, and Nomad Armor. I solo held the left side mostly just chainsawing, fear big guys if theyā€™re alone and shotgun them, Boltok regular guys, etc. It wasnā€™t a massive damage output but nothing ever came through that side and itā€™s a good build for a tight map.

So those 3 are the classes I guess I enjoy the most and am best at.
