Classes are purchased with Diamonds — earned through achievements, rare chests, and completing runs. This tier list helps you decide which class offers the best value for your Diamonds.

While the Assassin is technically the strongest, its 500 Diamond cost makes it a late-game luxury. For most players, the Lumberjack provides the best overall value with its resource gathering boost.
