Getting some of the best classes in 99 Nights in the Forest heavily relies on grinding Achievements and collecting Diamonds from chests. The Assassin might be the strongest option for now but there are still great affordable classes you can get that aren't 500 Diamonds. I'll also show you how to farm Diamonds for all classes. Here's my 99 Nights in the Forest class tier list and guide.

All Classes in 99 Nights in the Forest Ranked
Each class has their use but we're here to outline the best classes in 99 Nights in the Forest based on their general usefulness for solo and in a team. You unlock classes by buying them with Diamonds which you get from Achievements, in-game Rare Chests, surviving until Day 99, and Robux. Once you get a class, you can progress it to unlock its Level 2 and Level 3 ability by doing tasks like cooking Food, gathering Wood, killing monsters, etc. Let's dive into the ranking reasons and tips for each class below.
Tip: Check out our 99 Nights in the Forest Walkthrough for a full game guide.
S-Tier Classes
| Class | Notes | Stats |
|---|---|---|
 Assassin Costs 500 Diamonds |
• Technically the best class in 99 Nights in the Forest but I would ignore it and get A-Tier classes unless you're buying it for Robux or grinding it after getting all achievements (I don't recommend buying it with Robux since it isn't worth it) • The Katana is one of the strongest melee weapons in the game and along with Throwing Knives you can speedrun monster caves for Kid 1, 2, and 3 pretty easily. • Use Throwing Knives over the Katana in most cases because of your lower HP • Note that the crit chance and crit damage aren't that high |
Starts with Katana and 120 Throwing Knives Level 1 • +10% sprint speed • -15% HP • +5% chance for Throwing Knives to spawn in chests Level 2 • First hit on an enemy has a chance to critically strike Level 3 • 10% chance for Throwing Knives to spawn in chests |
A-Tier Classes
| Class | Notes | Stats |
|---|---|---|
 Lumberjack Costs 70 Diamonds |
• The real best class to get for all stages of the game since it's actually affordable • Starting with a Good Axe drastically speeds up the game • Extra Logs are useful for early, mid, and late game for Campfire upgrades, Crafting, and the Biofuel Processor food generation |
Starts with Good Axe Level 1 • 20% chance to get 1 bonus log from trees Level 2 • 25% chance for a double sapling drop Level 3 • 20% chance to get 1 or 2 bonus logs from trees |
 Ranger Costs 70 Diamonds |
• Lumberjack is better mid-to-late game but Ranger is better early for Speedrunning • You can speedrun the first two monster caves with the Revolver for easy access to Kid 1 and 2 • The ammo refund works with the Rifle and Shotgun which is amazing |
Starts with Flashlight, Revolver and 18 Revolver Ammo Level 1 • Start with 18 ammo Level 2 • 10% chance to refund ammo on shot Level 3 • Start with 30 ammo |
B-Tier Classes
| Class | Notes | Stats |
|---|---|---|
 Cook Costs 40 Diamonds |
• Overall not flashy but very useful for the entire team • Seasoning has infinite uses so just click over every cooked piece of food • Not that useful early but much better lategame for pumping out Stews that restore almost full hunger with Seasoning and Hearty |
Starts with Seasoning (Infinite uses, Use on Food to increase hunger restoration) Level 1 • Seasoned food restores more hunger Level 2 • Crockpot cooks 20% faster Level 3 • 25% chance to make Hearty Stew |
C-Tier Classes
| Class | Notes | Stats |
|---|---|---|
 Medic Costs 40 Diamonds |
• Great for beginners and the early game • The Bandages won't mean much later since you'll find a ton of them and you'll have Medkits • Great in public games with random people to revive them faster and with more HP and Hunger |
Starts with 2 Bandages Level 1 • ×5 Faster revives Level 2 • Improved revive on others, restores more health and hunger Level 3 • Start with a Medkit and a Bandage instead |
 Camper Costs 10 Diamonds |
• The 10% reduce hunger drain is kind of like having a Cook but only for yourself which is useful • Otherwise doesn't bring that much team utility but is great for beginner solo runs where you gather resources at night |
Starts with Flashlight Level 1 • +10% reduced hunger drain Level 2 • Increased visibility at night Level 3 • Spawn with a Stew |
D-Tier Classes
| Class | Notes | Stats |
|---|---|---|
 Scavenger Costs 25 Diamonds |
• Overall a very useless class • The +2 Sack space works with all Sacks but it's not that impactful • Get other classes |
Level 1 • +2 sack space Level 2 • Open chests 20% faster Level 3 • Chance to get Scrap as a bonus drop from chests |
How to Farm Diamonds in 99 Nights in the Forest
You unlock classes by purchasing them with Diamonds so how can you get more Diamonds? Here are all ways to farm Diamonds in 99 Nights in the Forest:
- You might randomly get Diamonds from Rare Chests that start appearing after you unlock Campfire Level 3 or 4.
- You get Diamonds for completing badges/Achievements. The higher the stars on a Badge, the more Diamonds (One star badges give 2, Two star badges give 4, etc.).
- You get Diamonds for reaching Day 99.
- You can buy Diamonds for Robux but I wouldn't recommend it.
- Essentially, to aim for high-Diamond-cost classes like Assassin, you need to complete all badges and then go for speedrunning until Day 99 as many times as possible. Loot Rare Chests along the way.
