Ultimate Dead Spells Class Tier List

The main form of progression in Dead Spells is the class you play as. You can either roll for your class and hope you get a good one, or you can actually save your currency and buy it for good. Whichever method you choose, it's essential to know you're going for one of the better classes in the game. To help you pick, we made this Ultimate Dead Spells Class Tier List.

How to get new classes in Dead Spells

In order to get new classes in Dead Spells you need to use the in-game currency - Burgers. Using Burgers, you can unlock a new class in two different ways:

• Roll for a new class - Costs 10 Burgers (can only be done 10 times per account)
• Permanently buy a new class - varies from class to class (from 100 to 7,500 Burgers)

We recommend rolling for a new class until you get a rare or better class, and then start saving Burgers for a really powerful class. Fortunately, getting Burgers is easy - just play the game, do well, and you'll get plenty of them.

Please note that Dead Spells is mostly about how you play and what you gather along the way. A starting class can definitely give you a boost, but it ultimately all depends on how well you play the game and how effectively you use what you gather.

SS-Tier

Class Name	Starting Items	Passives	Info
Necromancer	- Dark Wand - Mana Potion x 3 - Wizard Hat - Tome Of The Undead - Pitchfork	Undead enemies don't attack you	As a Necromancer, you can summon Undead to fight for you. This makes you extremely pwoerful. You also have a bunch of items at the start. Truly an OP class.
King	- Spirit Contract - Crown - Sword	No passives	Similar to the Necromancer, the King can also summon a Spirit to fight for him. Additionally, the King also gets a Sword and even a Crown. Amazing starting class and very easy to play, too.

S-Tier

Class Name	Starting Items	Passives	Info
Defected Shogun	- Dishonored Blade - Corruption Mask - Dash	Unable to use other weapons Longer melee range +100% more HP + 30% Damage - 20% Speed	The only two things holding the Defected Shogun back are him speed and the fact he can't equip other weapons. Other than that, a Defected Shogun is an extremely powerful class.
Samurai	- Katana Samurai Helmet	Unable to use magical weapons	Unlike Ronin and Ninja, the Samurai can equip different weapons and can use armor. The Katana a Samurai gets is a fantastic starter weapon, and the helmet is really powerful, too. A great class to start with.

A-Tier

Class Name	Starting Items	Passives	Info
Giant	- Club	+ 100% Health + 50% Melee Damage - 25% Speed	Giants are really powerful, but that power comes at a huge cost. Giants are too big to enter buildings and structures, and they are very slow. If you can live with these setbacks, then a Giant is a pretty great class.
Vampire	- Bite	Can't regenerate HP naturally + 20% Melee Damage + 10% Lifesteal	Vampires need to bite to feed. This sounds great, but the Lifesteal only takes 10% of damage. Still, with a 20% Melee Damage increase, Vampires are pretty solid.
Ronin	- Katana - Ronin Helmet	Can't equip other weapons or armor - 25% Health	Like the Samurai, the Ronin starts with a Katana, but they can't equip other weapons or armor. They also have lower health, hence why we placed them lower. Otherwise, a pretty good class, especially if you can get them through the 10 rolls.
Ninja	- Katana - Dash	Can't equip armor + 10% Speed	Ninjas are cool, but when they can't wear any armor, they become quite squishy. You need to avoid taking damage at all cost and use the dash effectively. If you can manage that, it's a pretty great class.

B-Tier

Class Name	Starting Items	Passives	Info
Ghoul	- Pitch Fork	Not targeted by undead enemies - 50 % Health Regen - 35% Health + 35% Damage +20% Speed	Similar to Ninjas, Ghouls are really squishy at the beginning. However, after you get them some armor, the 35% extra damage can really make them powerful... but only if you can survive that long.
Warrior	- Battle Axe - Warrior Helmet	- 50% Health Regen + 25% Melee Damage	Warriors do more damage, but their Health regenerates slower. That's about it. Easy to understand, easy to play, not a lot more going on.
Knight	- Sword - Knight Helmet	+ 15% Damage	Similar to Warriors, but they do a bit less damage and don't suffer the Health Regen debuff.

C-Tier

Class Name	Starting Items	Passives	Info
Goblin	- Dagger	Can't use magic weapons - 25% Health + 15% Damage + 35% Health Regen + 20% Speed	Goblins are a bit like Knights, only they don't start with good gear. The extra speed really helps out, too. Otherwise, they are only good if you get lucky during the early game.
Mage	- Crude Wand - Mana Potion x 2 - Wizard Hat	+ 15% Wand Damage	If you can handle only using magic weapons, Mages are pretty good. Otherwise, you should probably replace them with a better class.
Demon	- Pitch Fork	+ 75% Health Regen Shadows don't attack you	As cool as it sounds to be a demon, they aren't that powerful. Their health regenerates faster but they only start with a Pitch Fork, which isn't good.
Gnome	- Linked Sword - Healing Potion	- 15% Health + 15% Damage	Not bad as a starting class. The extra damage is nice and the Linked Sword is a bit better than a Pitch Fork.
Angel	- Sword	You love all creatures + 15% Health + 15% Health Regen - 15% Damage	Playing as an Angel is weird. You have more survivability, but you do less damage, and enemies don't tend to target you if you're in a group. It might sound fun, but it's not worth it.

D-Tier

Class Name	Starting Items	Passives	Info
Risk Taker	- Pitch Fork - Top Hat - Dice x 1	No passives	The only reason why we put Risk Taker above other classes is because sometimes you can get lucky and get a cool item with the Dice. Other times you don't, and that's why the Risk Taker isn't higher.
Apprentice Mage	- Crude Wand - Mana Potion x 2 - Wizard Hat	No passives	Essentially, a Mage without the Wand Damage buff. That's it.
Noble	- Sword - Gold Ring - Top Hat	- 15% Damage	Even though you start with a Sword, your damage debuff isn't going to help you. Still, the armor pieces are kind of good.
Mushroom	- Pitch Fork	+ 300% Health Regen + 50% Health - 65% Damage	Even though you're impossible to kill because of the Health buffs, it's also impossible for you to kill anything with such a huge damage debuff.
Adventurer	- Pitch Fork	No passives	The default class you start as. Nothing special.

That's all there is to it. Have fun earning Burgers and saving for the best class. To stay up to date with Dead Spells, check out our Dead Spells Trello and Discord Links.
