There are 14 classes, also known as collars, in Mewgenics, five of which are unlocked from the start of the game, while the rest come in as later unlockables. This guide will provide you with a tier list of the best classes in the game, including their main abilities and team synergies.
Top Classes Tier List for Mewgenics
| Tiers | Classes |
|---|---|
| S | Cleric, Hunter |
| A | Fighter, Tank, Butcher |
| B | Mage, Monk, Thief, Necromancer |
| C | Psychic, Druid, Tinkerer, Jester |
| D | Collarless |
S-Tier Classes
| Classes | Features |
|---|---|
| Cleric | Vast array of healing spells, revives, and debuff removals, which are essential for long runs, permadeath, and late-game bosses, make it the top healer and support collar. It’s also pretty tanky with +2 CHA mana regen for spamming spells and +2 CON with buffs like Buddy Up for better positioning. |
| Hunter | This is a top ranged DPS collar with extreme ranged attacks, traps for crowd control, and Marked ability for guaranteed crits, making it a top boss shredder from a safe distance. Hunter actually has a very high accuracy potential with +3 DEX and +2 LCK for crits that make shots 100% hit-consistent even against dodgy enemies like ghosts. |
A-Tier Classes
| Classes | Features |
|---|---|
| Fighter | Top melee DPS collar with +2 STR for massive damage, backstabs, Fury Swipes, multi-hits, and Spin AoE, although melee range exposes it to focus fire without support. It also has +1 SPD for flanking and leaping, using such abilities like Berserk Dash, Leap, and Bull Rush for repositioning and crowd control. |
| Tank | If you like survivability and control, then this collar will fit you the best, with its +4 CON and huge HP pool, knockback chains, Bodyguard swaps, and Goad taunt. Note that it has low offense and mobility, where -1 DEX and -1 INT hurts its accuracy, making it act slowly and struggle against faster swarms without team DPS. |
| Butcher | This class combines elements of both the Fighter and Tank, but it’s very slow and often position-locked, making it impossible to escape. Use this collar for Meat Hook pulls, Cleave AoE spawns for food heals, Chomp lifesteals, Spin Cleave for multi-hits, and self-heal loops. |
B-Tier Classes
| Classes | Features |
|---|---|
| Mage | Powerful spellcaster with AoE nukes and a ridiculous variety of elemental spells and environmental exploits with doublecast passives like Energy Storm. Unfortunately, many of its spells require a direct view, and thus constant repositioning, unlike Hunter’s lobs, with only a few items that bypass this limitation. |
| Monk | Versatile hybrid fighter with stance swapping for melee and ranged modes that adapts to any fight and scales with upgrades in many team comps. It starts pretty slow and needs specific abilities and gear to shine, having a very high skill floor with some very awkward skills. |
| Thief | Speed assassin with burst, backstabs, teleportation, and straight-line projectiles that functions like a high-risk, high-reward DPS. Thief is way too dependent on positioning with line-only attacks that require constant teleportation, while each mistake will punish you hard without mobility gear. |
| Necromancer | Reanimates corpses for half-HP zombie allies with Full Moon lifesteal, Soul Link sharing of enemy damage, and tons of other downed synergies. Definitely needs bodies of the enemies down first, as without them, it’s a pretty weak performer with low personal DPS. |
All other classes are also pretty fun to play, but they’re not as consistent as the ones listed above, and often have a weaker base stat line.
