How to unlock classes

Use the Classes booth in the lobby. The current documented spin cost is 40 Gems. A full playthrough shows the player rolling rather than directly selecting the desired class, and also shows paid luck/fast-roll conveniences around the system.

Which class is best?

There is not enough clean evidence to publish a fake numerical tier list. Choose around your bottleneck instead:

  • Capacity problem → Pack Mule.
  • Cash problem → Hay Merchant.
  • Gem farming → Prospector.
  • Drone-heavy route → Drone Specialist.
  • Tool-specific roles → Forkmaster or Demolitionist when that tool is your main clear method.

This advice is more defensible than assigning S/A/B ranks without verified rarity odds and exact live modifiers.
