Working out which of the starting or unlockable classes fits best for your playstyle is going to depend on how well you mesh with their kit.

  Playstyle	Class	General Strategy	Key Features
  New Players	Heavyblade Rabbit	Deal damage with your primary attack, saving your special and defensive moves as panic buttons if you get caught out of position or cannot dodge.	The Heavyblade is the most straightforward character the game offers. You’ll deal high damage from purely your primary attack, and you have two different moves that grant invulnerability.
  Bullet Hell Veterans	Wizard Rabbit	A common tactic from other bullet hell games is to stay near the bottom of the screen and dodge within a small area, which fits well into this class.	The Wizard Rabbit benefits from staying in a single location while casting slow spells like Dimi Moonburst and Astral Seal.
  MMO Veterans	Assassin Rabbit	Use precise ability rotations and quick thinking to shadowstep through the most dangerous attacks and top the DPS ranking with assassinate.	The Assassin is forgiving on dodges as long as you have a good understanding of her abilities. Experience from WoW or FFXIV will make up for any shortfalls in precision movement.
  Rhythm Gamers	Dancer And Druid Rabbits	Keep a consistent pattern on your abilities to free your mind from dodging enemy attacks.	Both the Dancer and Druid benefit from sequencing their abilities in repeating patterns with less improvisation than the other classes.

Learn To Rotate Your Abilities

Each of the classes plays to a different rhythm that can take a bit of getting used to. The global and individual cooldowns of different characters fall into regular patterns you can learn to cast for consistent effects.

• The Dancer likes to alternate between primary and secondary skills, gaining bonus damage when the two are used together.
• The Heavyblade uses a consistent 2-3-1-1 rhythm, where the secondary charges your attacks, the special closes to melee range, and the primary deals damage while the special recharges.
• The Wizard’s special cooldown is randomly reset by their primary, but you always want to mix in a single secondary before using the special. Some classes will use their defensive skills as part of their attack rotation. The assassin’s Shadowstep is reset by her basic attacks and empowers her special attack, making it a useful offensive tool when it isn’t needed for survival.

Always Be Attacking

Most of the damage you deal comes from stacking up basic attacks whenever you have the opportunity. Almost every character has one attack they can spam while dodging and at a distance. The gold and experience you gain in a fight depend on the time spent beating the enemy. Some characters can do this more effectively. The Wizard and Heavyblade classes struggle because their primaries are slow or short-ranged, while the Druid’s secondary and special inflict consistent damage regardless of what else they’re doing. On hard difficulty , this becomes especially important. Enemies will be enraged when a fight extends too long , quickly ending your run. For most fights, this won’t appear as long as you’re always casting your primary attack, but particularly nimble boss battles can last if you aren’t making full use of your skills and items.

Know Your Teammates’ Defensive Skills

You don’t need to have a full understanding of all characters’ kits, but it is invaluable to recall what defensive skills your team has access to.

• A druid’s movement buff can save you at the right time if you remember to ask for it.
• The Heavyblade’s group shield can allow a team to ignore certain attack patterns and push for lethal in the several seconds of invulnerability it provides.
• Even ‘selfish’ defensive skills like the Wizard’s ones can erase bullets to protect allies.
• Gemstones that alter Defensive skills can give classes access to powerful new buffs.

Learn To Make Callouts

Multiplayer is made much easier if you’re good at coordinating with your team.Your partners won’t immediately notice attacks that require you to group up or spread out if they’re centered on you and vice versa. Even if you’re able to negate a hit using your defensive moves, your allies can be caught off guard. Good team rhythm is also important to managing the classes that give group buffs. For example, if two Heavyblades block at the same time, one of the cooldowns is wasted. A Druid’s speedbuff used without warning can nudge somebody into an attack they would otherwise dodge. Agood boss for learning this type of teamwork is found in the Scholar’s Nest . Her final phase alternates patterns of special attacks that require grouping up and spreading out while dodging more conventional projectiles simultaneously.

Gemstone Upgrades Can Have Downsides

The gemstone upgrades offered in the shop can change how a character plays, needing you to carefully compare the upgraded and base versions. Here are some common gemstone effects to keep an eye on: They’re upgrades if you have no other items or upgrades, but the important part is whether they work with or against your other items and upgrades.

• Stronger effects with an increased cooldown.
• Combines multiple charges into a single stronger use.
• Replaces the buff provided by a defensive skill. (Be very cautious of these when using the Heavyblade class.)
• Reduces damage for a stronger secondary effect.
• Changes whether you can cast the spell while moving.

Be Careful Of Items That Reduce Movespeed

Just about every attack pattern in the game can be dodged by a skilled player without needing to use a defensive skill. This remains true until you collect two items from the Ruins Set that give significant speed penalties. Certain attacks are functionally unavoidable if you accept loot that reduces your speed. This doesn’t mean these items are unusable: Most of the treasures that slow your character also provide powerful buffs to damage or defense. In other cases, the downsides can be compensated for: A Heavyblade doesn’t need to worry about reduced move speed when they can close distances by jumping.

Identical Debuffs Can’t Stack

The way buffs and debuffs of the same name interact can be confusing. A character can have multiple versions of the same effect applied to them, but an item or skill cannot stack with itself. This greatly changes the value of treasures such as the Sparkblade weapons or Poison set. Applying poison to each hit of a multi-hit attack will have a much smaller impact on DPS than descriptions might indicate. Similarly, long-lasting poisons don’t prevent you from applying other damaging effects on top of them.
