Class Tier Rating
Striker Class Striker D TierOkay

Striker-class allows the player to focus on dealing direct damage and damage effects. However, just like the Commando and Enforcer, it suffers from only having two skill slots and players are advised to upgrade to other classes as soon as they can.
