As you might have noticed from our recent output, I’ve been sucked back into Brotato following the announcement that new content is on the way at the upcoming Triple-i Initiative showcase next month.
Yesterday, I published a Brotato beginner’s guide packed with handy tips for those just starting out in this spud-powered roguelite, and now I’m back with my recommendations for three character classes that are perfect for newcomers. Study both of these texts wisely, and you’ll be an unstoppable killing machine on the way to Wave 20 in no time.
Before I start, it’s worth mentioning that I have excluded the Well-Rounded character. Not only would this have been an extremely obvious pick, but I think there are even better options for you to choose.
Anyway, enough rambling, and onto my very first suggestion…
Ranger – +50 range and available from the start
I might be slightly biased with this one, as I’m a big fan of ranged weapons, and Ranger was the first character that led me to victory in Brotato.
The Ranger is available from the very start, and with its generous +50 boost to ranged damage, it’s an excellent option for beginners who prefer to keep their distance from enemies while wielding an arsenal of guns.
To create an unstoppable build, invest your points as you level up in attack speed, range, critical chance, and ranged damage. The one limitation for this class to be wary of is that max HP modification are limited by 25%. You can combat this, though, by also investing in upgrades such as armour, life steal, and dodge.
Doctor – HP Regeneration modifications are increased by 100%
For a safer and more forgiving playstyle, the Doctor is absolutely your man and can be unlocked after you heal 200 HP in a single wave.
The Doctor’s biggest strength is that HP regeneration modifications are increased by 100%, making the character far more forgiving when mistakes happen and allowing you to recover health much more efficiently during longer waves.
The Doctor also gains a massive +200% attack speed bonus when using medical weapons such as Scissors or the Medical Gun. I’d recommend sticking with these weapons exclusively and investing your level-up points into damage and melee or ranged damage to help offset their lower base damage.
Multi-tasker – you can equip up to 12 weapons at a time
Last but not least we have the Multi-tasker. This is one of my favourite classes to play around with as you can wield up to 12 weapons at the same time giving you the ultimate taste of power.
The drawback is that each weapon reduces your damage stat by 5%, but it’s a small trade-off considering you’re getting much more firepower. If you plan to go all-in, you can offset this by investing in skills or upgrades that boost your damage.
To unlock the Multi-tasker you’ll need to collect 5,000 materials. This is something you’ll accomplish naturally by just playing the game, and in my own experience I was able to unlock it within my first hour or so.
