Players can choose which class they'd like to play as. There are 8 classes to choose from (3 more with TotemMod by the TSG), one for each player slot. Each comes with their own starting item(s) and a unique passive ability. As of January 2024, all classes will be max level (30) and with all customizations unlocked. Each class typically has a very unique look with distinct features, although it can be easy to mistake The Chaplain for The Navigator.
