There are 500 talents to choose from in the game inprocedurally generated skill trees, across six character classes.

Set traps and protect your base with these tower defense games.

Here they are, ranked.

6Alchemist

The Alchemist is the last class youll unlock and, unfortunately, its the worst.

It’s a shame because it has some genuinely cool elements.

Unlike the other classes, the Alchemist crafts their skills by picking ingredients on the stump or boot talents.

These ingredients are used tocraft a variety of potionsat cauldron talents, which function as skills.

Each of these skills has a limited number, and when they run out, the skill goes away.

While some indie games should remain standalone gems, these popular titles from indie devs deserve a sequel entry.

Gold, found randomly on enemies or generated by Coin Flip kills, is an important resource to balance.

Its used to power-scale at shop nodes, but they are also spent on skills in combat.

This is balanced out by having above-average attack damage and attack speed.

The Warriors general talents focus on durability, attack damage, knockback,and attack speed.

However, they also generate more rage, their main resource, when theyre hit.

The Summoners biggest downfall is that its not always clear if youre scaling well into later nights.

2Wizard

The Wizard is about what youd expect and is all the more powerful for it.

1Archer

Unfortunately, sometimes the first solution is also the most effective.

Right out the gate, you already have the best class unlocked.

But a few successful games and no other classes ever hold a candle to the mighty Archer.

Most ridiculously, you might also spec into homing missiles that blow enemies into smithereens.

The Summoner fights a group of enemies from all directions. The units with halos belong to the Summoner, as do the gravestones in Talented.

Not every game can survive in an oversaturated genre like this.

A Wizard surrounded enemies, firing a black and yellow barrage to the left. Orbs circle them in a radius in Talented.

The Archer surrounded by a swarm of missiles. On an outer radius, yellow arrows orbit.
