Nice timing there. Almost like you planned it.

It wasnât planned, but it seemed like the perfect time with their update today. I had quite a few people on PC/Mobile asking for it too.
I just now realize I completely forgot to mention the switching class mechanic. xD

Well I did say almost.
And apparently, consoles start at 1 free change a week unless you unlock a new class.

Oh lol. PC/Mobile started on 1 week timer, but it was eventually reduced to 1 day when I and others complained about it. đ
I have wasted about 500 gems on switching classes back when it was a 1 week timer. I havenât spent gems yet since it was reduced to 1 day.

Yeah, top 3 classes for level/traits would be:
1. Archer - most versatile and basically has Great Mawâs ability
2. Sorcerer - highest magic damage
3. Warlord - best for early game and has highest skull damage

Such a good video. You should include the âgoodbye, heheâ at the end of every vid to match the hellooooo at the start of them all!

Necromancer was the first class I traited, magic link and magic spirit fit right in with my Cresendo team which is part purple for a magic bonus and also has a +2 magic perk and it was a good means to speed grind for souls pre Mab as the soul gain is buffed by VIP and armor multipliers and I was able to finish most games in under 90 seconds and net 60-90 souls in the process (I didnât have a viable Valkyrie team at the time and the few I did build were crazy slow and would lose to randomness more often then I would like)
It stinks because itâs an amazing soul grinder in loop teams early on but most players canât trait him till mid-late game
