Top 7 Classes in South Park: The Fractured But Whole

South Park: The Fractured But Whole features 12 unique classes for players, making the selection for New Kid a bit tricky. Each class comes with its distinct advantages, empowering New Kid with a variety of super abilities. However, not all classes are created equal, and some definitely stand out among the rest.

For instance, the Blaster class excels in dealing close-range damage, while the Elementalist focuses on inflicting status effects. Meanwhile, the Plantmancer serves as a versatile support class that utilizes botanical powers for various effects. To help you choose wisely, this guide ranks some of the most impactful classes available in South Park that you can select for your character.

7. Blaster

The Brutalist is part of the original trio of classes, available for selection upon reaching the Coon Lair. These characters specialize in close-quarters combat, utilizing their fists and gas to inflict harm, rather than typical weapons.

If damage output is your game, the Brutalist is a solid selection. Most abilities are geared toward single targets, although Gastro Smash can strike up to four foes simultaneously, amplifying damage across the board.

Brutalist’s Full Force Fisting skill excels in delivering high damage, especially when paired with optimal artifacts. This move is especially effective against bosses, swiftly reducing their health.

6. Cyborg

The Cyborg class from batch one employs sound, deflection, electricity, magnetism, and weapon functionalities. With medium-range capabilities, it acts as a frontline attacker.

A notable advantage of this class is the Fatal Attraction ability, which can attract nearby enemies from three tiles away, allowing you to control the battlefield without having to reposition. Additionally, it can impose an enraged or slowed state on individual targets.

5. Elementalist

The Elementalist, part of batch one, typically delivers low to moderate damage. It is essential because of its ability to inflict chilling and shocking status effects.

With Hydro Helper, you’ll support both yourself and allies while enhancing their offensive capabilities. The combat skills Sand Trap and Ice Prison can be utilized alternatively for dealing solid blows to enemies.

When facing higher difficulties, the ideal strategy is to cluster enemies together and unleash the Elemental Onslaught ultimate ability, applying both Shock and Chill for maximum impact.

4. Speedster

The Speedster is characterized by its quick strikes but lacks the range advantages seen with the Blaster. While able to down an enemy rapidly, its attacks generally focus on isolated targets.

You can also choose to forgo your next turn for double actions in a single round, ideal for dispatching an opponent before they can heal.

This class benefits players adept at positioning, allowing them to sidestep heavy-hitting attacks from enemies.

3. Martial Artist

This Batch 3 class specializes in striking with kicks and punches, delivering persistent damage against enemies. So far, the Martial Artist has the highest damage output in South Park: The Fractured But Whole.

Though limited in range, this class wields formidable knockback capabilities, efficiently eliminating foes. Just be mindful that some skills require a cooldown period.

2. Plantmancer

This class possesses two offensive and two healing skills, capable of inflicting charm and reviving fallen allies using plant-based powers. The Sweet Scent ability is particularly strong, yielding high-damage attacks with a 100% effectiveness rate.

Root Burst also features impressive knockback potential, propelling foes into one another for added damage. This class shines if you’re keen on a tanky, damage-oriented build.

1. Gadgeteer

Now, let’s wrap up the list with the Gadgeteer, a class reliant on explosive gadgets for its attacks. Its straightforward attacks, such as Boom-Boom Buddy and Straight Shooter, strategically mislead enemies to attack false targets. An added bonus is that this class effectively neutralizes enemy turns as they focus on those decoys.
