Power

Ironclad, Demolitionist, Necromancer, Vampire, Knight, and Werewolf can swing a fight or help a player survive one. Other classes offer run support and flexibility; the least combat-focused choices struggle when an encounter gets difficult.

Santa and Elf have festive looks, while Horse, Doctor, and Musician bring gentler designs. Zombie, Frankenstein, and Krampus lean into undead, monstrous, or villainous themes instead.
