Having trouble picking the right class?
This post will give you a definitive and the most accurate list of the best classes that you can buy with Diamonds in 99 Nights in the Forest.
Since 99 Nights in the Forest is a survival game where you get access to better resources the more nights you survive, equipping a class that gives you certain perks is essential.
There are currently a total of 29 available classes in the game, although you can only find 12 of them in stock at the Daily Shop. In addition to that, there are also event classes that you can only buy for a limited time.
With so many options to choose from, picking a class that’s fun to play and good for survival can be a real headache. Add the grind of farming Diamonds for just one class, and it becomes an even tougher choice — especially when there’s no second chance.
So, to help you make a better decision, here are the most recommended classes that you can equip depending on your gaming objectives, so you can get those badges quickly and earn more Diamonds in the process.
99 Nights in the Forest: Five best classes in the game
These classes are highly considered the top classes that anyone can equip in the game, regardless if their goal is to survive or beat multiple entities. However, keep in mind that these classes are quite expensive, so you may need to spend some Robux to purchase hundreds of Diamonds just to unlock them.
1. Fire Bandit (200 Diamonds)
Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Cheaper compared to other powerful classes in the game. | Doesn’t provide any defensive perks. |
| High DPS when the burning effect triggers. | Might not be as efficient in close quarters combat. |
| Killing an edible enemy (like wolves and bunnies) cooks them instantly. |
Apart from the pros above, Fire Bandit is an excellent AOE damage dealer for a skilled player. Using its Wildfire potion, it can set up fire puddles that can burn enemies into crisp once they step on it — good for defending camps and raiding cultist bases and labs.
2. Necromancer (600 Diamonds)
Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Calls an army of cultists that can fight in your stead. | Summoned minions only use their melee attacks for dealing damage. |
| Cultists get increased damage at level 2. | |
| Can tame even the Cultist King. |
If you prefer having other units fight for you, the Necromancer is your best choice. Feel free to overwhelm your enemies with as many as six undead cultists. With multiple units fighting by your side, this class is perfect for solo runs and achieving certain quests that reward Diamonds.
3. Vampire (600 Diamonds)
Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Gets two OP items that amplify its overall abilities at the start of the game. | Vampire Cloak has low armor. |
| High damage with the Vampire Scythe. | |
| Gets a movement speed boost at night and can regenerate its HP by dealing damage. |
The Vampire is by far the best class for anyone who prefers fighting enemies at close range. While the Vampire Cloak doesn’t give that much protection, you can still face enemies head-on with your life-stealing abilities. You also don’t need to be scared of going out at night, because the Vampire can outspeed the Ram and Deer.
4. Big Game Hunter (600 Diamonds)
Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Grows stronger the more things you consume. | Requires excellent hunger level management on the part of the user. |
| Highly versatile, can excel in survival and combat. | Always risky to play if you’re not good at taking down animals that deal lots of HP, like the Alpha Wolves and Polar Bears. |
| High HP. |
Considered by many as the best late-game class in 99 Nights in the Forest, the Big Game Hunter obtains permanent bonuses to its stats the more pelts it consumes. It can become the tankiest class, given that you’re skilled enough to defeat hostile animals around the map.
5. Cyborg (600 Diamonds)
Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Massive AOE damage. | You receive damage and armor reduction if your alien tech overheats. |
| Can clear strongholds by yourself. | |
| High armor. | |
| Easily the best long-range killer in the game. |
If you have at least 600 Diamonds, there’s no better way to spend them than buying the most highly sought-after class in the game, the Cyborg. Its laser cannon literally decimates multiple enemies within an area, and you can do it from a safe, long distance where they’ll be dead before they even reach you.
99 Nights in the Forest overall tier list
Here’s a complete tier list of all the classes in 99 Nights in the Forest, designed to help F2P players find strong and affordable options to suit their playstyle.
Tier | Class |
|---|---|
| S | Cyborg, Big Game Hunter, Vampire, Necromancer, Fire Bandit |
| A | Alien, Beastmaster, Assassin, Base Defender, Brawler, Poison Master, Pyromaniac |
| B (Best for F2P) | Camper, Lumberjack, Berserker, Scavenger, Cook, Gambler, Support, Medic |
| C | Hunter, Fisherman, Decorator, Ranger, Zookeeper, Farmer, Undead, Chef, Blacksmith |
As you may have noticed, classes in the S and A tiers are best suited for combat, while those in the B and C tiers excel in specific survival-related roles — such as self-reviving or gaining advantages in resource gathering and crafting. This makes sense since resources are practically unlimited as long as you can clear the map of enemies.
For beginners and F2P players, we highly recommend choosing any B-tier class that fits your playstyle. These classes only cost a small number of Diamonds, which you can easily farm by playing a few rounds of the game.
