South Park: The Fractured But Whole has 12 playable classes and finding the best one for New Kid can be challenging. Every class offers special perks that help New Kid become a superhero with powerful abilities. But not all of them will serve you well and some classes outshine others.
The blaster is excellent for close range raw damage for example, the elementalist is a status effect dealer, and the plantmancer is all around support class that uses plants to do cool stuff. Between them and more, it’s important to know which one is the best one. This guide aims to settle that and lists some of the powerful top-ranked classes in South Park that you can equip for your character.
7. Blaster
| Primary Attribute | Brains |
| Secondary Attribute | Spunk |
| Triple Burn | Fires 3 fireballs at enemies causing burns. |
| Plasma Beam | Gives damage to foes in a line and has a very long range. |
| Heat Wave | Attacks 3 across in front of the user. All enemies hit are also knocked back. |
| Backfire Blast | Ultimate ability. Does a lot of damage and grosses out a lot of enemies in a cone shape in front of you. |
Brutalist belongs to the three initial classes, and you will be able to choose this class after getting to the Coon Lair. These are close-range brawlers who use fists and gas to do damage instead of weapons.
If you like to play with damage build, then brutalists are the right class for you. Most of its abilities focus on a single target, but Gastro Smash can attack four targets at one time, where each target receives extra damage.
Brutalist’s Full Force Fisting ability gives the highest damage, especially with the right artifacts equipped. This ability is perfect to take out bosses to wipe out a large portion of the enemy’s health.
6. Cyborg
| Primary Attribute | Brawn and Spunk. |
| Secondary Attribute | None |
| Fatal Attraction | Pulls in all enemies in a cone and does a little bit of damage to them. |
| Ganz Technique | Gain block and apply Enrage on a nearby enemy. |
| Faraday Uncaged | A fair amount of damage and knockback to an enemy at close range. |
| The Big Guns | Ultimate Ability. Huge damage to a single enemy also knocks them back. |
Cyborg is a batch 1 class that uses sound, deflection, electricity, magnetic, and weapon abilities. It has medium-range attacks and acts as a direct attacker.
One perk of this class is that if you don’t like moving around on the battlefield, equip the Fatal Attraction ability to pull close enemies from a 3-tile distance. You can also use this class to inflict enraged or slow status on a single target.
5. Elementalist
| Primary Attribute | Brains |
| Secondary Attribute | Spunk |
| Sand Trap | Damage three enemies in front of you. |
| Ice Prison | Causes damage and applies Chilled on one target. |
| Hydro Helper | Heals a nearby ally or the user and grants Attack Up to them. |
| Elemental Onslaught | Ultimate ability. Small damage to all enemies that are hit. Shock and chill are also applied to them. |
Belonging to the batch 1 classes, the Elementalist is known to give low to moderate damage to enemies. You need to have this class because of its chilled and shocked status effects.
With the Hydro Helper ability, you can heal your character and allies and raise attacks. As for the combat abilities, Sand Traps and Ice Prisons are used conversely to launch decent attacks on enemies.
If you want to eliminate enemies in Mastermind difficulty, the ideal move would be to gather them around and launch the ultimate ability, Elemental Onslaught, to inflict a Shocked and Chilled status effect.
4. Speedster
| Primary Attribute | Brawn |
| Secondary Attribute | Spunk |
| Quantum Fist | Gives moderate damage to enemies on a single tile. |
| Double Edge | Doubles the action in a single turn. This means players get an extra turn. |
| Supersonic Dash | This ability dashes and knocks down the last target. The fun thing about this ability is that it has a range of three times and does moderate damage. |
| Hyperspace Fury | Ultimate ability that launches a flurry of punches to knock back enemies and does high damage. |
The main selling point of the speedster is that it can attack fast; however, it also lacks the range that is so useful as a blaster. This means that while you can take out an enemy quite fast, your attacks will, for the most part, be focused on a single enemy.
You also can sacrifice your next turn in exchange for having two attacks this round; this is perfect if you want to finish off an enemy before they have a chance to heal.
Speedsters work well for players who have a good sense of positioning and can avoid big-damage attacks from opponents.
3. Martial Artist
| Primary Attribute | Brawn |
| Secondary Attribute | None |
| Dragon Dance | Low amount of damage to all nearby enemies. |
| Dragon Force Punch | Deals massive damage and knocks back enemies. |
| Ultimate ability. Taunts every enemy on the battlefield, inflicts rage, and shields the ability user. | Inflicts slow, defense down, and damage an enemy along with reverse knockback. |
| Dragon Swagger | Ultimate ability. Taunts every enemy on the battlefield, inflicts rage, and also shields the user of the ability. |
Belonging to Batch 3, the Martial Artist uses kicks and punches with knockback moves to slowly take down the enemies. So far, this class gives the highest damage in South Park: The Fractured but Whole.
Despite the limited attack range, this class has a massive knockback effect that can easily take down enemies. However, the downside of this class is that some abilities also require cooldown time.
2. Plantmancer
| Primary Attribute | Spunk, Brains |
| Secondary Attribute | None |
| Sweet Scent | Damages and Charms a foe. |
| Purifying Petals | Heals enemies in a small area and raises their attack. |
| Root Burst | Knocks back and deals small damage to enemies in a large area. |
| Natures Gift | Ultimate Ability. Revives and heals all KO’d teammates. |
This class has 2 attacking and 2 healing abilities that can inflict charmed status effect and revive fallen allies. It uses plant powers to damage enemies. The Sweet Scent is a powerful ability that launches powerful attacks with a 100% raise.
As for the knockbacks, the Root Burst has a powerful knockback combo that pushes enemies into other enemies for additional damage. This class is ideal if you’re into damage-focused tanky build.
1. Gadgeteer
| Primary Attribute | Brains |
| Secondary Attribute | None |
| Gigavolt Globe | Shocks and damages enemy in front. |
| Straight Shooter | A turret is placed that damages enemies on both sides. |
| Boom-Boom Buddy | Places a dummy that attracts enemies. It will explode after one turn. |
| Airborne Annihilator | Shocks and damage enemy in front. |
Let’s move to the end of the list now: Gadgeteer uses shockingly explosive toys. This class has the most straightforward attacks; its Boom-Boom Buddy and Straight Shooter manipulate enemies to aim at false targets. Another reason to use this class is that it doesn’t give a turn to the enemies as they are busy attacking a false target.
