| Crazy | A high-tempo attacker that leans on attack speed at the cost of other stats, so the run lives or dies on how fast the weapon line comes online. | Attack speed glass cannon | Large attack speed bonus Trade-off in defensive stats | Base game character |
| Ranger | The ranged character, starting with a pistol and a big range bonus so shots connect from outside the crowd. | Ranged specialist | +50 Range Starts with 1 Pistol Ranged damage scaling | Base game character |
| Mage | A caster frame that scales elemental damage and magic weapons, including the wand, scepter and staff lines. | Elemental caster | Elemental damage bonus Magic weapon focus | Base game character |
| Chunky | An enormous health pool on a slow body, built to walk through contact damage instead of dodging it. | Health tank | Very large Max HP bonus Movement speed penalty Defensive build enabler | Base game character |

| Generalist | A frame with small bonuses spread across several damage types so that no single weapon family is wasted. | Flexible all-rounder | Broad minor stat bonuses No weapon family penalty | Base game character |

| Farmer | The harvesting character, converting the Harvesting stat into a steady material income that compounds across waves. | Harvesting economy | Harvesting bonuses Compounding material income | Base game character |
| Ghost | A spectral potato that leans on dodge and evasion instead of health, so a run is either untouched or suddenly over. | Evasion build | Dodge and evasion bonuses Low effective health | Base game character |
| Speedy | A fast, fragile frame that outruns most enemy patterns but cannot absorb mistakes. | Mobility build | Large movement speed bonus Reduced durability | Base game character |

| Hunter | A precision character that stacks critical chance and rewards picking off elites before they close. | Critical hit build | Critical chance bonuses Elite-focused damage | Base game character |

| Bull | A bruiser that fights by running through enemies rather than swinging at them, built around contact damage and body checks. | Charge and ram | Contact and charge damage Restricted weapon loadout | Base game character |
| Knight | An armored potato that turns the Armor stat into a real defensive plan, standing in the wave instead of circling it. | Armor and shield | Armor bonuses Shield and heavy weapon synergy | Base game character |
| Demon | A character that pays health for power, forcing the player to decide how much of the health bar is currency. | Health-for-power trades | Health costs on power gains High ceiling, low margin | Base game character |
| Masochist | A frame that gets stronger as it takes hits, converting incoming damage into output. | Damage-taken scaling | Scales with damage taken Sustain-dependent | Base game character |
| Vampire | A lifesteal character that heals by hitting, which makes Life Steal the priority stat over HP regen. | Life steal build | Life Steal bonuses Healing through damage | Base game character |

| Survivor | A scavenger whose weapon economy runs entirely through crates: crate loot can give a weapon while the shop refuses to sell any, so the build is assembled from what the map drops. | Crate weapon economy | Crate loot can give a weapon No weapons offered in the shop | Primal Dread expansion (2026); unlocked through an in-game challenge |
| Time Shifter | A temporal potato who shifts time when taking damage, so some waves arrive out of order, although the first and the final wave never move. | Wave-order manipulator | Shifts time when taking damage Some waves arrive out of order (first and final waves never move) +5% Speed 100% reduction to Dodge modifications | Primal Dread expansion (2026); unlocked through an in-game challenge |
