Unlock Your Inner Superhero (or Super Zero): A Hilarious Dive into Classes in South Park: The Fractured But Whole
So, you’re ready to enter the chaotic world of South Park: The Fractured But Whole? Great choice! Before you jump into tactical combat with sixth graders and crab people, you’re curious about class customization. How can you maximize your superhero chaos? The game’s class system holds the answer; it’s incredibly versatile.
Ten Tantalizing Tiers of Tactical Tomfoolery
South Park: The Fractured But Whole introduces ten distinct classes right off the bat. Yes, ten. Forget the basic warrior, mage, and rogue. Think about detailed archetypes like the Assassin, who strikes from shadows with deadly precision and maybe a fart or two. Prefer brute force? The Brutalist will let you smash enemies into the next week. For ranged attacks, the Blaster class is your best option. Need strategic control? The Commander buffs allies and influences the battlefield. If you like gadgets, there’s the Cyborg, mixing futuristic tech with fighting skills.
The fun doesn’t end there! Embrace nature’s forces with the Elementalist, or be the horror movie trope as the resilient Final Girl. If trickery is your style, the Gadgeteer gives you quirky tools. Want to channel Bruce Lee? Try the fast moves of the Martial Artist. Interested in mysticism? The enigmatic Mystic awaits. Each class offers a unique playstyle. More details are on The South Park Game Wiki.
Class Chameleon: Changing Your Superheroic Stripes on a Whim
You might wonder, “Ten classes? How do I choose?” Don’t worry! The Fractured But Whole offers flexibility. You won’t be stuck with one class forever. After your initial class choice, you can speak to The Coon for a class switch. It’s simple. If your Blaster isn’t strong enough, switch to the sneaky Assassin with just a chat.
Your class-swapping options grow as you progress in the main story. With Doctor Timothy’s unique tutoring, you access all classes. That’s right! You can master every superhero archetype. Want to be a Brutalist now and a Mystic later? Do it! This flexibility lets you adapt your playstyle efficiently. No matter how much you switch classes, your fart powers remain intact, part of your New Kid identity.
Powers, Skills, and Utterly Ridiculous Ultimate Abilities
You can explore all ten classes, but power has limits. The “Powers” tab in your menu lets you equip abilities. You’ll have three standard skills and one ultimate available at a time. Each class boasts unique moves, so this setup promotes strategic thinking. Choose skills that match your class and the challenges ahead. You decide on damage, crowd control, healing, or a mix. Pick carefully since even minor decisions can lead to victory or hilarious defeats, usually involving farts.
DLC Classes: When the Superhero Gig Gets Even Weirder
Just when you think ten classes suffice, South Park: The Fractured But Whole expands with downloadable content (DLC). The Wikipedia page for South Park: The Fractured But Whole shows two new classes: the Netherborn and the Final Girl. This Final Girl is also available in the base game, but you need DLC unlocks like “From Dusk till Casa Bonita” to access both new classes initially. Once you start these DLCs, they’re available for all future playthroughs, adding replayability to this packed title.
Then there’s the well-known Necromancer class from “Casa Bonita,” often viewed as overpowered. Why? Necromancers raise the dead for their battles. This ability can shift battle outcomes dramatically with undead minions on your side. If you want unstoppable force in battle, the Necromancer is worthwhile. Just be ready to feel a bit guilty as you crush foes.
Class Dismissed? There’s No “Best,” But Some Are Definitely… More “Best” Than Others
Is there a “best” class in South Park: The Fractured But Whole? Not exactly. Every class has strengths and weaknesses. What suits you may differ based on your playstyle and enemies faced. Game Rant emphasizes that experimentation is key to finding your favorite class. However, general recommendations exist.
In early gameplay, many consider the Blaster class an excellent choice because initial party members tend to be tanky characters. The Blaster’s ranged damage nicely complements frontline fighters. As the game progresses, some players switch to the Speedster class for its extra turn potential. Speedsters change combat flow quickly, dismantling defenses fast. Also, if you desire an easy-mode experience, try the Necromancer class for powerful undead hordes tackling unsuspecting foes of South Park.
