Which Class is Best to Start with in Core Keeper?

To be honest, the best class depends greatly on your play style and how you want to approach your adventure in Core Keeper. Personally, I struggled to choose just one since several classes intrigued me. Ultimately, I went with the Nomad class. This choice is quite comfortable because you don’t have to worry about maximizing your skills right away; instead, you can gradually improve them and lean towards the ones you enjoy the most as you progress in the game.

In reality, no class is inherently better than another, as you can acquire skills from other classes as you progress, and you can also craft the necessary items.
