What class to choose at the start? What classes to choose later? This South Park The Fractured But Whole Classes Guide will answer all your questions with details on every class in South Park The Fractured But Whole including what classes work well together and what effects their abilities have.
When you make your character you get to choose your starting class. The options are limited at the start to Speedster, Brutalist and Blaster. Your choice represents your base class. As you progress through the game you get to add additional classes and then mix and match between the abilities in those classes. You can only have 4 abilities equipped at once, but these can be any number of abilities from any number of classes you have unlocked.

The Brutalist Class specializes in close range damage attacks. It boasts some of the strongest single target attacks in the game but lacks range. The ultimate ability is also only single target so not best used in most battles.
