Class list and unlocks: official Range and role are our reading of each weapon, not numbers from the game.
Sword & Shield
One-handed sword and shield · Available from the start
The classic gladiator kit. The shield is the only built-in defensive tool among the starting classes, which makes it the most forgiving pick while you learn enemy patterns and boss telegraphs.
Spear
Spear · Available from the start
More reach than the sword. You can hit enemies before they close in, which matters when later Survival waves fill the arena.
Bow
Bow · Available from the start
The only ranged class. Strongest in a squad where someone else holds the enemies in place; harder solo, when crowds can surround you.
Berserker
Two-handed greataxe · Reach level 50, or buy “Berserker unlock”
Added on Oct 30. The store text promises “wide cleaves and a ground slam that hit whole crowds”. Axes of every rarity start dropping from chests once you own the class.
What is the best class in GloryBound?
SphereX Studio has not published damage numbers, so nobody can rank the classes on stats yet. What the official material does tell us is enough to pick well:
- Solo and new players: Sword & Shield. The shield is the only built-in defence among the starting classes. Survival goes up to 60 waves, so not dying matters more than raw damage early on.
- Want to stay out of reach: Spear. You keep melee damage but can hit enemies a step before they hit you.
- Squads of 4: add a Bow. With one or two players holding the front, a ranged player can focus bosses safely. Downed allies can be revived, so a squad covers the bow’s weakness.
- Late Survival waves: Berserker. The class is built around “wide cleaves and a ground slam that hit whole crowds”, which is what the Hardcore (wave 21+) and Insane (wave 41+) waves throw at you.
Update 4 brings PVP

How do you unlock the Berserker?
Two ways, both from the official store text and the Oct 30 update post:
- Reach level 50. The free route. Survival runs and the Trials are where most of your experience comes from.
- Buy “Berserker unlock” for 799 Robux. “Unlock the Berserker class now, without reaching level 50.”
There is also a Berserker Pack for 499 Robux, described only as “Boost the new class now”. Its contents are not listed on Roblox, so check the in-game shop before buying.
