Drill to Earth's Core Class Tier List

Drill to Earth’s Core Class Tier List (October 2026) Best Classes Ranked

Table Of Contents

I ranked every class by boss damage, farming power, co-op value, and Core cost. Executioner, Priest, Gunsmith, Bounty Hunter, and Prospector take S tier, and each costs 30,000 Cores. If you’re short on Cores, Gunslinger and Bruiser (5,000 each) are the best budget picks.

ADemolitionist, Reaper, Gunslinger, Bruiser, Samurai, Crafter
BTank, Driller, Lucky Looter, Nightcrawler, Pirate, Goblin King
CMiner, Recruit, Scout, Healer, Mechanic, Racer, Witch, Salvager, Princess

How I Ranked Them?

I looked at starter gear, how well level bonuses scale, the Level 4 team bonus in co-op, and how useful each class is early and late. Classes that only shine in narrow situations rank lower.

ProspectorOres auto-smelt, veins drop 2+ items, chance for Pristine Gems

A Tier Classes

ClassCostWhy It’s Strong
Gunslinger5,000+100% Gun Damage, enemy ammo drops
Bruiser5,000+100% Melee Damage, stacking hits
Demolitionist10,000+50% Explosive Damage, explosives cost half
Reaper10,000Soul Lantern AoE, HP grows with kills
Crafter10,000Cheaper crafting, Drill Boost upgrade
Samurai30,000+100% Melee Speed, 25% Crit Chance. Pricey for a pure DPS

B Tier Classes

Tank (5,000) adds a Taunt Banner but has no offense. Driller (5,000) halves Drill upgrade costs, and that only helps while driving. Lucky Looter (10,000) boosts chest loot but depends on RNG. Nightcrawler (10,000) needs darkness. Pirate and Goblin King (30,000 each) are too expensive for what they return.

C Tier Classes

Miner and Recruit (100) are fine starters but fall off fast. Scout, Healer, Mechanic, Racer, and Witch (3,000) are too situational. Salvager and Princess (10,000) are outclassed by Prospector and Priest.

Which Class Should You Pick?

  • Boss fights: Executioner
  • Co-op survival: Priest
  • Farming: Prospector
  • Best budget damage: Gunslinger or Bruiser
  • Pushing depth fast: Driller, for the 50% cheaper Drill Power, Mega Drill, and Power Slam at Level 2

Pro tip: Rankings aren’t unanimous. Some guides rate Pirate, Goblin King, and Princess far higher for coin farming, and drop Priest to A. I kept them lower because they cost more and give less combat value.
