Mewgenics – Best Class Tier List

Choosing the right class in Mewgenics is one of the most important decisions you’ll make before a run. Classes define how each cat behaves in combat, what abilities they can learn, and which roles they fill on the battlefield.

Because Mewgenics uses grid-based, turn-based combat, positioning, survivability, and ability synergy matter just as much as raw damage.

1. Mewgenics Best Class Tier List

Each class is represented by a collar, equipped before a run. As cats level up, they gain access to abilities from their class-specific pool, shaping their long-term effectiveness.  Below is the best classes tier list in Mewgenics, ranked by their performance in combat:
