If you’re wondering which character or class to play as in Evil Dead: The Game, here’s everything you need to know about each Survivor and Demon’s unique abilities and skills.

Evil Dead: The Game boasts over 15 playable characters to play as while you try to banish the Kandarian Demons as Survivors (or alternatively, to resist defeat from the living), and each one falls into a different class — with plenty of different passive and active abilities available to choose from.

With each of the classes, there’s truly something for everyone, with unique skills changing the way that you can approach a match through a myriad of abilities and upgrades as you try to take home the win.

All classes in Evil Dead: The Game

In total, there are seven classes available to pick from in Evil Dead: The Game, which are broken down into the Survivor and Kandarian Demon categories.

The game’s seven classes are:

  • Leader (Survivor)
  • Warrior (Survivor)
  • Hunter (Survivor)
  • Support (Survivor)
  • Warlord (Demon)
  • Puppeteer (Demon)
  • Necromancer (Demon)

Each class has a variety of different characters that can be played — from Cheryl Williams through to Henry the Red — each of which has its own special active and passive abilities.

Some of these characters will need to be unlocked by completing Missions first, however, so you’ll need to put some time into the game if you want to play as the likes of Amanda or Pablo Simon Bolivar.

Evil Dead: The Game Survivor classes, skills & abilities

Below, we’ve listed all of the available characters along with each of their unique abilities.

Leader classes can buff themselves and their fellow teammates.

Leader

The Leader class characters, Annie Knowby, Lord Arthur, and Ash Williams (Ash vs Evil Dead) take familiar buff gameplay elements from RPG and MMO games like World of Warcraft, wherein they are able to boost their own stats (and those around them) through the use of their auras.

On top of that, they’re also slightly more resistant to Fear than everyone else — meaning the likelihood of you getting possessed by an enemy Kandarian Demon is somewhat reduced if you play your cards right.

Warrior

If you’re looking for a tanky, pure damage dealer, you’ll need to look no further than characters of the mighty Warrior class (Ash Williams from Army of Darkness, Scotty, and Henry the Red). They have more health than the other Survivor classes overall and, given their tanky capabilities, deal more melee damage to those pesky Kandarians.

Hunter

Hunter class characters — Ash Williams (Evil Dead 2), Ed Getley, Kelly Maxwell, and Amanda Fisher — are best suited to taking down a demon from afar with a well-placed shot to the head and other extremities.

Hunters inflict more ranged damage than the other Survivor classes, can carry more ammo, and are on the whole, much more efficient at managing their stamina levels.

Support

As the name suggests, Support class characters Ash Williams (The Evil Dead), Cheryl Williams, and Pablo Simon Bolivar lend more of a focus on keeping themselves and others alive.

They’ll be able to start the match with a Shemp’s Cola and an amulet rather than needing to find one, and when you use one, your party members will also gain the positive effects. What’s more, they can carry more of both, too!

Evil Dead: The Game Kandarian Demon boss classes, skills & abilities

Those playing Demons in Evil Dead: The Game won’t have three teammates to rely on for support, and will instead be playing the game completely solo as they try to prevent banishment from the living — that is, except for your two trusty units.

Each of the three Demon classes has its own unique Boss to play as, and each class also has unique units that can be controlled. Below, we’ve outlined each Boss’ skills and abilities to help you understand the focus of their playstyle.

Demon Boss characters can send out basic and elite units to attack or possess.

Necromancer

If you’re a fan of Army of Darkness, the Necromancer class will be exactly the right pick for you. As Evil Ash — the character that (in a campy yet grotesque mental image that is burned into our minds) grows out of Ash’s very own shoulder — you’ll have the ability to summon a skeleton flautist that increases outgoing (and reduces incoming) damage to units that hear it.

Puppeteer

If you’re wanting to try your hand at some skilled possession, you’ll need to look no further than Eligos, the Puppeteer boss. Here, you’re able to control both the minds of the living and your fellow evil foes to up the ante and cause those Survivors to cower in fear.

Warlord

Finally, we have the Warlord. As powerful as it sounds, this boss’ main focus is to bestow buffs onto its units to increase their damage output, while simultaneously reducing any incoming attacks. As Henrietta, you’ll be the overseer of the battlefield as you use everything at your disposal to push back those pesky humans.

Skill points can be put into a tree to improve your character over time.

Skill trees & skill points in Evil Dead: The Game

While each and every character has its own unique abilities and skills, each class also has its own skill tree. As you play the game and level up, you’ll earn skill points that can be spent on things like decreasing cooldowns, reducing the amount of Infernal Energy needed for possessions, and increasing how much of an item you can carry.

Each character will need to progress through their particular class skill tree separately, though — so if you’re looking to power everyone up as much as possible, you’ll likely need to sink a considerable amount of time into gameplay.
