Classes and Veterans
Compare Warhounds’ five combat classes and ten veterans, learn how to choose a Rookie class, and plan a squad for your next mission.
Warhounds has five combat classes: Assault, Specialist, Sniper, Machine Gunner and Grenadier. Its ten unique veterans have their own backgrounds, personalities and skills. Use these guides to compare their roles and decide who to bring.
Choosing a class for a Rookie? The classes guide shows the Barracks menu path, the class picker and the warning that the choice is permanent. The veterans and MayB guides cover individual characters and their abilities.
Choose Roles That Fit the Mission
Check each soldier’s Skills and equipment before assigning a job. Bring ways to handle the ranges and threats you expect, plus support for an injury or missed attack. A class name is a starting point; the available skills and loadout show what that soldier can do.
Read the mission objective before choosing the squad. A rescue, covert operation or direct fight can call for different tools and soldiers. Make sure the team can complete the objective even if the first plan fails.
Keep Soldiers Ready for the Next Mission
Check who is ready, tired or injured before deploying. Keep substitutes for the roles you rely on so one wounded soldier does not leave the next squad short of firepower or support.
Use the veterans guide to compare characters and skills, and the recruitment guide for hiring, roster capacity and recovery. Plan both together when deciding whether to spend on another recruit or save funds for the next mission.
