Tiny Tina's Wonderland class tips: How to choose the best stats, Character Background, Hero Points and Multiclass

Publish date: 2023-01-10

In Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, your Fatemaker can be one of six different classes and your choice will help determine your combat style.

While creating your Fatemaker, you'll also have to choose a Character Background, which has an effect on your starting Hero Stats. These stats are increased by using Hero Points and each class has a set of preferred Hero Stats suited around their specialisms.

Below you'll find both the best Hero Stats for each class and everything you need to know about the multiclass system.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Class List

There are six classes for you to choose from in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and which one you pick will help determine your combat style throughout the game.

Here are the six classes you can choose from:

A seventh class will also be added during the fourth content drop from the Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Season Pass.

How important is the class choice in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands?

The class you pick during Tiny Tina's Wonderlands' Character Creation is very important, because that class will be your primary class and not be changed at any point. As you progress through the game (or campaign, as it were) you'll unlock the ability to multiclass and have a secondary class, which you can learn more about further along.

It's important to note that, unlike the mainline Borderlands games, each individual class only has one Skill Tree, which you'll focus upon until you choose a secondary class. Each class also has two Action Skills and one Class Feat.

Once you've picked a secondary class, you'll have two Skill Trees, two Class Feats and four Action Skills - though the fourth Action Skill will have to be unlocked by levelling up your Fatemaker.

Character Background in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands explained

Your Character Background provides buffs or debuffs to certain Hero Stats in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands - adding or taking away from the initial 10 Hero Points you get for each stat. There are five Character Backgrounds to choose from and you select it after customising your Fatemaker.

It's a good idea to try and match your Character Background with your chosen class; the Village Idiot Character Background, for example, is a good choice for the Clawbringer class thanks to how it buffs your Strength stat, which is an important stat for this class.

Hero Stats and Hero Points: Best stats for each class in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands explained

There are six Hero Stats - Attunement, Constitution, Dexterity, Intelligence, Strength and Wisdom - in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. Each Hero Stat covers an essential part of combat, from your chance of landing a critical hit to your maximum health, and certain stats are better suited for specific classes.

Your initial Hero Stats are affected by your chosen Character Background, which you can learn more about in the section above.

Hero Stats are increased by assigning Hero Points that are earned by levelling up your Fatemaker. During Character Creation, though, you'll be given 10 Hero Points which can be assigned however you like.

Below you can find all six Hero Stats, along with which aspects of combat they increase and which class is preferred for each stat:

Multiclass in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands explained

As you progress through Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, you'll eventually unlock the ability to multiclass and have a secondary class. For us, this option unlocked after completing the 'Emotion of the Ocean' mission when we were Level 13.

After choosing your secondary class, you'll be granted access to its Skill Tree, Class Feat and Action Skills. It's important to note that, for us, the second Action Skill unlocked at Level 17, so you may have to do some levelling to have full access to your secondary classes' abilities.

You can also now invest Hero Points in your secondary classes' Skill Tree, allowing you to add more Passive Skills to your rooster.

We recommend taking the time to carefully consider your secondary class - do you want to have a pairing which compliments each other or the ability to increase a specific type of damage? You could also pick a class to solely unlock a specific Action Skill or Class Feat, such as unlocking the Spore Warden's Mushroom Companion.

Once you've completed the main campaign, you'll unlock the ability to change your secondary class, but not your primary class.
