To get good at Evil Dead: The Game you must first understand the difference between the four Survivor classes. Each plays a different role, and you'll want to compose balanced teams. Since Evil Dead is also a hero-based game, this means picking a Survivor you like and feel comfortable with in each class.

Initially, it doesn’t seem like Evil Dead: The Game’s characters are that different from one another, but as you spec them out (and respec them), you will be able to make each character your own. But before you do that, let's get to know the classes. 

Each Survivor in Evil Dead: The Game has a unique linear tree of special skills that unlock as you level them up. Aside from those, there is only one unique skill tree per class that is the same for all characters.

All characters have four skills total and start with two of those skills unlocked. The other two skills unlock when a character hits level 10 and level 25 respectively. This structure encourages you to spec each character in a given class differently, similar to how you would in something like XCOM. 

The Leader’s tree primarily focuses on survivability skills like stamina reduction and health buffs. Later, this branches out into skills that increase damage output or the power of your special abilities. We recommend putting points into those unique skills.

Each leader also has an aura ability. The skills Echoes of the Aura and Master of Influence are some of the best for strengthening your aura and helping out your team. 

Many of the later skills in the Warrior tree increase damage done with certain types of weapons. We recommend specializing in what you like to use best, instead of splitting points between heavy and light melee or ranged.

The unique Warrior skills Second Wind and Fighting Shape are both great to get as early as you can. Each increases melee damage when your health is either above or below a certain threshold. This means a well-built Warrior can easily be the deadliest class in Evil Dead: The Game.

The Hunter has access to a wide range of skills. If you want to invest in making shields better, increasing ranged weapon or melee damage, or disabling traps, you can do all of that with a Hunter.

The class also has a very useful skill called Quicker Picker Upper that lets you pick up items faster, and you can exorcise teammates. 

The Support is one of the most interesting classes in terms of builds. The tree contains plenty of regular skills that will make your character stronger, but the class has a focus on increasing resource efficiency. Support skills allow you to carry more healing items and matchsticks and reduces how long it takes you to use them. 

It is important to also invest points in the skills First Aid and Courage in Numbers. First Aid increases the amount of health revived teammates recover, while Courage in Numbers reduces your Fear meter whenever you successfully revive a teammate.

If you take advantage of these skills and become an efficient medic, no demon player will ever be able to take down your squad.
