Classes give you special abilities in Dig to Escape that make escaping prison easier. Each class provides a different bonus that helps you dig faster, move quicker, carry more items, or save money. However, classes cost Diamonds to unlock, and you earn Diamonds by completing escape runs. Understanding which classes are worth buying first and which ones work best for each ending helps you spend your Diamonds wisely. This Dig to Escape tier list explains how to unlock all classes in Dig to Escape and ranks the best classes from best to worst.
How to Unlock Classes in Dig to Escape
Classes are permanent upgrades you purchase with Diamonds in the main lobby area. Once you buy a class, it stays unlocked forever on your account and you can use it in any future run.
- Step 1: Earn Diamonds Complete escape runs to earn Diamonds. The further you progress before escaping or failing, the more Diamonds you get. Both successful escapes and failed attempts reward you with Diamonds based on how much you accomplished.
- Step 2: Go to the Classes NPC In the main lobby area before starting a run, find the Classes NPC. This is where you can see all available classes, their costs, and what bonuses they provide.
- Step 3: Purchase a Class Select the class you want to buy and spend your Diamonds to unlock it. Each class has a different Diamond cost, with stronger classes costing more.
- Step 4: Equip Your Class Once unlocked, you can equip the class before starting a new run. You can only use one class at a time, so choose the one that fits your escape strategy.
