The class shop runs on Pearls, from 40 to 750. Here's the full price ladder, the weapons that come with the big names, and the tier-list verdicts that separate this list from the AI-generated ones (which still count 23 classes and praise the one everyone else calls the worst).
You can afford 10 of 28 priced classes. Top of your range: Adventurer (200 Pearls)
550 Pearls to go for Fire Mage (750) — the consensus endgame pick.

The price ladder
Sailor (40) · Medic (50) · Survivor (50) · Crewmate (60) · Camper (70)
Entry buys. Medic starts with a Medkit — useful, if one-note. Survivor is famously called the worst class in the game by tier lists, so don't let the name fool you.
Builderman (150) · Chef (150) · Harpooner (200) · Merchant (200) · Adventurer (200) · Swordsman (250) · Olympian (250) · Battle Buku (250)
The utility band — economy and quality-of-life picks that shape how your raft runs.
Soldier (300) · Cowboy (300) · Zookeeper (300) · Knight (380) · Sharpshooter (400) · Millionaire (400) · Alien Warrior (400)
Combat identities arrive: Knight brings a Claymore and armor, Sharpshooter a Flintlock, Alien Warrior an Energy Sword.
Pirate (500) · Treasure Hunter (500) · Hero (600) · Battle Bunny (700) · Raider (750) · Ancient Squid (750) · Fire Mage (750) · Ice Mage (750)
The endgame shelf. Fire Mage (Magma Staff) is the community tier lists' best-in-game pick; Hero carries the Holy Sword, Ancient Squid a Squid Laser Gun, Battle Bunny throws Egg Grenades.
Signature class weapons (verified): Magma Staff (Fire Mage), Ice Staff (Ice Mage), Squid Laser Gun (Ancient Squid), Ray Gun + UFO (Alien Overlord), Holy Sword (Hero), Claymore (Knight), Energy Sword (Alien Warrior), Blunderbuss (Pirate), Flintlock (Sharpshooter), Dual Pistols (Raider), Egg Grenades (Battle Bunny).
How to earn Pearls faster
Daily quests, badges and achievements pay Pearls steadily; active codesadd 20 at a time when they're alive; companion chests return some value too. If you're saving for the 750 shelf, the Fire Mage is the consensus destination.
