Complete Backpack Battles Subclass List

While Backpack Battles heavily rely on item management and combinations, classes play an important role in determining which tools can appear in your shop and what you can combine. Each main job has five sub-roles you can specialize in after buying specific items from the shop after the sixth battle. Some subclasses dominate the meta more than others, so learning which ones to get can help you climb the rank leaderboards.
