There are plenty of classes you can obtain in Bake or Die, each with their own sets of bonuses. Of course there are better and worse classes, but what's important is that all of them are completely usable and viable in some way. The decision of which is the best is not as clear-cut as it seems, as some classes offer more utility while being cheaper than others. With that in mind, we have created this detailed Class Tier List in order to help you navigate the potential confusion.
Bake or Die Class Tier List
While putting together this Class Tier List for Bake or Die, we chose not to include an E tier, since every class provides at least some kind of benefit and is still better than having no class equipped at all. In addition to evaluating their pros and cons, we also considered how challenging certain classes are to obtain, which is reflected in the final ranking. Expensive does not always mean better in Bake or Die! Another thing worth keeping in mind is that some of these classes can be leveled up, and as you do so, additional benefits get unlocked.
