Classes in Mewgenics shape how your character grows from the start of a run. Each class gives different stat bonuses and penalties, which affect your playstyle, combat approach, and overall survivability. Some classes are available right away, while others must be unlocked by progressing through specific zones. One important rule to remember is that after completing any required zone, you need to talk to Butch to unlock the class. You can quickly visit him by opening the in-game map and traveling to his location.
