- Wants better positioning and confidence
Marksman
BestForEarly solo progression and clean rifle bridge
TimingBefore premium legendary-class spending
DifficultyLower cost, easier practical use
Pros
- Great early solo class
- Pairs naturally with rifle progression
- Strong stepping stone into better credit farming
Cons
- Eventually outscaled by Necromancer
- Less dominant in very long runs
- Still needs good lane discipline
Verdict
Marksman is the better first class for most solo players because it arrives earlier and stabilizes credit farming faster. Necromancer is the better long-term destination once your economy can support the unlock and your fundamentals stop collapsing in mid-run.
Unlock Marksman first if you are still building a solo credit engine. Move to Necromancer once you can afford it without crippling weapon progression and once your run structure is stable enough to exploit its scaling.
