Dead Island 2 Classes: Characters & Skills

In Dead Island 2, there are three classes, including different characters. In this article, we will discuss all of them. So let’s get started.

There are 6 slayers in Dead Island 2, and they are divided into three classes: Lightweight, Middleweight, and Heavyweight. These slayers fall into these classes according to their stats and the skills they possess. Now let’s get into it.

Lightweight Class

In the Lightweight class, we have Amy and Bruno; they both are known for their excellent critical damage and agility. Picking up any of them demands you play more strategically and without getting noticed by the zombies to make the most significant strikes.

Amy

She stands out because of her amazing agility attribute, as she has better agility than the rest of the slayers. However, Amy lacks toughness, so using this slayer in the distanced fights against the zombies is preferred.

She is extremely good at running, and this helps her in surviving the apocalypse.

Innate Skills

• Relief Pitcher: Striking a zombie by throwing a weapon makes her regain stamina.
• Divide and Conquer: Attacking the isolated zombie enhances minor damage.

Survivor Skills

• Bob and Weave: This skill allows Amy to increase her agility and attack speed by quickly avoiding the attacks.
• Safe Space: An explosion gets triggered when she uses the med kit that blows zombies away.
• Shin Shrapnel: The slide attack gets a boost and collapses the zombies.
• Vivisuction: Amy’s health is restored by hitting a zombie with a Dash strike.

Bruno

This slayer in Dead Island 2 also has a satisfactory Agility rating, but apart from this, he is mainly praised for the highest critical damage. He has amazing knife skills and knows how to make lethal attacks on enemies using his signature weapon.

Although he has impressive attributes like agility and critical damage, he has the lowest peak health, and in this case, you will have to adopt the dodging playing style. Along with this, you should attack zombies from the back so in this way you can deal them more damage.

Innate Skills

• Backstab: Attacking zombies from the back will boost the damage to a moderate level.
• Rapid Reprisal: When Bruno block or dodges an attack, this skill will increase the agility and heavy attack charges.

Survival Skills

• Bob and Weave: This ability boosts the attack speed and agility and provides the stackable effect when you dodge the attacks in quick succession.
• Second Wind: When Bruno hits the zombie while sprinting, this ability enhances the damage.

Middleweight Class

In this class, we get to see Jacob and Dani, and their highlighted attributes are peak health and stamina. Having a high rating in these two enables you to have close-range combats as you will not have to worry about health declination.

But still, you will need to be concerned about health recovery, so keep all the stuff that may help you recover your health.

Dani

She is good at dominating the ground with her stamina and heavy strikes, and overall she is a tough slayer who is a master at giving hard times to enemies. Her Health recovery is not so good, so you will always have to keep an eye while playing,

But somehow the Blood dust ability fills up this gap as killing the zombies in succession will make her regain her health.

Innate Skills

• Thunderstruck: Dani’s heavy strikes activate an extremely potent explosion on impact.
• Bloodlust: Slaying multiple zombies in quick succession results in health regain.

Survivor Skills

• Invigorating:Dani receives extra health by making counterattacks.
• The Limb Reaper: When you maim a zombie, you will recover the lost health.
• Serial Killer: This ability grants Dani a mild increase in damage after turning down the zombie.
• Vivisuction: The health restores as you hit a zombie with Dash strike.

Here you go with the second slayer, who belongs to the middleweight class; no doubt he has low resilience but other stats, including toughness, peak health, and stamina, are quite impressive. Jacob is always up to encounter the zombies with a fearless attitude.

Innate Skills

• Feral: This ability grants a minor damage boost and the stack effect when you attack swiftly.
• Critical Gains: On hitting the enemies with low stamina gets you the damage boost and stamina recovery.
