Survive a Million Monkeys Classes Guide
Explore the named class roster, understand Survivor and Medic, and separate unlocking another role from upgrading a class you already use.
Survive a Million Monkeys classes include the starter Survivor and named options Medic, Engineer, Juggernaut, Bomber, and Outlaw. Begin with Survivor while learning the fight; consider Medic when you want a class focused on helping teammates rather than treating every class choice as a personal damage upgrade.
Start with the job you want to do
The class choice sits alongside gun unlocks in the survival loop. A class gives your loadout a direction, while your weapon still handles the approaching monkeys. Pick a job you want to perform before spending Gems on a different class.
This class video offers a visual introduction to the roster and its choices. Its ranking is the video's recommendation, rather than an official balance list.
Survivor is a useful starting option because it lets you learn movement and the horde without making another class purchase your first task. Medic's team-helping role gives you a concrete reason to branch out when you play with friends. You do not need a complete collection of classes to begin learning either the map or a gun.
Named classes and broad role differences
The role labels below are broad descriptions used in class coverage, not a specification of every ability. Read the selected class's actual skill text before expecting a particular heal, explosive, defensive bonus, or utility effect; this guide does not assign unconfirmed damage, cooldowns, or prices.
| Class | Broad role | Why you would look at it |
|---|---|---|
| Survivor | Starter | Learn the basic fight before committing Gems to a different job. |
| Medic | Teammate support | You want to help the friends you are fighting alongside. |
| Juggernaut | Frontline | You want to examine a class described around staying near the fight. |
| Bomber | Crowd damage | You are interested in dealing with groups of monkeys. |
| Outlaw | Damage focus | You want to compare a combat-focused class with your existing choice. |
| Engineer | Utility | You want a different team job and will read its actual kit before buying. |
This is a named-class guide, rather than a guarantee that the list contains every option in every later update. It also avoids turning names into invented abilities: Engineer does not automatically mean a specific turret, and Juggernaut does not establish a particular armor percentage.
Unlocking another class is different from upgrading one
Gems can unlock classes or upgrade a class you already use. Unlocking changes the choice available to you; upgrading develops an existing choice. If you want to move from a starter role to team support, that is a different aim from improving the class you already enjoy.
Use the class unlock guide for that purchase decision. Keep your chosen class's requirements separate from the gun unlock route, so you do not mistake one kind of progression for the other.
Put the class into a workable team plan
With friends, say which class you plan to play and what help you intend to provide. A Medic choice is most purposeful when teammates know someone has chosen a supporting job; it does not establish unlimited healing or a guaranteed rescue from a surrounding horde.
Keep moving with the fight and use a gun you understand. If you want a wider recommendation, the class tier list explains its editorial criteria separately. If you are still connecting the tutorial, lobby, and battle, follow the beginner guide first.
FAQ
Are selectable classes the same as weapons?
No. Classes and gun unlocks are separate choices in the official survival loop, so learning a class does not replace choosing a weapon for the fight.
Do I need to unlock Medic to start playing?
No. Survivor is the starter option; Medic is a choice to consider when helping teammates is the role you want.
