Editorial use-case notes

Choose a scene to focus these notes. The published kit evidence and overall bands remain the same.

Solo survival

Use movement and the smoke-heal option described in the scene notes below as a survival plan. Weak’s smoke has a published healing effect while hidden; its numeric rate comes from one source. Read the kit’s evidence before choosing it for a solo round.

Team play

For a coordinated plan, compare D/Talia’s Blackout, Lucy’s quickhacks, and Maine’s Berserk using the documented effects in the table. These editorial use-cases connect published kit descriptions; the Evidence column retains each description’s source strength.

Against a boss

Against Adam, the existing guide notes emphasize movement and the smoke heal. Against Capri, leave the red impact ring before shooting. Blackout is described as interrupting Adam’s Sandy and Missile and Capri’s car tools. See the boss patterns for the corresponding encounter advice.

Search for a Survive a Psycho tier list currently surfaces short videos and unrelated ranking tools. I did not find a Reddit thread that argues these classes. A community guide that does rank them says the developer skill sheet is incomplete and that its own ranks are about job fit. I am publishing a separate editorial order, and I am labeling the evidence on each row so you can throw the row out if the kit notes are too thin.

Band	Class	Why	Evidence
1	Maine	The only kit with a full number set: about 65% less damage, 55% more speed, 1.6× Zhuo fire rate, no reload, roughly 7 seconds.	1 source for numbers; 2 for skill names
1	Lucy	Monowire plus four named quickhacks: Crippled, Overheat, Burnout, Moonwalk. Cooldowns are not published.	1 source for the full quickhack list
2	Talia / D	Shock, Blackout, Car Crash. Blackout is described as blanking Adam’s Sandy and Missile and Capri’s car tools with NO SIGNAL.	2 sources for D’s names, 1 source for Talia
2	Weak	Smoke restores 5 HP per second while you stay hidden, and you can keep firing.	2 sources for skill names; 1 for 5 HP/s
3	Soldier	Starting guns, no named skill. Useful while you learn a map.	1 source
Unranked	David	Mythic label, but Smart Link, Gorilla Arms, and Two Places are names only.	1 source for reworked skill names; no effect numbers
Unranked	Capri	The survivor class has no published skill list. The Psycho form is a different page.	1 source

Scene notes, still from the same guides: against Adam you want movement and the smoke heal; against Capri you leave the red ring before you shoot, and you do not stand in the ring hoping Berserk saves you. I am not assigning a DPS percentage to anyone. Weapon prices, which do not equal damage, are on weapons. Boss patterns are on bosses. The raw kits are on classes.

Filter the table with the controls above it. They reorder rows in the browser. With scripts off, the table above is already the full ranking.

FAQ

What is the best class in Survive a Psycho?

On published numbers, Maine is the only kit with a complete effect list. Lucy has four named quickhacks but no cooldowns. I put both in band 1 and I leave David unranked.

Is Lucy better than David?

Lucy’s quickhack names are documented. David’s three skill names appear in a patch note without effects. I cannot rank a kit that has no published effect, so David stays unranked rather than “worse.”

Is there a community consensus on Reddit?

I found no discussion thread ranking these classes. Two code posts elsewhere had no comments. This page is an editorial reading of written kits, not a poll.
