    Mage [S] - Mage is probably the kit that offers the most utility in the game because of how unique its spells are and how it is similar to other kits. At level 1, the kit can already harass people with its Exerium and Perfury. With its other ability Vacuo, it can be used as a strategy to go into nexus at below half-heart but during the time of it activated you won’t die so that you can damage the nexus freely. At level two, Blizzaga, which stuns enemies like Dryad, level three, Kaboom, which basically takes Zephyr’s ability, level four, Desiderium, which provides a cooldown for your other abilities. Though this kit is still under development and may be changed or balanced, at the moment the kit has gained the popularity it never got and is powerful with the variety of spells it has.

    Medic [S] - One of the best support kits for just one reason: healing. Our health is most important to us and the medic’s totem will easily get us back to full health. It benefits you and your teammates so when PVPing or farming, you can easily heal from all the battling. The cooldown is one minute but picking it up will reset it so make sure no one destroys it so you can continue healing. Overall it is a great support kit that benefits the most important part of battling: your health.

    Miner [S] - This kit is a must have if you are farming or getting gold for rushing. You have a chance to double the number of ores you get so when the game just started, people rush to get iron ores to start off with and miner can easily accomplish that for you. When upgraded you also get a chance to get gold ore when mining iron or coal. Without this kit, your initial start in farming will be slow and you will be very behind many others. Overall this kit is one of the most important to start farming.

    Mutant [C] - Mutate yourself to get a random effect. you can get pretty much any effect. This is not recommended if you cannot buy the upgrades. The first upgrade lets you have 25% less chance of getting a negative effect. meaning you have 75% of getting a positive effect which is good for early phases rushing. which gives this kit a B Rank. the second upgrade gives you Tier 2 effects instead of Tier 1. This is really overpowered if you get for example Regeneration II, Strength II, Speed II, Health Boost II..etc. Which upgrades the kit from B to A. the third upgrade, however, gives you a Radioactive Aura. meaning that nearby enemies have a small chance of getting a negative effect if they are around you. The last upgrade is useful in fighting Farmers, giving them debuffs such as weakness or slowness will make them easy to kill. So, if you upgrade this kit to max. This definitely gets an A rank.

    Ninja [C] - It provides support to teammates by giving them immunity to fall damage as well as jump boosts. You also don’t take fall damage. As you slowly get ninja maxed, he will eventually be able to make an NPC clone hence confusing his enemies which can give you an advantage in battle. When you get its shuriken, it has a large cooldown of 30 seconds and only throws one which is not very accurate. Though in my opinion, this ability is not very significant and game-changing, I would not recommend investing all the exp to get this kit maxed as there are just way better kits out there.

    Orion [A] - Orion is a pretty good kit for farming as your dogs will help with you while farming. As you upgrade the kit you are able to even revive one of your dogs if they have died and can have multiple dogs with you. The dogs can be very annoying to go against because your enemy has to go through them first and it is more difficult for them to try to attack you because the dogs are distracting. Overall this is a good farming kit but not one of the best hence it's not S.

    Penguin [S] - It is a very strong kit since it was recently reworked. It shoots a snowball that can slow or stun your enemies depending on how upgraded you have this kit. This kit would be an excellent kit for farming because when your passive Icy Needles curses your enemies, you do slowness 4 and 3 damage to all enemies around the frozen enemy. I recommend buying this kit as it is currently trending due to how powerful it slows or stuns your enemies.

    Phantom [A] - An alternative to the assassin kit because phantom can go through blocks to get into the nexus room also blinding enemies. Phantom can also bring an ally with them to rush nexus which is helpful. You are also given Resistance 5 until you get hit which means you are guaranteed to hit the nexus at least once. If you were to choose a rushing kit, phantom would be a good choice.

    Pyro [A] - Another underrated kit. Pyro is immune to fire and has a chance to ignite enemies on fire if got hit by a sword or a bow. meaning that it has really good advantage over players in 1v1 battles and against farmers. Use your fire charge to put anyone in small radius on fire (Invisible people included). However, it doesn't stop there. the first upgrade heals you if you get on fire. which is good against players who use Fire Aspect swords. the second upgrade however gives you a bow and 16 arrows upon spawning, so you can shoot people from a distance. the third upgrade gives your stone sword a fire aspect sword. Which gives you a huge advantage over your opponents and against farmers. The 4th and last upgrade will make the enemies you kill explode and expand the fire to nearby enemies so you can eliminate them easily.

    Rift Walker [B] - An alternative to transporter but probably not as great. You are able rift to a player on your team and can hold up to 8 allies when upgraded. You are also given strength 2 instead of weakness 2 when you rift when you upgrade to that level too. Rift would probably be best for the farmers to teleport to the nexus faster and start farming or ending the game. Other than that, the kit is a slightly worse transporter but it is easier to set up than transporter.

    Santa [C] - Allows you to drop gifts for allies in which if they pick it up, they get a random positive effect such as Regeneration, Health Boost, Fire Resistance and more. On the other hand, if an enemy picks up your gift, they will receive a random negative effect such as Blindness, Slowness, Nausea and more. This kit is good for early rushing with teammates on smaller maps like in Anni-4. Not hard to understand but definitely useful.

    Scorpio [A] - One of the most annoying kits on Mini-Anni. Because of how small the maps are, scorping someone should not be a problem and you can easily kill them once hooked. At level 2 they get lit on fire when scorped which also help with damage. You can also scorp to your teammates so you can catch up to them if you are far away.

    Scout [B] - A very good kit to travel through the map faster but has some downfalls to it. People always complain that scout isn’t as good as it used to be which is true because it now has a durability that regens so it makes you use your grapple wisely. You can no longer grapple on water which made it very OP but not anymore. Scout is a decent kit and is alright in PVP. I would recommend this kit just because it gets you to places faster.

    Spy [F] - At the moment I give this the lowest rating because its current ability to be given an invisible potion has been removed and has not been updated to something new. The kit is currently useless so at the moment there is no point in buying this kit until you get an update on it. Though this is an alternative to the assassin, you are instantly able to go invisible and rush the nexus but spy needs a rework now and I can’t wait to see what it is.

    Squid [C] - Squid is good on maps that are filled with water, obviously. You start with depth strider boots which allow you to go across the waters easily and have an advantage to everyone who is trying to get across. You can also blind enemies which are helpful for PVPing. Overall the kit is only useful on water maps to pick off people trying to swim.

    Succubus [B] - You are able to drain the life of your enemies and they die instantly when under 4 hearts. You gain back 2 hearts for each enemy drained when upgraded. But if they have more than 4 hearts and you attempt to drain you lose half of their health as true damage so use it wisely. Succubus can be useful for farming to easily get back your hp when you get them low and you get speed when upgraded to level 3 so you can flee from battle. This kit is recommended for farming purposes.

    I would disagree with riftwalker as B because of gapple rift rushing and to a smaller extent invisible rift rushing.

    Anyways good job!
