All classes ranked

The 4 playable classes are ranked in 3 categories. Damage, Speed and Valve-skipping.

Damage is important to get through the "KILL THEM ALL" sections and Boss fights and every abilitly that gives you bonus damage together with your weapons is vital

Speed is how fast you can get through each level. Your main tools are jumping, dashing and gun jumping (extra boost with weapon knockback). Any ability that gives you just a little bit of extra speed can cut a lot time.

Valve-skipping is how fast you can turn valves to open doors, without being interrupted by enemies. Killing takes time, so every tool that stuns or distracts enemies help you to skip several combat encounters.

C - TIER:
Wierdboy 
His main upside is stunning, either with his grenade (which deals no damage) or his meele.
This sounds first great to stun all enemies to skip valves without a fight, but his grenade is too short lived to catch the waves of enemies and his meele takes too much time.
With no damage or speed bonus and a mediocre way to skip valves he's without a question the worst pick

B- TIER:
Beastboy
Nobody can skip valves better than him with his squig-grenade distracting all enemies.
If you manage to master the art of his squig-grenades you can save a lot of time.
His spears are also a good way to fill the last bit of WAGH if you need to reload otherwise.
Sadly he lacks in noticable bonus damage or bonus speed.

Stormboy
His dash sets enemies on fire and goes farther than any other, giving free damage to everything he can go into close combat with.
His grenades also allow burst damage and ludacrisly fast WAGH build-up.
Sadly he lacks any efficient way to skip valves faster.

A-TIER:
Flashgit
He got it all.
Bonus damage through the free shots allows quick swapping with the rocket launcher and almost no reloading, like EVER.
Bonus speed with the free shots through the bigger clip of the Snazzgun allows far greater gun jumping without any reload than the other classes.
And lastly his lingering fire-grenade is only beat by the squigg-grenade in terms of valve skipping, when placed well AND builds up your Wagh-meter ridicoulusly fast when you stand in it.
The only upside is that you have to rely on RNG for free shots, making him very inconsistent.

All weapons ranked

Bear in mind that I don't discourage experimentation with "bad" weapons. This speedrun community is small and we appreachiate all discoveries.

NEVER-USED:
All weapons that won't get mentioned, cause there are a buttload of them.

B-TIER:
All weapons that you switch in for a segment, but not the whole run.

Buzzsaw:
Switch it in before the Baneblade and maybe the Imperial Knight fight.
It MELTS Bosses it can allow to go into meele range, but sadly, that's only the Baneblade and partly the Imperial Knight

Bolta:
Solid damage, quick reload, too bad the Snazzgun exists. 

Rokkit Launcher:
Outclassed by the Gitseeka, but in Boss levels it can outperform it.

Double Barrel Boomstikk:
Highest burst damage in the game, but the normal Boomstikk is too relyable to balance out the long reload time. Good in Boss arenas and short sequences.

A- TIER
the META, run these weapons at all times if possible.

Six-Shoota:
Insane headshot and normal damge at any range, with the main downside being a slow reload that can be skipped with WAGH. Outshines every other pistol.

Snazzgun:
Poor non-WAGH damage, but it's the only weapon that allwos LUDACRIS speed when gun jumping (weapon knockback in the air for extra speed) and since you're mostly running through the levels, it's free speed in any midly open areas.
However at point blank it deals the Most WAGH damage of all weapons, great for bosses and tight crowds.

Boomstikk:
Your second Six-Shoota. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's a shotgun, it kills reliably even at higher ranges (For long range and precision the Six-Shoota is still better).
If you quickly switch between the Six-Shoota and the Boomstikk, you deal the most non-WAGH dps possible, THIS IS YOU MAIN COMBAT TOOL.


Gitseeka-Missile:
Spam-God. When no tough enemies are around, use WAGH with this to fill the room with homing rockets. When you need to reload weapons, switch to Gitseeka and fire until you can auto-reload with WAGH to safe time. Use its WAGH as the default option, only Snazzgun-WAGH if the conditions are right.

Scorcha:
No need to reload, overheating deals self damage, which fills up the WAGH meter really fast, damage over time, stuns enemy with fire, deals laughably easy with crowds. Tap-fire it to stun enemies to get through the levels quicker and unharmed. When you're not in a boss/arena and it's too tight for gun jumping, that's your main weapon.

Azrael179 Basic Tips

1) Most of all fights can be skipped. The only required fights are bosses, "kill all enemies areas" and valves that open doors (although those can often too be compleated without killing everyone).

2) Flamethrower is your best friend. It is the best waepon for basic enemies due to its infinite pierce, and decent time to kill on easy. It can also allow you to stun enemies, since basic enemies dont attack when they are on fire you can sometimes use the valve without killing all enemies in the area. but be caerfull, enemies dont count as dead untill they stop moving, so the running blackened enemies still count as alive for purpuse of delaying next wave in "kill all enemies" rooms.

3) From my experience basic shootgun seems to have the highest dps against most bosses, and is the fastest way to kill brutes (ogryns/meganobs/space marines) however i reccomend bolter rifle against space marines, since its easy for them to kill you up close if you are not caerfull about your hp. 

4) Both dealing damage and recieving it fills your waaaah! meter. in that matter hp is a resource you should be converting into waaaah! energy as long as you dont die. becouse of that allowing yourself to be hit is often beneficial.

5) To maximise dps you should time waaaah! usage in such away to use it to reset overheat or instead of reload.

This guide will be updated with more tips as i find them.

6) WAGH reloads all your ammunitions, the only time you should be reloading is while waiting for doors or elevators or the rocket launcher when all your other ammo is depleted.

7) If you're too nervous to switch weapons in a run, use Six-Shoota, Snazzgun, Boomstikk, Gitseeka Missile and Skorcha. 
(Six-Shoota and Boomstikk deal high damage, if you quickly switch betwen them the most and the Gitseeka is great  in general)

8 )  Use the Snazzgun for mainly gun jumping, because its normal damage output is weak
(Gun jumping is when you fire the Snazzgun backwards while repeatedly jumping for insane mobility)

9 ) Use the Snazzgun WAGH for single targets and tight crowds and the Gitseeka WAGH for every other instance.

10 ) If you plan to switch weapons during your run, switch before the Baneblade to Buzzsaw (and back to Skorcha afterwards) and before you press the red button on the Ork ship to Rokkit Launcher.

These are my additions AZRAEL179 was missing in my opinion.
