|---|---|---|
| 1 | Night vision, plus 20% more melee damage and movement speed in the dark | Buy the class (10,000 Cores) |
| 2 | In the dark, enemies ignore you until you attack | Defeat 2,000 enemies in darkness (listed under Level 2) (the 22 August patch notes) |

The perks are paraphrased from allthings.how's class list (24 September). Requirements come only from a dated or named source, shown after each one; Fandom's older class table predates several balance patches, so check the class menu in the lobby before you grind.
The Level 4 perk works for the whole team, not only you.
How to Unlock Nightcrawler
Classes are bought with Cores at the class shop in the lobby. Sportskeeda and Deltia's Gaming say the shop restocks every 12 hours and Deltia's Gaming says the stock is random, so Nightcrawler may not be for sale when you look; roonby adds that Tier 4 and Tier 5 classes show up less often. Check back after the next restock.
Every Tier 4 class costs 10,000 Cores: Demolitionist, Princess, Crafter, Reaper, Lucky Looter and Salvager cost the same. Cores come from chests, boss walls, badges and codes; how to get Cores lists every source, and the code GAMENAME on the codes page gives 500 Cores.
Once you own more than one class, Fandom's Classes page says 2,500 Cores roll a random passive from another class you own onto the one you play.
The Watcher in the Mineshaft turns on a Nightcrawler who hits it, and a Night Vision potion on the items page gives other classes sight in the dark. Fandom's Church page says Nightcrawler helps you spot a church in the dark.
