Pirate Class Guide — Tier 5, 30,000 Cores, All 4 Levels

What Pirate actually does

Pirate is a Tier 5 Academy class at 30,000 Cores. Like every class in the game, it hands you starter gear (Pirate Armor Set) and then scales through four levels - three personal upgrades and a team bonus at the end.

The Level 1 passive is the identity: Enemies have a 10% chance to drop Gold Bars. Everything after that builds on the same idea rather than switching lanes.

Level by level

Level 4 is the team bonus - it applies to the whole 30-player server and gates on career total depth, not on anything you do in one run.

Is Pirate worth 30,000 Cores?

At Pirate’s price point the question is never whether the class works - it is whether it fixes a problem you actually have. Tier 5 unlocks cost more than everything below them combined, so buy one when your runs are failing for the specific reason this class solves.

Where it fits in a team

The team bonus is what makes Pirate show up in multiplayer lobbies: +5% Dig Site spawn chance in tunnels. In a 30-player server that is a bonus nobody has to spend their own Cores on, which is why team-first classes get picked even by players who main something else.

Gold bar values sit alongside the ore table in the ores and bars page.

If you have not settled your first purchases yet, the all classes page has every Core price, and the best classes tier list explains where Pirate lands against the rest of the roster.
