Just like any other MMORPG, Lego Minifigures Online has many characters for players to choose from. Each and every minifigure (as they are called) has a unique look and it’s up to you to collect them all while exploring the online world. It is important that you know everything there is to know about your class when you run around the world, be it on your own or with your friends. According to one of the announcement trailers of the game, there are three class categories in Lego Minifigures Online:ClassSpecialtyExampleDefenderAbsorbing DamageKnight, Viking WomanBuilderConstructionDJ, Chicken Suit GuyStrikerDealing DamageCyclops, Aztec WarriorDefender - Builder - Striker
While every minifigure has health points, a way to defeat enemy targets and the ability to both smash objects and build new ones, these three classes are extraordinarily good at one thing. Take the Builders, for example: They can put up bridges, lay down jump pads or craft cannons. The higher their level, the faster they can build. Your minifigure's damage depends on its elemental alignment, e.g. Nature, Tech or Light.
If you enjoy being the tank in other role-playing games, pick the Defender; should you be interested in using scrap materials to collect additional stars, gather boosts or build faster than anyone else, choose the Builder; if sneaking up behind opponents and knocking them out is more up your alley, then take the Striker.
