Sam B Skill Tree
Health: 110, Speed: 100, Stamina: 90
Specialty: Blunt weapons
Sam B is the game’s tank class. He’s strong and can take a bit more punishment compared to the other characters. His Fury skills allows him to take more damage and generate it to Rage, which in turn he can use to regenerate his health for every Fury kill. His combat skill tree further increases his effectiveness in using blunt weapons and his survival skills even allow him to further decrease damage and even regenerate his HP over time.
If you prefer fighting up close and personal, then Sam’s your man.
