Just thought I'd come up with some different battle classes as a "what-if" scenario. Feel free to do so as well.

Boomerangers: Use singular throwing weapons that return to the thrower and can ricochet off of enemies and walls.

Defenders: Use shields primarily to counter or reflect enemy attacks.

Kickers: Basically Brawlers except their attacks are primarily foot-based rather than fist-based.

Whippers: Characters who use whips... 'Nuff said really.

...That's all I got so far.

Cool I'll try to think of something...

hmmm what about Detonators? They plant and set off bombs to kill the enemy?

*pulls up Soulcalibur character list**decides against it*

Spellswords : Charge moves, which allow for both melee and magical attacks when the combo is finished a certain way.
Jugglers : All about throwing the opponent up to attack from jumps with extending weapons, think Nightfall.
Shapeshifter : We had this in another topic, transforming characters, weapons could be any kind of "focus" for them to keep throught their forms.
Mages : Also from another topic, weaponless class for more varied spell casting.

Shape Shifters - Can transform.
Bombers - Can throw bombs.
Guardians - Wield shields.

EDIT: Ninja'd on the Shape Shifters.

and bombers... I just changed the name

guess it is different tho because you said they throw them

Sniper- Similar to Widowmaker in Overwatch. Can use it as a normal gun or snipe.
Support- Can heal themselves and allies in coop first attack is weak and third is a bit stronger second focuses on healing yourself along with allies and fighting depends on your healing as you have low health and weak attacks so you need to be able to heal (I really wish we had this!).

BEASTS

Don't have weapons, just use their physical Attacks and appropriate elemental attacks. Generally have a charging/movement attack like high five,spyro, sunburn , zap etc...

Four Leggers : Have four legs
Healers : Can heal them self but are not the best at fighting
Toons : Have a weird fighting style
Shape Shifters : Can transform
Psychos : Have psychic abilities

Shielders: Attack with a shield.
Lobbers: Attack by throwing Bombs or Snowballs or.... anything. That's all I have

Medic

I find it odd they didn't give the Knights shields just to distinguish them a bit more from the smashers.
like chop chop.

or give them to brawlers so they they could work a bit more like wildfire. I feel like brawlers do need to be able to shield a bit to make up for their need for very Clos combat.

Guardians - Attacks with a shield or uses one to defend them.
Healers - Heals allies and hurt enemies.
Summoners - Uses a staff to summon helpers. The type of staff they has decides the type of helper they summon.
Dragons - Basically like Spyro or Cynder.
Fraggers - Throws things like dynamite, rocks or grenades. Take Boomer, Thrillipede, Mab Lobs and Lob Goblin as examples.

I don't feel that a "healer" class would suit the game well. Healing is OK, but not a character who focuses on it.
