Survive a Million Monkeys is a Roblox game where you fight off waves of monkeys. Classes are the roles you pick from, and each one brings its own set of skills and an ultimate. That's why the same run can feel very different depending on the Class you choose, so it's worth knowing how they work before you pick one.

How Classes Change Your Run
Each Class brings its own set of abilities, so the one you pick changes how you fight. Your Class abilities sit on the G and X keys, and the ultimate is on Q, so it's worth learning that layout early.
The ultimate charges differently, filling through kills rather than Cash, so every monkey you defeat moves it closer to ready. When it's full, press Q to use it, and it starts building again from scratch.
How to Unlock Classes
Survivor is the default, so you can use it from your first run without unlocking anything. Medic, Engineer, Juggernaut, and Bomber are all unlocked with Gems, the game's own currency, so you'll need to build up Gems before you can take one. That makes it worth deciding which one to save for first.
Outlaw and Pyromaniac are tied to bundles bought with Robux, Roblox's own currency. Outlaw comes with the Gunslinger Bundle, and the Pyromaniac Bundle grants Pyromaniac, which is a permanent Class that stays with you once you have it.
Which Class Fits Your Playstyle
No single Class suits every run, since it depends on how you play and who you play with. Medic is built around healing and team recovery, and Engineer relies on repairs and automatic turrets. Juggernaut takes hits well and helps control crowds, while Bomber brings explosions and quick movement. Outlaw focuses on direct gun damage.
A simple way to choose is to look at what your team is missing. If nobody is healing, Medic fills that gap. If your group keeps getting pushed back at the front, Juggernaut or Engineer can help hold the line. Pyromaniac has its own skills, Fireball, Molotov, and Immolate, so it's worth weighing alongside the rest once you own it.
FAQ
Where do I check what a Class needs to unlock?
Open the Classes menu in the hub. It lists what each Class requires, so you can see the current details before you spend any Gems or Robux.
Is there a Robux option for Medic?
Yes. A starter pack includes Medic along with some Gems, so it's a quick way to get the healing Class and a head start on saving for the others.
Which Class should a new player start with?
Start with Survivor. It's the default, so you can learn how Class abilities, the ultimate, and the waves work before you spend Gems on another Class.
